Study Mobility
Erasmus+ study mobility allows students to spend an integrated study period in one of the partner universities of the Erasmus+ program member states. The program aims to provide students with valuable academic, linguistic and cultural experience while studying in other European countries.
Students who are registered for studies at the College and are not on academic leave can participate in study mobility. The minimum term of the exchange study period is 3 months, the maximum is 12 months.
Within the framework of one study level, a student can go on study and/or practice mobility for a total of up to 12 months. The study period is evaluated in ECTS credits. ECTS, or the European Credit Transfer System, helps to get an overview of higher education, compare it and recognize study results and ensure quality. Successful completion of the study period abroad requires that the Erasmus+ study period is recognized, evaluated with the number of credit points and counted in the College study period and the student’s progress.
The scholarship is intended to help cover travel, accommodation and other costs related to the study period abroad, but does not guarantee that all expenses will be covered.

Erasmus+ internship mobility allows students to practice in foreign companies or institutions in one of the member states of the Erasmus+ program. Students who are registered for studies at the College and are not on academic leave are eligible for Erasmus+ internship mobility.

- To provide an opportunity to develop students’ skills, including language skills and get acquainted with the economic and social culture of the country in question, in the context of gaining work experience;
