Let’s Know About THE EUROPEAN University

Student Exchange Programs
THE European University offers exchange opportunities to its students with American and European higher educational institution as well as those located in other parts of the world. In the framework of the individual cooperation, students are allowed to become exchange students in European and American leading universities for one or two semesters.

International Academic Mobility

• International mobility of students a) within the Erasmus + International Credit Mobility (ICM) Program, and b) in the framework of bilateral agreements with Partner Universities follows the European University “Rule for Participation in the International Academic Mobility Program”.
• Participation in the Erasmus + International Credit Mobility program is based on the results of the annual call by the European Commission. Therefore, the list of host universities for Erasmus exchange varies from year to year, but is growing at the same time. In 2020, the KA107 applications for international academic exchange with European University was submitted by Masaryk University (Czech Republic), West University of Timisoara (Romania), Daugavpils University (Latvia), and WSB University (Poland). In case these applications are successful, students of European University will have the opportunity to travel to 4 new destinations under the Erasmus+ ICM framework
• Unlike Erasmus+ ICM program, outgoing mobility based on bilateral agreements does not depend on the third-party funding. Within this type of format, the scholarship is provided by European University itself, which makes partnerships more stable and diverse. Moreover, unlike the Erasmus+ ICM program, the geographical area of this type of outgoing mobility scheme is not limited to Europe only and the host university can be located anywhere else in the world.
