International cooperation

UKSW students and employees participate in academic exchange and take advantage of the wide range of foreign scholars

Cooperation

International partner institutions

One of the UKSW priorities is to tighten and develop cooperation with the world’s leading scientific units and to strengthen its position among European scientific institutions. By 2021, UKSW has concluded 96 bilateral agreements with partner institutions from around the world, e.g. from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Spain, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, United States, Sweden, Ukraine, Hungary, Great Britain and Italy.

Erasmus programme

Students and employees can go to over 300 European universities. During their stay in foreign scientific institutions, programme participants broaden their knowledge and acquire new skills. Every year, several dozen academic teachers go on research stays in foreign partner centers. Every year, the University hosts professors from leading European universities who conduct classes.

The Erasmus program also covers university administration employees who expand their knowledge and professional competences by participating in training courses and workshops organized by foreign institutions, e.g. in Latvia, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Great Britain, France and the Czech Republic. It is also an opportunity to exchange experiences and good practices used at other universities.
