Erasmus+ outgoing students
If you have reached this page, it means that you want to take part in the Erasmus+ Programme or are considering it. Please read the information we have prepared for you, and if you have any questions, contact the programme coordinator. Erasmus+ is a programme for higher education institutions and their students and staff. Other institutions, organisations, or companies that cooperate with universities may also participate in some of its activities. The aim of the Erasmus+ Programme is to improve the quality of education in participating countries by developing international cooperation between universities and supporting the mobility of students and staff of higher education institutions. As part of the Erasmus+ Programme, students can go abroad for studies or internships. You may go abroad during any cycle of studies (bachelor’s, master’s, or long-cycle master’s) for a total period of no more than 12 months. For internships, students independently find a host institution whose profile matches their field of study and expectations. For this purpose, they may use information collected through surveys or internship offer portals, as well as bilateral agreements signed by the university unit. Recruitment for internships is conducted on a year-round basis.
Note: Our students can apply for Erasmus+ mobility to all universities that are on the list and have signed an agreement with our Faculty. This means that there are dozens of universities to choose from. The condition is that the selected university has a faculty offering a field of study similar to the one you are currently pursuing. It is also important that there is an opportunity to choose courses corresponding to those included in the study programme at your home university.

Note: After starting your mobility at your chosen university, if you are unable to complete your selected courses (e.g. due to a lack of available places), you may choose alternative courses that are in line with your curriculum. This must be done within 30 days of starting your mobility and requires prior approval from the faculty coordinator.
