Enhancing International Cooperation through Student Exchange Programs

This workshop focuses on the dynamics of student mobility in higher education, specifically examining exchange and degree programs. We explore the importance of building strong personal networks for successful international cooperation, particularly with non-European partners. Attendees will receive insights on incoming and outgoing student services, including acceptance packages and orientation processes. Challenges faced in outgoing mobility, particularly related to the Bologna Process and pressure to graduate faster, will also be discussed. Join us to enhance your understanding and improve student mobility experiences.
