Doctoral students can carry out part of their research activity at qualified institutions abroad subject to prior approval by the Supervisor.

Study periods abroad cannot exceed half of the length of the Doctoral programme and must fall within the three years of regular attendance. For those students who have been awarded a scholarship, the daily amount may be increased by up to 50% if the period of stay abroad is uninterrupted and longer than thirty days (except at partner institutions).

Doctoral students must follow the instructions below to be authorized to spend study periods abroad and to receive the 50% increase of the scholarship.
