the average is important

An important factor taken into account at the moment to give you the scholarship, and especially to classify the students for the destinations, is the average of your academic record. My average at the end of the first course was quite high, so I had more preference than other people to choose my destination, and take my first choice in my list.

Therefore, the first step to make Erasmus (especially if you have a preference for any destination) is to get good grades in previous years.

It seems silly, but without that would not be in this destination. It’s for this reason that a good motivation for studying can be the possibility to choose your Erasmus’ destination.
