Erasmus+

STUDENT EXCHANGES WITH PARTNER UNIVERSITIES

The Language Centre at Lodz University of Technology has been organizing language support and language certification for its students in terms of mobility, internships and work placements abroad under the Erasmus+ program for many years.

Erasmus+ is a programme for universities, their students and employees. It supports the international cooperation of universities. It also enables students to travel abroad to complete part of their studies and take part in internships. It promotes the mobility of university employees and offers numerous opportunities for universities to participate in projects with foreign partners. Some of its actions may also involve other institutions, organizations or companies that cooperate with universities.
