ERASMUS
The Erasmus+ programme at the University of Rijeka offers participants a unique opportunity for international mobility and academic development. The programme enables the exchange of students at all levels of study (undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral), as well as teaching and administrative staff with partner universities across Europe and beyond.
Interested students may spend a semester or a full academic year at foreign universities, acquiring new knowledge, language skills, and intercultural competencies. The University of Rijeka actively supports Erasmus+ participants through information workshops, academic advising, and financial support. In addition to academic benefits, the Erasmus experience enables personal development, broadens professional networks, and opens up future career opportunities.
Students of the Faculty of Physics participate in exchanges with renowned European universities and research institutes, where they attend lectures, engage in research projects, and work in modern, well-equipped laboratories as part of international scientific collaborations.
Mobility opportunities include:
- study stays (one semester or a full academic year),
- traineeships,
- Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP),
- YUFE Erasmus study stays,
- traineeships in third countries, and other forms of mobility.
Interested students are advised to contact the Erasmus+ coordinator at the Faculty of Physics as early as possible.
