Kujawy and Pomorze University in Bydgoszcz participates in the Erasmus+ Programme as part of its long-term international cooperation and academic development. The University has been involved in Erasmus mobility since 2004 and currently participates in the programme under the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education for 2021-2027.
Erasmus+ gives students the opportunity to study at partner universities, complete traineeships abroad and develop academic, professional, language and intercultural competences. It also supports teaching mobility for academic staff and training mobility for administrative staff.
The programme is an important part of KPU’s international activity. It helps the University build partnerships, welcome students and staff from abroad, exchange academic experience and strengthen the European dimension of education.
Erasmus+ at Kujawy and Pomorze University supports several forms of international academic mobility. Each type of mobility has its own rules, documents, deadlines and qualification procedure.
Erasmus+ is more than a temporary stay abroad. It is a structured academic and professional experience that helps students understand different education systems, improve communication skills, gain confidence and prepare for work in multicultural environments.
For students, mobility can be an important part of personal and academic development. Studying abroad allows participants to experience another university, meet students from different countries, compare learning methods and develop independence. Traineeships abroad help students connect academic knowledge with practice and understand professional standards in another country.
For graduates, Erasmus+ traineeships may support the transition from university to the labour market. International work experience can strengthen a CV, help develop practical skills and provide a broader view of career opportunities in Europe.
For academic teachers, Erasmus+ teaching mobility creates an opportunity to conduct classes abroad, exchange teaching methods and build academic relationships with partner institutions. For administrative staff, training mobility supports professional development, exchange of good practices and improvement of university services.
At KPU, Erasmus+ is also connected with the wider process of internationalisation. International mobility, cooperation with partner universities, incoming students and foreign lecturers help create a more open academic environment and support the quality of education.
Students of KPU may use Erasmus+ mobility to study at a partner university or complete a traineeship abroad. Study mobility allows students to follow courses at another higher education institution, while traineeship mobility gives them the opportunity to gain practical experience in a professional setting.
According to the general Erasmus+ framework described on the Polish KPU page, students may take part in mobility during different study cycles. The page also explains that a student may use mobility for studies or traineeships, and that the length and conditions of mobility depend on the type of activity and current programme rules.
Before applying, students should check the current recruitment call, available partner institutions, language requirements, required documents and deadlines. The exact rules may change between academic years, so final information should always be confirmed with the Erasmus+ Coordinator.
Current recruitment rules, documents and deadlines should always be confirmed with the International Cooperation Office or Erasmus+ Coordinator.
Erasmus+ may also support graduate traineeships. This option can be especially useful for students who want to gain professional experience abroad shortly after completing their studies.
The Polish KPU Erasmus+ page states that graduates may take part in traineeships within one year after graduation, and that recruitment takes place during the final year of study. This information should be confirmed with the University before publication as an operational rule for the current academic year.
For the English website, the safest communication is to present graduate traineeships as an available Erasmus+ possibility and direct interested candidates to the Erasmus+ Coordinator for current conditions, documents and deadlines.
Erasmus+ teaching mobility allows academic teachers to conduct classes at partner institutions abroad. It supports the exchange of teaching methods, academic experience and subject-specific knowledge between universities.
On the Polish KPU page, teaching mobility is described as a formal process based on a teaching programme agreed with the host institution. The page also indicates that teaching experience, language competence and first-time participation may be considered during the qualification process.
For KPU, teaching mobility is not only a staff development tool. It also strengthens academic cooperation, helps lecturers compare teaching methods and supports the internationalisation of study programmes.
Erasmus+ also supports training mobility for administrative staff. This type of mobility may include training visits, job shadowing, meetings with staff from partner institutions and professional development activities abroad.
The Polish KPU page explains that training mobility is connected with an individual training programme agreed with the receiving institution. It may include defined training objectives, a work plan and expected results.
This form of mobility helps university staff improve professional competences, exchange good practices and learn how other institutions organise student services, international cooperation, administration and academic support.
Kujawy and Pomorze University also welcomes incoming students, academic teachers and administrative staff from partner institutions. Incoming mobility supports intercultural exchange, gives international participants the opportunity to experience academic life in Bydgoszcz and strengthens cooperation between universities.
Incoming students should check available courses, learning agreement requirements, academic calendar, accommodation information and practical details before arrival. Staff members planning a teaching or training stay should confirm the scope of the visit, documents and organisational arrangements with KPU.
For international participants, the Erasmus+ section should work as a clear navigation point: from general information to courses, mobility rules, contact details and practical support.
An important part of Erasmus+ mobility is academic recognition. Students should know before departure how their study period, courses and learning outcomes will be recognised after returning to the home university.
The Polish KPU page refers to recognition of foreign study periods and academic achievements within Erasmus+ procedures. It also mentions that incoming exchange students are registered at the University for the exchange period and receive confirmation of their academic achievements.
On the English website, this section should be practical and reassuring. Students should understand that mobility is not only an experience abroad, but also a formal academic process based on documents, learning agreements and confirmation of completed courses.
International cooperation is an important part of the academic development of Kujawy and Pomorze University. Erasmus+ supports this process by enabling mobility, cooperation with partner institutions, teaching exchange, staff development and international student experience.
The Erasmus Policy Statement published on the Polish page describes internationalisation as a strategic priority for the University. It refers to cooperation with institutions from different countries, development of international academic contacts, language learning, international content in study programmes and intercultural dialogue.
This approach helps the University develop a more open academic community. It also supports students who may not be able to travel abroad, because internationalisation can also take place through guest lectures, international conferences, events, cooperation projects and the presence of students and staff from other countries.
Erasmus+ at Kujawy and Pomorze University in Bydgoszcz supports student mobility, graduate traineeships, teaching mobility, staff training and international cooperation. It helps students and staff gain experience abroad while strengthening academic partnerships.

Students may use Erasmus+ to study abroad at a partner university or to complete a traineeship abroad. Study mobility is connected with academic courses and recognition of learning outcomes. Traineeship mobility is more practical and usually takes place in a company, institution or organisation related to the student’s field of study.
Before departure, students should confirm the host institution, study programme, learning agreement, language requirements, documents and rules for academic recognition.
Erasmus+ traineeships are practical placements abroad. They help students connect academic knowledge with real professional experience and develop skills useful in future employment.
A traineeship may take place in an organisation, company or institution abroad. The exact conditions, duration, grant amount and required documents depend on the current Erasmus+ rules and the University’s recruitment procedure.
Graduate traineeships may be possible under Erasmus+ if the candidate meets the required conditions and applies within the correct timeframe. The Polish KPU Erasmus+ page indicates that recruitment for graduate traineeships should take place during the final year of study.
Because the rules may change between academic years, students interested in this option should contact the Erasmus+ Coordinator before graduation.
Students may be asked to prepare documents such as an application form, CV, motivation letter, language certificate or other confirmation of language competence. If a candidate does not have a language certificate, the University may require language verification during the qualification process.
The final list of documents depends on the type of mobility, current recruitment rules and host institution requirements. Students should not rely on archived documents without checking the current procedure.
The qualification process may include formal verification of documents and assessment of the candidate’s academic results, language competence and motivation. The Polish KPU page also describes a qualification committee and the possibility of creating a reserve list if there are more candidates than available places.
Because each recruitment call may have its own rules and deadlines, candidates should check the current announcement and contact the Erasmus+ Coordinator before preparing their application.
Yes, Erasmus+ mobility is based on formal academic documents and recognition procedures. Before departure, students should agree on the academic programme with the University and the host institution.
