Our faculty has been involved in the Erasmus+ programme, the most important mobility programme, since 1996. Nowadays we have bilateral agreements with more than 60 universities all over Europe giving students, teachers and administrative staff the opportunity to attend partner institutions. We send approx. 80 students to our partner universities every year, and receive more and more incoming students each year.
