Erasmus+

BME GTK has signed Erasmus+ student and staff mobility agreements with over 100 higher education institutions across Europe. Through these partnerships, hundreds of students have participated in mobility programmes, either studying abroad at partner universities or joining BME GTK from abroad.

Due to the popularity of international study and professional mobility, the number of students studying abroad is increasing every year. The most popular destinations include Germany, Italy, Austria, Portugal, and Spain, while BME GTK hosts many incoming students from France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal. In line with university regulations, GTK has been operating a strict application process for many years in which academic and professional work and achievements (TDK, Colleges for Advanced Studies) play a significant role.

Students can also participate in Erasmus study mobility programmes and professional internships outside of Europe.

Erasmus+ for PhD students

In the case of doctoral mobility, in order to better serve the diverse learning and training needs of PhD students and to ensure equal opportunities with persons who have higher education employee status, doctoral students and persons who have recently obtained a doctoral degree (hereinafter referred to as postdoctoral researchers) may spend a short or long-term period of physical mobility abroad for study or professional practice purposes. It is recommended that physical mobility be supplemented with a virtual element.

Blended intensive programme (BIP)

Blended intensive programmes are short, intensive programmes that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation. The programmes may include challenge-based learning where transnational and transdisciplinary teams work together to tackle challenges for example those linked to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals or other societal challenges identified by regions, cities or companies.
The intensive programme should have added value compared to existing courses or trainings offered by the participating HEIs and can be multiannual. By enabling new and more flexible mobility formats that combine physical mobility with a virtual part, blended intensive programmes aim at reaching all types of students from all backgrounds, study fields and cycles.
