Study mobility (partner countries)
Erasmus+ provides an opportunity for students to gain international experience and expertise by studying at higher education institutions outside Europe, with which bilateral cooperation agreements have been signed. Erasmus+ partner countries include countries from the following regions of the world, Western Balkans, Asia, Central Asia, Neighborhood East, South-Mediterranean, Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Caribbean. All other countries in the world are able to participate in some Actions under Erasmus+ but only under certain circumstances (for more information, please consult the Erasmus+ partner country coordinators at RTU).
After the nomination/before the Erasmus+ mobility students selected for Erasmus+ study mobility will be asked to confirm the final choice of the university in the online platform outgoingexchange.rtu.lv and to upload the necessary documents.
Choosing appropriate study courses is a key criterion for a successful Erasmus+ mobility. Erasmus+ study mobility is based on the acquisition of study courses at the host university that in content completely or partially correspond with the study courses at RTU. First, it is necessary to find out study courses planned for the following semesters within RTU study programme. Then the student finds similar study courses at the host university in the volume of 30 ECTS or 20 CP.
RTU study courses must correspond to the courses offered by the host university in terms of content, but their titles can differ. Section A or compulsory study courses should match in content completely; section B or professional specialization study courses should comply with the chosen specialization, but in terms of the content they can slightly differ. If the study programme also comprises section C or elective study courses, students can choose any courses offered by the host university, including language courses.
By signing the «Learning Agreement for Studies» and «Application for Study Results Transfer», the study programme director and the academic advisor at International Cooperation Department approve the chosen study courses and the transfer of the results of study courses successfully acquired at the host university during the Erasmus+ mobility.
