Where can you go?

Erasmus+ student mobility can take place in European Union Member States, countries associated with the Programme and, depending on the opportunities available under a specific project, in other countries around the world. Specific study and traineeship destinations depend on Panevėžio kolegija’s partnership agreements, the type of mobility and the available Erasmus+ funding.

Students can participate in long-term study or traineeship mobility and, in certain cases, in short-term blended mobility. Study and traineeship mobility can generally last from 2 to 12 months, while the physical part of short-term blended mobility lasts from 5 to 30 days.

Participation in Erasmus+ mobility gives students the opportunity to study or undertake a traineeship in an international environment, improve their professional and language competences, gain intercultural experience and become more familiar with study and working environments in other countries.

Up-to-date information on partner institutions, mobility duration, selection requirements and funding is available in the Erasmus+ Studies and Erasmus+ Traineeships sections

Support for students with fewer opportunities

Short-term blended mobility combines 5–30 days of physical activity abroad with a compulsory virtual component. Short-term blended study mobility, including participation in a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), must award at least 3 ECTS credits. Individual support rates and additional support are published in the funding table for the relevant project.

Students and recent graduates who choose eco-friendly travel (carpooling/train/bus) receive an additional amount towards travel expenses (providing documents are required). Travel by boat is not considered an eco-friendly means of travel.

Recognition of study results

Panevėžio kolegija has an established framework for the recognition of partial study results and competences acquired through formal education. It defines the principles and procedures for the recognition of study results and the recognition and conversion of grades.

Grading System and Grade Distribution

Automatic recognition of Erasmus+ learning outcomes and ECTS credits

In accordance with the principles of the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), Panevėžio kolegija/State Higher Education Institution ensures the automatic recognition of successfully achieved learning outcomes and ECTS credits that were agreed in advance in the Learning Agreement / Traineeship Agreement.

All credits successfully earned during the mobility period and agreed in advance are recognised as an integral part of the student’s degree programme. Students are not required to take additional courses or examinations for learning outcomes and credits already successfully achieved and recognised during the mobility period.

Mobility results are recorded transparently, including the original titles of the courses or subjects completed at the receiving institution, together with the credits and grades awarded.
