Incoming Short-term Mobilities for Study

Short-term mobilities could be organized under the Erasmus+ program, where full-time enrolled students in Bachelor’s and Master’s programs are able to apply. 

Having a mobility abroad is a central part of Erasmus+ and has been shown to have a positive effect on later job prospects. It is also an opportunity to improve language skills, gain self-confidence and independence and immerse yourself in a new culture.

For this type of mobilities, the physical mobility period must have at least minimum 5 days and must be combined with a mandatory virtual component. No eligibility criteria are set for the duration of the virtual component, but by combining virtual and physical mobility.

Choosing Romanian-American University in Bucharest means:

  • getting high quality short-term programs in an international university;
  • the possibility to meet people from various countries;
  • travelling around the beautiful mountainous of Romania;
  • and much more.

Every year we are delighted to host students from Europe and all over the world and provide them with the highest quality short-term programs and the best Erasmus experience.

Applications for incoming short-term mobilities are accepted only as participations in the Blended Intensive programmes organized by RAU.  Each Blended Intensive Program has a specific number of ECTS and will be added to a Transcript of Records document.
