Erasmus+ Blen­ded In­tens­ive Pro­gramme

(opens in a new window)

A Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is a short-term programme in blended learning format. By participating in a BIP, students have the opportunity to take a specialised course that combines a virtual component with a short period of international mobility (min. 5 to max. 30 days). BIPs are usually offered in cooperation with our European partner universities. Participating students can earn at least 3 ECTS, depending on the content of the BIP, which can be recognised towards the completion of their degree. For participation in a BIP, Bachelor's and Master's students may be eligible for an Erasmus+ scholarship - depending on the funding available (participation in max. 2 BIPs possible).
