ERASMUS+ Program

• Simplified application procedure
• All participants receive funding
• Partner universities do not charge tuition fees
• Academic recognition of courses taken abroad
• Support during preparation of a stay abroad from the RPTU and at the guest university (culturally, linguistically, organisationally, academically) as well as extra benefits for Erasmus students at the guest university in areas such as searching for housing, on-site language courses, Erasmus Events, etc.
