Erasmus +
The Erasmus + program for higher education contributes to the creation of a European Higher Education project by pursuing several objectives, including:
- the improvement of quality, and strengthening, of the European dimension of higher education;
- the increase in mobility of students, teachers and academic staff;
- the strengthening of multilateral cooperation ;
- the transparency and recognition of acquired qualifications;
- the internationalization of European higher education institutions.
The program promotes mobility activities in Europe and abroad for students (periods of study or internships), teaching staff, and all staff of higher education institutions.
It also facilitates partnership actions through cooperation projects, knowledge alliances or capacity building projects, as well as joint Master programs.
TBS Education, through its pre-experience training programs, is very much part of this ambitious scheme.
In order to graduate, all students must validate an international experience either by studying abroad in a foreign university or by an interning abroad. This experience is an integral part of your academic curriculum at TBS Education. A strong professional and international experience while at TBS Education will build up your resume and act as a spring board, jump starting your professional career.
It should be noted that there are a limited number of scholarships granted annually by the European Commission. Erasmus grants are allocated in accordance with the amount available. TBSE reserves the right to finance partially students mobilities.
Here you will find information about mobility studies or internships within the framework of the Erasmus + program.
- We also invite you to visit the Erasmus+ Generation+: http://www.generation-erasmus.fr/
TBS Education advises students to anticipate, think and develop their international project. To do this, members of the International Mobility Service and the Career Center are at your disposal to answer any questions you may have and to assist you in your study abroad or international internship project (remember you must make an appointment).
