You can use 12 months in bachelor’s and another 12 months in master’s degree.
Example:
Let’s say that you will go to study in Portugal for a spring semester in the second year of your bachelor for 5 months.
You still have 7 months after that, so you can sign up for another Erasmus+ Programme in your third year, for example in France, where you will spend 5 months again.
But that’s not all. If you count correctly, you still have 2 months left, which you can use, for example, for an Erasmus+ Internship during the spring semester or even during the summer holidays.

NO!!!
This myth has been spreading among students for a long time and it is because everyone thinks that the last semester is time to write their final thesis, and therefore it is not possible to travel.
