The most important objectives of the mobilities are to orient with the Bologna process and internalization, to achieve a significant increase in student and staff mobility between European Higher Education Institutions, to promote broad and lasting inter-institutional co-operation, to contribute to the economic and social development of Europe through the creation of a significant number of higher education graduates with direct experience of European cooperation and to increase the rate of foreign language proficiency in the country. With regard to these objectives, the university puts emphasis on achieving the highest quality in mobilities and raising the number of incoming foreign students.
