The University actively participates in the Erasmus+ Programme 2021–2027, the European Union initiative that supports education, training, youth, and sport in Europe and third countries. In particular, Key Action 171 (KA171) – International Mobility of higher education students and staff supports mobility between third countries not associated to the Programme (such as Albania) and Programme countries (EU Member States and other participating countries), offering the following opportunities:
Mobility Opportunities for Students
Students regularly enrolled at UKZKM can undertake a mobility period at partner universities in Europe and Programme countries through:
Study period: To complete part of your degree programme and earn recognized ECTS credits. Traditional mobility: Full physical stay abroad.
Traineeship/Internship: Practical experience in companies, research centers, or organizations.
Doctoral Mobility: Study or traineeship for PhD candidates and recent graduates.
Blended Mobility: A combination of physical mobility and virtual activities.
Why Participate?
Expand your horizons: Live an international experience that enhances your language, cultural, and professional skills.
Build your future: Internships and study periods abroad are highly valued by companies and institutions.
Be part of change: Join projects that promote sustainability, inclusion, and active citizenship.
What Can You Do?
You can spend from 2 to 12 months at one of our partner universities in Europe or Programme countries, with opportunities to study or undertake internships in organizations or companies abroad. All study areas are included: undergraduate, graduate, PhD, and recent graduates (within one year of graduation).
Main Requirements
Be regularly enrolled at UKZKM and up to date with tuition payments.
Have earned the minimum number of ECTS credits as stated in the call.
Meet the language requirements of the host university (language preparation courses offered by UKZKM may be included).
Not have already exceeded the maximum 12-month mobility period per study cycle (for both study and internship).
Not benefit simultaneously from another mobility programme.
The host country must be different from your country of accommodation during your studies.
Be motivated and ready to represent UKZKM abroad.
Mobility Opportunities for Academic and Administrative Staff
What Can You Do?
Teaching or training periods abroad lasting from 5 days up to 2 months (also in blended mode), aimed at professional development, acquiring new skills, and strengthening international collaboration.
Who Can Participate?
Academic and administrative staff with an active contract and responsibilities aligned (relevant to their day-to-day work at the UKZKM) with the mobility activity. Staff must not carry out the mobility in their country of residence and must not receive funding from other EU-funded programmes for the same period.
Funding and Support
Financial contributions to cover travel and subsistence costs, calculated according to the distance and cost of living in the host country.
Continuous support from the UKZKM’s Educational and Research Projects Office and the International Office of the host university to guide you through all stages — from application to after mobility.
Linguistic and cultural assistance to help you prepare for your experience abroad.
How to Participate?
Mobility can only take place in case when UKZKM has signed an inter-institutional agreement with a higher education institution/organization in Programme countries (EU Member States, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Republic of North Macedonia, Republic of Turkey and Republic of Serbia) under Erasmus+.
Each semester/academic year, UKZKM organizes info sessions and publishes calls for outgoing students and staff interested in participating in international mobility, based on the quotas agreed upon in advance with European partner universities through inter-institutional agreements.
Check the calls published regularly on the UKZKM website and carefully prepare your application.
Main documents required:
Application form, Learning Agreement for studies/traineeship, Mobility Plan (for staff), CV, motivation letter, and language certificates.
The selection process is transparent and merit-based, with clear criteria to ensure equal opportunities for all.
For documents and detailed instructions, please refer to the Practical Information section.
