General information
is a programme for the University, its students, and its employees. It supports international cooperation in higher education, allows students to travel abroad for part of their study and practice, promotes the mobility of University staff, and creates numerous opportunities for the University to participate in projects with foreign partners.

In the years 1995-2006, Erasmus was a part of the Socrates programme. In 2007, it became a part of the EU’s Lifelong Learning Programme and expanded to cover new areas, such as student placement in enterprises, University staff training, and teaching for enterprise staff. Since 2014, the programme has been known as Erasmus+. The main aim of Erasmus+ is to improve the quality and attractiveness of vocational education and facilitate international cooperation and exchanges in education.
