Erasmus+
ERASMUS+ is the European Union programme for education, training, youth and sport. It offers students the opportunity to study at universities in other European countries, gain international experience, broaden their academic knowledge and experience different approaches to learning.
The ERASMUS+ programme gives students the opportunity to study at universities in other European countries and benefit from the courses and academic opportunities they offer, while developing specialised knowledge, broadening their academic perspective and gaining valuable international experience.
Through the programme, students have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of mathematics, improve their language skills and, at the same time, experience different cultures and approaches to learning.
In a professional environment that increasingly values flexibility, adaptability and international experience, ERASMUS+ students take an important step in their development as future professionals and scientists.
The benefits of participating in ERASMUS+ are widely recognised by students who have taken advantage of this unique opportunity to broaden not only their academic and professional experience, but also their personal horizons.
Key information
The study period abroad lasts for the time required to attend and complete the examinations of one semester, typically 4–5 months. It constitutes an integral part of the degree programme of the Department of Mathematics, replaces the corresponding period of study at the University of Patras and is fully recognised.
Student mobility takes place within the framework of inter-institutional agreements. The list of universities with which the Department of Mathematics has established Erasmus+ agreements is regularly updated and can be consulted through the relevant University services.
Studying abroad
The courses that students intend to attend abroad must be selected carefully. Appropriate correspondence with courses in the Department's curriculum should be ensured, and their content should not substantially overlap with courses that the student has already successfully completed at the University of Patras.
Students are required to take the examinations for the courses attended at the host university and are expected to make satisfactory academic progress during their period abroad. The target workload is 30 ECTS credits. Depending on the number of ECTS credits allocated to each course, this usually corresponds to approximately 5–6 courses.
Courses attended abroad may not also be taken at the University of Patras during the corresponding first examination period.
The host university issues an official Transcript of Records certifying completion of the agreed study programme and indicating the grades obtained. Following academic recognition, the corresponding grades and ECTS credits are recorded in the student's academic record at the University of Patras.
In all cases, academic recognition is subject to a relevant decision of the Department Assembly following a recommendation by the Erasmus+ Committee.
Financial information
Students do not pay tuition fees to the host university. However, they may be required to pay small fees for certain services under the same conditions that apply to local students.
Students selected for ERASMUS+ mobility may receive financial support through the University of Patras and the Erasmus+ programme. The amount of the grant depends on the destination country and the applicable Erasmus+ funding rules.
Living costs vary considerably depending on the destination country and city. Students should therefore plan their budget carefully and take into account accommodation, food, local transport and other personal expenses.
Traineeships
Through the ERASMUS+ Traineeships scheme, students also have the opportunity to undertake a traineeship at a European educational institution, organisation or company during their studies or shortly after graduation.
Applications are submitted following the relevant call issued by the University of Patras. Calls, deadlines and application procedures are announced through the University's Erasmus+ services and, where appropriate, on the Department's website.
