ISMA full-time students, who have completed at least one year of studies (bachelor degree program) or one semester of studies (master or doctoral degree program) can apply for Erasmus+ study mobility. The duration of the mobility can be one semester or a full academic year. Applying for study mobility is twice a year: in autumn for spring semester (deadline - September 30) and in spring to fall semester (deadline – March 30). Student can apply for study mobility at any foreign partner institution (depending on its study program), which is participating in the Erasmus + program and with whom ISMA has signed an inter-institutional agreement.
The main requirements for the student's participation in Erasmus+ study mobility to be accepted:
