LANGUAGE SKILLS
Complete an obligatory language test online: you will receive a link to the test to the email address provided by you.
Before and after the mobility period, students are required to complete a language proficiency test. Meeting this obligation is a prerequisite for a positive validation of the mobility. Students for whom the language of study at a partner university is their mother tongue are exempt from the test. Online Linguistic Support (OLS) is available at: http://www.erasmusplusols.eu.
TIME TO GO. HAVE A GOOD STAY ABROAD!
As soon as you arrive, make sure that all courses you have chosen will be carried out.
- If not, make changes to the Learning Agreement: fill out the section of the Learning Agreement study program, which refers to the period of study abroad: “During the Mobility”;
- Any changes must be approved by your Academic Coordinator and sent to the Institutional Coordinator. After establishing the final study program, you are required to provide the Academic Coordinator with the syllabi of all your courses at the partner university, translated into Polish or English;
- NOTE: you have 30 days from the date of your arrival at the partner university to make changes to the Learning Agreement.
Extension of the mobility
Would you like to stay longer? Apply for the extension of your mobility at the partner university before October 30/March 31, using the email address of the University Coordinator. Wait for a reply: the decision to extend your stay must be accepted by the Erasmus + Academic and Institutional Coordinators as well as by the partner university.

Additionally:
- fill out the questionnaire of the National Agency; you will receive a link to the questionnaire sent automatically after completing your stay at a partner university;

NOTE: you have 30 days from the date of ending your mobility at the partner university to complete the above.
How to receive funding?
Apply for the participation in the program. Students qualified for the Erasmus + program receive co-financing for the mobility according to rates set out by the European Union (see the appendix).
Sign the agreement. Scholarship payment is made after signing the financial agreement between the student and the university (the steps leading to signing the agreement are given it in the “Before the mobility” tab).
Take care of the documentation. Students must pay the tuition fees at the home university and do not pay tuition fees at the partner university. The mobility is validated after the student provides all reports and summaries and takes the language test again.
