The Faculty of Music and Visual Arts of the University of Pécs calls for applications for participating in the Erasmus+ Student Mobility for Learning Programme in the spring semester of Academic Year 2023/2024

 

The aim of the call for applications:

The aim is to ensure the opportunity to gain educational, language and cultural experience in a higher education institution of another programme country. Learning mobility is to enhance the academic performance and develop the personal skills and abilities of the student.

Within the framework of Erasmus+ Programme, successful applicants are given the opportunity to pursue their studies abroad in one of our partner universities in the European Union (students will have the opportunity to study in the same status as the students of the receiving university without paying any tuition fee and examinations passed there can be accepted at the sending university with the approval of the relevant department). The purpose of study tours may be to spend a semester as a partial transfer student, participate in a study abroad programme or work on thesis preparation. The mobility can only be realised if the sending institution accepts the studies to be accomplished abroad and count them in the academic progress of the student (by granting UP credits).

 

Duration of study mobility abroad: min. 2 months - max. 4 months and 2 weeks

 

The mobility must be completed by: 30.06.2024.

 

Currency of the mobility: HUF

 

Erasmus+ students studying abroad:

• spend 2-12 months abroad (depending on the year they are in and the partner institution);

• do not pay tuition fee at the receiving institution; however, may be obliged to pay registration/administration fee (mainly at German universities);

• enrol at the home university, establish an active student status, pay any possible tuition fees due to their home university and receive their grants due for the period of studying abroad;

• do not obtain their degree before ending the mobility;

• can have their studies accomplished abroad counted in their home study requirements (before the student’s departure, the two cooperating departments must agree on the courses to be taken up by the student at the receiving university.

• within the framework of studying abroad at the partner university, PhD students can carry out research specified in their training plan.
