Erasmus+ programme

The UiS sees Erasmus+ mobility as a key component in developing quality in education and in linking education with research and innovation. Mobility not only prepares candidates for future jobs through developing essential 21^st century digital, entrepreneurial and basic skills. It also supports learning a comparative perspective on education, culture and the world, which is crucial to ensure inclusion, citizenship and democratic society.

To read more about how UiS organizes Erasmus+ mobility for students and staff, please see the following pages:

• Erasmus+ mobility in programme countries - European exchanges
• Erasmus+ mobility in partner countries - International Credit Mobility

The UiS participates as partner in 2 Erasmus Mundus joint degree programmes as a result of initiatives to establish strategic partnerships in international education:

• EMMIR - European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations
• MFAMILY - European Master in Social Work with Families and Children

Please visit our Erasmus Mundus web page for further information on our participation and programme information.

The UiS is a partner in a number of cooperation projects in international education co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme. Projects are run by academic departments/centres and headed by an academic project manager. Please consult faculty and department/centre web pages for a list of current projects.

Starting from a cultural link between the twin towns of Stavanger, Norway, and Nablus, Palestine, the drama in education academic group uses the Erasmus+ Global option to mutually exchange staff and recruit students to the Drama and Intercultural Communication course every spring semester.

The EMMIR programme is the first African-European Erasmus Mundus Master Course in Migration Studies. EMMIR is a unique study programme focusing on migration through an intercultural approach. It provides profound theoretical skills in migration studies combined with field work in Europe and Africa. It is designed as a multidisciplinary programme that addresses important contemporary issues in an emerging field of study.  EMMIR is jointly run by three African and four European universities, facilitated by a wider network of partners.

The programme is jointly developed by ISCTE - University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL), University of Gothenburg (UGOT), University of Stavanger (UiS) and Makerere University (MU). MFAMILY is also proud of the active participation of 26 associate partners, 8 of which are higher education institutions from several continents. This gives the programme a truly global character, and a great potential to respond to needs in skills development, teaching, research and employability in the area of social work with children and families.
