Currently, the European Commission granted KPU Erasmus Charter allowing for participation in the Erasmus + Programme. Similarly to the past years, the Charter allows for the exchange of students, as well as the administrative and academic staff, as a part of cooperation with the countries taking part in the programme.
Each semester we welcome foreign students, teachers and administrative workers from abroad within the framework of Erasmus+ Programme. This exchange has a great impact on promoting the culture of learning according to European values and standards as well as developing the consciousness of social and material advantages of learning.

A scholarship of 350-600 EUR per month is granted for the mobility.
