OUTGOING STUDENTS

ERASMUS+ STUDIES

The Erasmus+ Studies Mobility programme supports the mobility of undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as doctoral candidates of the School of Medicine, in order to study for a defined period of time at European higher education institutions holding the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE).

Erasmus+ Studies programme is implemented on the basis of valid inter-institutional agreement established between the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and partner higher education institutions abroad. The List of Erasmus+ Partner Institutions is updated on an annual basis.

Student mobility to host institutions is carried out exclusively within the framework of the inter-institutional agreements of the School of Medicine. The duration of the study mobility period may be from one semester up to a full academic year, unless a specific restriction is stipulated in the relevant Call for Applications issued by the School of Medicine or by the host institution. Doctoral candidates may participate in study mobility for a shorter duration, with a minimum period of two (2) months. Postgraduate students and doctoral candidates may participate in physical mobility for a total duration of up to twelve (12) months per cycle of studies, irrespective of the number and type of mobility activities (study mobility and/or traineeship mobility).

Undergraduate students of the School of Medicine may participate in the Programme for a total duration of up to twenty-four (24) months by submitting separate applications under the relevant Calls. Previous participation in the Erasmus+ Programme results in lower priority compared to applicants with no prior Erasmus+ mobility experience.

 

Interested students are advised to:

  • Consult the List of Erasmus+ Partner Universities available within the framework of the Programme:

 

 

  • Visit the websites of the host institutions of interest well in advance, and familiarize themselves with the courses offered to Erasmus+ incoming students, the learning opportunities available according to the year of study, the language(s) of instruction, as well as practical matters related to their stay and studies abroad. Particular attention should be paid to the appropriate selection of the host institution, taking into account the curriculum compatibility, the language of instruction, and other relevant academic and administrative conditions. Failure to notify the cancellation of a nominated mobility place in due time may result in the place not being reallocated to another student.
  • Submit an application for Erasmus+ Studies Mobility, following the instructions outlined in the relevant Call for Applications uploaded on the Announcements webpage of the Secretariat of the School of Medicine.

  • The Call for Applications for Erasmus+ Studies Mobility grants at partner institutions with valid inter-institutional agreements is announced in February/March of each academic year. The selection of students nominated for mobility during the following academic year is carried out in accordance with the selection criteria approved by the Erasmus Committee of the School of Medicine.

 

Selection Criteria for Undergraduate Erasmus+ Students

 

 

 

The primary objective of the Erasmus+ Programme is the full academic recognition of the study period abroad. Full recognition is ensured through compliance with the Erasmus+ rules and procedures and the timely submission of all required documentation.

EUROPEAN CIVIC UNIVERSITY (CIVIS)

 

The European Civic University (CIVIS) (https://civis.eu/en) is an alliance of 11 European universities, sharing the ambition to create a unified European higher education space in which students, academic staff, researchers, and administrative personnel can move and collaborate as freely as within their home institutions.

One of the key priorities of CIVIS is to address major societal challenges of the 21st century, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on the “knowledge square”, shaped by education, research, innovation, and civic engagement.

 

Member Universities of the CIVIS Alliance

 

 

The geographical distribution of the member universities across Europe—from north to south and from east to west—constitutes one of the key strengths of the CIVIS Alliance.

 

 

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

 

The European Civic University CIVIS offers a wide range of educational activities (civis.eu/en/learn).

Among other initiatives, the universities of the CIVIS Alliance participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme.

Erasmus+ Studies at CIVIS Alliance Universities

 

Erasmus+ Studies Mobility opportunities at CIVIS Alliance universities are available to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as doctoral candidates, without the requirement of inter-institutional agreements.

The duration of the studies period may be from one semester, up to a full academic year, unless a specific restriction is stipulated in the relevant Call for Applications issued by the School of Medicine or by the host university. Only doctoral candidates may participate for a shorter duration, with a minimum period of two (2) months. Postgraduate students and doctoral candidates may participate in physical mobility for a total duration of up to twelve (12) months per cycle of studies, irrespective of the number and type of mobility activities (studies mobility and/or traineeship mobility).

Undergraduate students of the School of Medicine may participate in the Programme for a total duration of up to twenty-four (24) months by submitting separate applications under the relevant Calls. However, prior participation in the Programme results in lower priority compared to applicants who have not previously participated.

 

Interested students are advised to:

 

  • Consult the List of CIVIS Alliance Universities:

 

 

  • Visit, in due time, the websites of the universities of interest and obtain detailed information on the study programmes offered to Erasmus+ students, course selection according to the year of study, the language of instruction, and other practical matters related to their studies at the host institution.

Particular attention should be paid to the appropriate selection of the host university, based on curriculum compatibility, language of instruction, and other relevant conditions, as failure to notify a cancellation in due time may result in the mobility place not being reassigned to another student.

 

Selection Criteria for Undergraduate Erasmus+ Students

 

 

 

The Call for Applications for mobility grants for studies at CIVIS Alliance universities is published in November of each academic year. The selection of students who will participate in mobility during the following academic year is carried out in accordance with the criteria set by the Erasmus Committee of the School of Medicine.
