Erasmus +

National University of Music Bucharest is offering a new opportunity to its students, inside the frame of the ERASMUS + Program – Short – term Mobility for Studies or Placement/Traineeship.

This type of mobility allows the students enrolled in all three study cycles (Bachelor, Master, Doctoral studies) to benefit of a physical mobility of minimum 5 maximum 30 days to a partner university/conservatoire or other institution (Orchestras/Choirs, Research institutes, organizations, foundations, libraries, etc.), obtaining 3 ECTS.

Short-term mobility can be accessed as follows:

• by Doctoral students – 5 to 30 days of physical mobility to a partner university/conservatoire or to another institution. The virtual component is recommended, not mandatory.

• By the students enrolled at the Bachelor and Master studies:

Most of this type of mobility is made during the Blended Intensive Programs (BIPs)

What are those BIPs?

A BIP includes both a physical and a mandatory online component (its duration is not mentioned).
