About Erasmus
The Erasmus+ Programme is one of the most successful educational funding projects in the world! It offers the unique opportunity to UNIC students to study or undertake an internship abroad in another country for a period of at least 2 months and a maximum of 12 months per cycle of studies.
UNIC graduates can also gain their first work experience abroad immediately after their graduation and within a period of 12 months after obtaining their degree. Even though the programme has a European Union character, it also offers the possibility to travel beyond the borders of the European Union.
In addition to student opportunities, the Erasmus+ Programme also provides the opportunity to all full time faculty and staff, to materialize funded mobilities for teaching assignments or training purposes, abroad.
In general a grant is provided to participants who travel abroad! You may contact the UNIC Erasmus Office for further information.
