Erasmus+ is an European Union program aimed at promoting cooperation and exchange activities between European universities.
Students participating in the exchanges have the opportunity:
- to take courses in a foreign university without additional registration costs,
- to obtain the recognition of the exams taken and / or to carry out studies for their degree thesis,
- to be able to go abroad receiving a small financial contribution.

It is possible to apply each year for the following academic year by participating in the call published between February and March of each year on this website.
