MOBILITY CAPITAL

One student may participate in mobility periods with a total maximum duration of up to 12 months per study cycle, irrespective of the number and types of mobility activities. Participation without co-financing from EU funds is included in this maximum duration. Mobility capital is calculated at a given level of education and takes into account previous Erasmus+, LLP-Erasmus and Erasmus Mundus mobilities.

ONLINE LANGUAGE SUPPORT SYSTEM (OLS) for KBU students participating in mobility

1) Mandatory online language proficiency tests

Qualified mobility participants are required to take two language proficiency tests in the OLS system (before and at the end of the mobility period).

2) Free online language courses for those interested

All students who have taken the language proficiency test will be able to take a free online language course.Mobility participants who, after the first language assessment in the main language of instruction/work, are classified at level B2 or higher, will be able to choose the implementation of the OLS language course in this language or in another local language of the country they are going to, provided that that it is available in OLS.The license for the course is granted by the AG at the request of the interested student. The course is carried out during the student's mobility (during the trip) in the on-line form.
