This program allows students from the different faculties of the UB to carry out an international mobility stay for the purpose of studies with funding from the EC, under similar characteristics to those of the Erasmus program: semester or annual exchanges, exemption from paying tuition at the foreign university and recognition of courses taken abroad.
