Erasmus + Mobility Program

Student mobility of the European Erasmus + Program aims to improve the quality and strengthen the European dimension of Higher Education. Students can either select mobility for studies at partner universities or for an internship (Erasmus placement).

The responsibility for organizing and developing the Department’s mobility program lies with the Department’s International Relations Committee and the Department’s ERASMUS Academic Co-ordinator, with the support of the ERASMUS Office of the University of Peloponnese. The Department has signed Erasmus agreements with highly esteemed Universities in many countries, aiming to expand collaborations at an educational, research or other academic level.

Under the Erasmus+ mobility program, students of the Department carry out part of their studies and / or internships abroad, while faculty members have the opportunity to teach in other Universities for a short period. In accordance, the Department hosts incoming students and staff from partner Universities.

The Department in order to enhance the mobility of the students:

• Recognizes all the ECTS credits that the student receives at the partner University.
• Encourages the participation of students in the ERASMUS mobility program, by organizing presentations and meetings where among others Erasmus students of previous years participate and share their experiences.

The Erasmus call and the relevant documents can be found on the website of the University, on the website of the Department and finally on the e-class platform.

The mobility of outgoing ERASMUS+ students is regulated by the mobility regulations of the University of Peloponnese and the ERASMUS + Program.
