The Erasmus+ program at Unicollege

The Erasmus+ program provides students with the opportunity to spend a semester at one of Unicollege's partner universities in a participating European country, broadening their academic and cultural horizons while gaining valuable international experience. The Erasmus+ study period typically lasts five months, during which students engage in coursework aligned with their academic program. Upon completion, credits earned at the host institution are formally recognized and transferred, replacing equivalent courses in their study plan.

Through bilateral agreements between Unicollege and leading non-European universities, students can also spend a semester studying in Asia or Latin America. For example, they may take Chinese-language courses in Taiwan that count towards their academic curriculum or study Spanish in Argentina, expanding their international learning experience.

To support students financially, Erasmus+ scholarships are available to help cover expenses related to travel, accommodation, and living costs. These grants are awarded based on merit rankings established by the Erasmus Office.

Four ways to engage with Erasmus

Unicollege students can join a study mobility, a professional traineeship, or a buddy/visiting-faculty pathway — each designed around direct university-to-university relationships.

Erasmus+ Study Mobility

Spend a semester at a partner university in a participating European country, attending language courses and taking exams that will be recognized as part of your academic curriculum.

Erasmus+ Traineeship

The Erasmus+ Traineeship Program provides the opportunity to undertake a professional internship at a company or institution located in one of the European countries participating in the program. The internship abroad typically lasts two to three months, after which the academic credits assigned to the internship activities are recognized within your study plan.

Erasmus Buddy Program

Each year, Unicollege welcomes exchange students from its European and international partner universities. Buddies are local students who volunteer to support and guide their international peers during their first weeks of exchange.

Visiting Professors

The Erasmus+ program also facilitates faculty exchanges, welcoming visiting professors from partner universities who conduct workshops and in-depth seminars in their native languages on subjects they teach in their home institutions.

This exchange model is particularly recommended for students who wish to develop linguistic and intercultural competencies, strengthen communication and problem-solving skills, and acquire transversal skills — such as adaptability, resilience, and cross-cultural collaboration — that are highly valued by employers.
