The Erasmus Programme is a European Union exchange program offering university students the possibility of studying or working abroad in another European country for a period between three and twelve months. The name of the program refers to Dutch Renaissance humanist and theologian Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He studied at several European universities and described the education as a chance for modern people.
The Erasmus+ Programme builds on the achievements of 30 years of European programmes in the fields of education, training and youth.
It encourages student and staff mobility for study and work, and promotes trans-national co-operation projects among universities across Europe. The scheme currently involves nine out of every ten European higher education establishments and supports co-operation between the universities of 33 countries.
– ESN is the European student organisation whose main mission is to assist international students during their exchange study at the hosting institution.
– ESN VŠMU is one of sixteen sections operating in Slovakia. Under the university, it joins students of the three faculties: Faculty of Theatre, Faculty of Film and Television and the Faculty of Music and Dance. Our section cooperates with the international department of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, thus it is connecting exchange students of both artistic higher education institutions. This cooperation is being implemented at the non- formal platform.
– At the same time, the ESN network members are active in the buddy system – they contact incoming students to assist them to better adapt in the new environment.
During the exchange study, we provide Erasmus students with all information as to those who are unfamiliar with the new milieu thus, we wish to ease the adaptation process in their new temporary stay. We prepare various extracurricular and leisure time activities, especially culture oriented actions. With the guidance of ESN, students have the opportunity to easier get know each other between faculties, as we connect all those coming to VSMU within their exchange study.
