About this ranking

Cities with the most Erasmus universities?

The city with the most Erasmus universities with published deadlines is Paris, France, with 53 universities, followed by Istanbul, Türkiye (39 universities) and Warsaw, Poland (29 universities). More campuses means more potential doors for your university's exchange agreement, not guaranteed places.

Where does this ranking come from and what is left out?

Based on the 715 catalogue cities that have at least one university with published deadlines.

Can I pick my destination based solely on this?

No, and it's worth being clear: which universities you can go to depends on the bilateral agreements signed by your home university, not this catalogue. This ranking is meant for the opposite — to see, among the spots you can actually apply for, which ones fit your budget and which deadlines close first.
