The Erasmus Policy Statement presents the internationalisation priorities of Kujawy and Pomorze University in Bydgoszcz. It explains how KPU supports student and staff mobility, cooperation with partner institutions, recognition of learning outcomes and equal access to international academic opportunities.
For KPU, Erasmus+ is not only a mobility programme. It is also an important part of academic development, quality improvement, intercultural dialogue and cooperation with universities and institutions abroad.
The statement describes how KPU develops international cooperation and supports mobility, recognition, inclusion and academic quality within the Erasmus+ framework.
Internationalisation is one of the important directions in the development of Kujawy and Pomorze University in Bydgoszcz. Through Erasmus+, KPU strengthens academic cooperation, supports mobility and develops an educational environment open to international experience.
The University treats internationalisation as more than student exchange. It also includes cooperation with partner institutions, foreign language development, international content in curricula, academic events, joint initiatives and activities that give education a broader European and global perspective.
Participation in Erasmus+ helps KPU exchange good practices with partner universities, support the development of academic staff and create new opportunities for students who want to study, train or gain experience in an international environment.
KPU supports mobility as one of the effective ways to develop academic, professional and intercultural competences. Erasmus+ mobility gives students an opportunity to gain international experience, strengthen language skills and better understand different academic and professional environments.
Academic teachers are encouraged to participate in teaching mobility, lectures, workshops, training activities and meetings with partner institutions. Such mobility supports the exchange of teaching methods, academic experience and practical solutions that can later be used at the home university.
Administrative staff can also benefit from Erasmus+ mobility through training, professional visits and cooperation with staff from partner institutions. This supports the development of administrative competences and improves the quality of university services.
KPU places importance on transparent recognition of mobility achievements. Students participating in Erasmus+ mobility should receive academic recognition for study periods and learning outcomes completed abroad, according to the applicable rules and documentation.
Incoming exchange students are registered for the exchange or study period and are treated as members of the academic community. They should have access to the same academic rights and support as other students during their stay at KPU.
After completing mobility, students receive documentation confirming their learning achievements, including a Transcript of Records where applicable. This supports clarity, transparency and academic continuity between the home and host institutions.
International partnerships are an important part of KPU’s academic development. Cooperation with foreign universities and institutions creates opportunities for mobility, exchange of knowledge, transfer of good practices and modernisation of study programmes.
KPU cooperates with institutions from different countries and continues to develop its international network. This cooperation helps the University strengthen its teaching offer, support academic exchange and build a more open and internationally oriented academic environment.
Partnerships within Erasmus+ also support intercultural dialogue. Students and staff can learn from different academic traditions, compare educational systems and develop competences that are useful in international professional and social contexts.
Erasmus+ supports the development of teaching quality by enabling the exchange of academic experience, teaching methods and organisational solutions. Through cooperation with partner institutions, KPU can compare practices, introduce improvements and adapt selected elements to the needs of students and the labour market.
International experience helps academic teachers update their curricula, broaden teaching perspectives and include European and international contexts in their courses. For students, this means access to education that is more open, practical and connected with international academic standards.
The University aims to improve the effectiveness of education and to adjust academic programmes to changing social, professional and educational needs.
KPU recognises the importance of equal access to international academic opportunities. The University supports fair treatment of students and staff and promotes an academic environment based on openness, respect and intercultural understanding.
Internationalisation also gives students who cannot participate in mobility abroad a chance to experience international perspectives at the home university. This may include lectures with foreign guests, academic events, cooperation with international students and activities that bring different cultures into the university environment.
Intercultural dialogue strengthens the academic community and helps students develop broader social, cultural and professional competences.
The Erasmus Policy Statement reflects several key objectives of KPU’s international cooperation. These objectives include improving the quality of education, supporting mobility, developing academic and administrative staff, strengthening intercultural dialogue and building cooperation with partner institutions abroad.
The Erasmus Policy Statement is a strategic document describing how Kujawy and Pomorze University in Bydgoszcz supports Erasmus+ priorities, mobility, international cooperation, recognition of learning outcomes and equal access to academic opportunities.
