Academic Mobility

External academic mobility programs provide an opportunity for students to gain invaluable international experience in the educational field, expand their professional skills, gain experience in studying in international culture and gain useful language practice. External academic mobility programs are of two main types: incoming and outgoing.

Incoming external academic mobility - students from foreign partner universities are sent to KATU for training for one or two academic trimesters with the transfer of the studied disciplines.

Outgoing external academic mobility - KATU students are sent to a foreign partner university to study for one academic semester with the transfer of the studied disciplines.
