FAQs: Mobility for Students
Q&A Physical Mobility
Physical mobility allows students to study, intern, or conduct research at one of the Ulysseus partner universities in-person. This gives you the chance to immerse yourself in a new academic environment, experience a different culture, and expand your professional network.
You can apply for physical mobility through your home university’s Mobility Officer. Make sure to check the specific application deadlines and requirements for each Ulysseus destination.
Yes, funding options like the Erasmus+ programme are available. Check with your university’s Mobility Officer for more details on available scholarships or funding opportunities: Mobiliy Officers Contact Site.
The duration of your physical mobility depends on the programme you choose. It can range from a few weeks (e.g., summer schools) to a full semester or even an academic year for exchanges or internships.
Q&A Blended Mobility
Blended mobility combines both online and in-person learning. You may attend a Blended Intensive Programme at one of the Ulysseus partner universities. Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) are an innovative format of Erasmus+ mobility that combines online learning with a short period of in-person study. You’ll have the opportunity to take part in virtual classes followed by a one-week on-site experience at another Ulysseus university, where you’ll collaborate with students from across the alliance. This flexible and dynamic format makes international learning more accessible to a wider range of students. The recognition of ECTS credits earned through BIPs depends on the policies of your home university.
Check the Ulysseus course catalogue for Blended Intensive Programms. Your Mobility Officer will guide you through the application process and help you with any specific requirements for blended mobility options. Please be aware your home university is responsible for the internal selection of participants and may set a different application deadline.
Blended mobility offers flexibility by allowing you to engage in both virtual and in-person learning. It also allows you to balance academic, personal, and professional commitments while experiencing different cultural and educational contexts.

Q&A Virtual Mobility
Virtual mobility enables you to participate in courses, workshops, or collaborative projects online, with no need to travel. It’s an ideal way to engage with Ulysseus universities without leaving your home institution.
Virtual mobility opportunities are listed in the Ulysseus course catalogue. You can sign up for online courses and activities via the Ulysseus academic offer page.
Some virtual mobility activities offer ECTS credits, while others may not. If a virtual offer awards ECTS credits, this will always be stated on the webpage. The exact amount of credits awarded depends on the specific course. Please check with your home university Programme Coordinator, Director, or board of examiners of your degree programme to confirm if and how the credits will be recognised.
Generally, virtual mobility is free of charge, but some specific courses may have a fee. Check with your university’s Mobility Officer for details. Mobiliy Officers Contact Site.
