The LLP/Erasmus Program for Students Mobility




The LLP/Erasmus programme allows students to spend a period of study (usually 6 months) at any European University that has signed a bilateral agreement, guaranteeing the student the possibility to follow courses, use the university structure and provisions and have all exams successfully completed recognized and accepted for the appropriate credits.
