Erasmus+

Erasmus+ for Students

Erasmus+ is a European Union program that supports educational exchanges. Under the program, UJW students can study abroad (i.e., complete part of their degree program at a partner university abroad – SMS) or complete an internship at a foreign company (SMP). The National Agency for the Erasmus+ Program and its implementing body in Poland is the Foundation for the Development of the Education System.

Funding to enable students to participate in study programs or internships abroad is awarded through a grant to universities that hold the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). UJW holds this charter. To participate in a study abroad program, you must complete the application form and review the rules of participation (see the files and documents available for download below).
