We are pleased to inform you of the opening of a call for applications for the Erasmus + mobility program with the Technical University of Cartagena in Spain- UPCT. Through this initiative staff members and students from our university (USMBA) will be able to carry out part of their activities/studies at UPCT, receiving funding from the EU.
Staff mobilities will last 5 days, though they may last longer if needed. However, any additional cost will be the beneficiary’s responsibility.
Students who are accepted in this program will receive funding for a maximum of 5 months. However, similarly to staff mobilities, they may stay for a longer period if that is their wish in order to complete a whole semester/year; please note that they will have to assume all costs associated to their stay beyond the 5 months set by the program.
Only official degrees, in Engineering and Telecom, can be selected by visiting students. Below you will find a link with UPCT academic offer:
