Short-term Mobilities for Study or Placement
MS Teams - Join Microsoft Teams Meeting
Short-term mobilities could be organised under the Erasmus+ program, where full-time enrolled students in Bachelor’s and Master’s programs and recent graduates 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 be between 5 days and 30 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, to complete the program, students must receive at least 3 ECTS credits.
All mobilities are organised in compliance with the Regulation for Student Mobilities (RO/EN)
The ERASMUS+ Program offers:
- Opportunity to participate in a short-term blended program organized by a partner university;
- Financial support;
- Cultural, linguistic and pedagogic support for a successful participation to the program;

The completion of the online assessment before departure is a pre-requisite for the mobility, except of native speakers or in duly justified cases.
