The Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme is the EU’s programme to encourage international learning mobility across the African continent. The programme provides support for consortia of African Higher Education Institutions and scholarship opportunities for African trainees, students and staff.

The programme is fully funded by the European Commission. The Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme is part of the Youth Mobility for Africa flagship initiative.

The programme is typically open to:

• Students enrolled in accredited universities in Africa (citizens and residents)
• Academic and administrative staff working at universities in Africa (citizens and residents)

The application process typically involves these options:

1. Apply to your home university: Contact your university’s international office or program coordinator for application procedures and deadlines.
2. Apply to the host university: Once nominated by your home university, you may need to submit additional documents directly to the chosen host university.
3. Apply via the website: Got to applications section and fill in your information according to the calls posted.

Application deadlines can vary depending on the program type and the universities involved. Please refer to the calls for applications or contact your home university for specific deadlines.

Students joining the Gr2A Scholarship Programme get all the information about their institution of stay during the orientation of new students. General services provided by the institutions include health services, counselling services, sports and recreational services, organized sightseeing to tourist attractions, as well as study visa & immigration services which are normally available under the International Office.

The duration of mobility programs can vary. Student exchange programs may typically last one semester or a full academic year, while staff exchange programs may be shorter (a few weeks to a few months).

If the scanned documents are legible (you can verify this by printing them), and the text, logos, and stamps are clearly readable, then scanned copies are acceptable. However, if you have any doubts, you can also send the documents by regular mail. Ideally, we encourage submitting the documents electronically via the Internet. Please be aware that all certificates and degrees must bear the official university stamps for certification.

You are allowed to apply for up to three studies or countries. However, you can only submit one application. It’s important to note that you don’t need to fill out separate applications for each choice. Instead, you apply in priority order. Your first submitted application will be considered your top choice, the second application your second choice, and so forth.

Sending or uploading certificates, degrees, and language tests involves scanning your documents and submitting them via the Internet. These documents are essential for demonstrating your eligibility for the level of study you are applying for. For instance:

• If you’re applying for an MSc program, you’ll need to provide evidence of having a BSc degree or diploma.
• For a PhD application, you must demonstrate possession of an MSc degree and include course records from your previous studies.
• For details on available scholarships, refer to the Mobility scheme & scholarship and/or Mobility type per target group and duration. You can then apply through our online registration/application form.
