Study Abroad as a Freemover, Apply Directly to Any University

Key takeaways

A freemover applies directly to a university abroad instead of going through an Erasmus or exchange agreement, and can usually keep their national student grant.

A freemover is a student who studies abroad independently, applying directly to a foreign university without going through an exchange programme. You stay enrolled at your home university, keep your national funding (BAföG, SU, CSN, Lånekassen, CROUS), and earn fully transferable credits.
