 ERASMUS+MOBILITY

and traineeships is
successfully implemented at
West University of Timişoara
(WUT). Once you become a
student at WUT, you have the
possibility to undertake a
learning experience for studies and/or
training in another country at one of our
partner institutions.
The Erasmus+ Programme for student
mobility for studies and traineeships helps
you become part of the international
community of hundreds of students who
study, do research or training abroad. The
experience of an Erasmus+ student mobility
will contribute to your academic and
professional knowledge development,
while at the same time enrich your cultural
and linguistic experience.
Within the Erasmus+ Programme, WUT has
almost 400 partner universities in the EU
Community Programme Countries . A
student mobility for studies and/or training
abroad is offered an Erasmus+ grant for
subsistence of 470 euros/month or 520
euros/month, depending of the country of
destination, to cover for the living costs
during the period of the mobility.
Moreover, since the Erasmus+ Programme
is now worldwide, WUT has over 60 partner
universities outside of the EU Community
Partner Countries . In this case, a student
mobility for studies and/or training abroad
is offered an Erasmus+ grant for
subsistence of 700 euros/month, to cover
for the living costs during the period of the
mobility, together with an Erasmus+ grant
for transport between 20 – 1500 euros.

exchanges and projects" category in 2014,
the WUT constantly strengthens its interna-
tionalization strategies through
educational and research projects, trough
attendance at international events at

mentswith prestigious international
institutions, based on which student
mobilities (studies and placement) as
well as academic and administrative
staff mobilities (teaching and
training) take place.
WUT is the only University in Romania
to win simultaneously the finincing of
two inter-institution cooperation:
“Institutional Change for International

the Huniade Castle, the Bastion, the
Dicasterial Palace or the Union Square, the
