With the minor Study Abroad, the world is open to you! Fontys has various partner universities across the globe where you can do your minor.

About this minor
The Study Abroad Minor usually takes place at one of Fontys' partner universities. You will create a 30 ECTS study program that fits your needs and interests. For example, you can choose to delve deeper into a specific subject related to your major, but you also have the option to broaden your horizons by selecting courses that are not directly related to your major. Your first point of contact is the Internationalization Coordinator of your own program. A list of these contacts can be found on our website. Please note: If you choose to pursue the Study Abroad Minor, make sure to register for it through ProgressWWW under the Study Abroad Minor!

Practical information

There are various scholarships available for Fontys students who follow the Minor Abroad at Fontys partner institutions.
For example:
- The Erasmus+ scholarship is available for Fontys students who are going to Study Abroad at a Partner University or do an Internship Abroad.
- Holland Scholarship Programme is a scholarship from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and is co-funded by Dutch Universities. It is available for students who will study abroad, or internship. It is available for students, studying in the Netherlands, and going outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
If you are dealing with an economic circumstance or health circumstance, you can apply for a supplementary Erasmus+ grant. The monthly grant amount will then amount to €500 to €600 per month. If you travel without any circumstances, you should take into account around €250 - €350 per month. These amounts are a gift and you do not have to repay them.
A minor regulation informs you about what you will learn, how the assessment is structured, and when you have completed the minor. As a student, you can derive rights from the minor regulation.
