The Erasmus+ programme at UiS

The UiS sees Erasmus+ mobility as a key component in developing quality in education and in linking education with research and innovation. Mobility not only prepares candidates for future jobs through developing essential 21st century digital, entrepreneurial and basic skills. It also supports learning a comparative perspective on education, culture and the world, which is crucial to ensure inclusion, citizenship and democratic society.

To read more about how UiS organizes Erasmus+ mobility for students and staff, please see the following pages:

  • Erasmus+ mobility in programme countries - European exchanges
  • Erasmus+ mobility in partner countries - International Credit Mobility

Students and staff at the University of Stavanger as well as in partner institutions across the programme countries can benefit from the Erasmus+ grants for learning mobility experiences. The International Office handles all matters of Erasmus+ grant distribution and applications for admission.

Students interested in an Erasmus+ experience at UiS should first contact your local coordinator in the home institution and find out if your institution and UiS are Erasmus+ partner institutions. For more information on Erasmus+ studies at UiS, please see the UiS student exchange pages.

Staff interested in visiting the University of Stavanger for teaching og learning mobility should contact their home coordinator for grants availability and the relevant academic department at UiS and inquire about possibilities for Erasmus+ visits. Further information is available on our staff mobility pages.

Through the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility action we create opportunities for student and staff mobility across the globe.

The Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility action aims to lay the foundation for mobility cooperation between programme and partner countries. We have been a part of this cooperation since the beginning in 2015.

The UiS actively coordinates and partners in a number of educational-related projects co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme. These projects are run by academic departments/centres, each led by an academic project manager. UiS participates in both Key Action 2, which focuses on cooperation among organisations and institutions, and Key Action 3, which supports policy development and cooperation.

The UiS participates as partner in one Erasmus Mundus joint degree programme:

EMMIR - European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations
