Students can study abroad at a partner higher education institution.

These activities may consist of teaching as well as training periods (such as job shadowing, observation periods, training courses).

  • share their expertise;
  • experience new teaching environments;
  • acquire new innovative pedagogical and curriculum design skills as well as digital skills;
  • connect with their peers abroad to develop common activities to achieve the programme’s objectives; · exchange good practices and enhance cooperation between higher education institutions; better prepare students for the world of work. In addition, the objective is to foster the development of transnational and transdisciplinary curricula as well as innovative ways of learning and teaching, including online collaboration, research-based learning and challenge-based approaches with the objective of tackling societal challenges.
