The Erasmus Program comprises:

  • Student mobility for study purposes: from two to 12 months* of physical mobility at a partner institution.
  • Student mobility for internship purposes: from two to 12 months* of physical mobility per study cycle.
  • Internships for recent graduates: Must be completed within one year of obtaining the respective diploma.
  • BIP’s mixed intensive mobility: Any period of study or internship abroad, of any duration, including doctoral student mobility, may be carried out in the form of mixed mobility. Mixed mobility is a combination of physical mobility with a virtual component, which promotes learning exchanges and online collaborative teamwork.
    For example, the virtual component can bring together learners from different countries and areas of study online to follow courses or work collectively and simultaneously on activities that are recognized as part of their studies.

Any student can carry out a mixed mobility activity participating in a mixed intensive program according to specific eligibility criteria applicable to mixed intensive programmes, described in the Erasmus+ Program Guide.

INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY PROGRAM

The Mobility and Cooperation Office promotes internationalization activities, accompanying the needs of students, teachers and non-teaching staff in their international relationships.

Students who intend to carry out a period of study in international mobility with full academic recognition must prepare their Study Agreement, together with the Academic Coordinator for Mobility in their area of ​​study and request its approval at the host institution, through the MCO.

At the end of the mobility period, the student receives a certificate of attendance and successful completion of the studies carried out (Transcript of Records).

The status of “student in mobility” allows the student to be exempt from paying fees and other similar payments at the host institution.

Since you remain a student at your home institution, you must maintain your status as an IPG student by registering/enrolling and paying the respective fees at your educational establishment during your period of study abroad.
