The Erasmus+ Program offers students a journey of discovery, allowing them to experience different cultures, gain new perspectives, learn foreign languages, enhance their resumes, develop an international vision, and make friends from diverse backgrounds. It contributes to both their educational and professional lives as well as personal development.
Students can benefit from Erasmus+ Program in two ways: study mobility and internship mobility.
Study Mobility involves completing one or up to two semesters of study at a partner institution abroad that holds an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). The duration of this activity can range from a minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 12 months within the same academic year.
Internship Mobility allows students to gain professional training or work experience at a partner company or organization in another country. All students have the opportunity to benefit from Erasmus+ Internship Mobility, with internships lasting between 2 and 12 months. Internships should be planned outside the academic terms.
