Incoming Mobility for Students
Eligibility and Selection Process for Students
The International Relations Office at European University manages incoming mobility flows and provides administrative support for international students. Students nominated by their home university are promptly informed by a representative from the European University's International Relations Office about the necessary application procedures for enrollment. International relations managers assist students in preparing a draft Learning Agreement, offer access to the preliminary course catalog and course descriptions, and provide any other required information. In this process, the managers collaborate closely with the relevant faculties, serving as an intermediary between the academic or administrative bodies and the students.
Once the application is received, the International Relations Office at European University verifies its authenticity and eligibility. Upon approval, the office issues Invitation Letters, Support Letters, or other necessary formal documents based on the student’s requirements.
