It is very successful and it has become emblematic and turned into a symbol of the European integration. The aim is to attract more students to take advantage of the opportunity for intercultural exchange. Erasmus+ Programme is an investment in knowledge and we as a university strive to develop mobility activities because it adds value to the learning experience for young people".

The Erasmus+ Programme Open Doors Day event is initiated by the European Commission. “We want to bring the Erasmus+ Programme to the attention of young people who have been in online learning for a long time and to present them what the Programme provides. The deadline for undergraduates and Doctoral students to apply on the Erasmus+ Programme is 16 October. At the moment 56 students from the UNWE are on mobility under the Programme, and the number of foreign students who has come to the University is 65 and the largest part of them are French. Bulgarian students most often prefer to implement mobility in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland and the Czech Republic", said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kamelia Assenova and outlined: "Erasmus+ Programme gives you the opportunity not only to study, but to communicate with your colleagues from other countries, to travel in the interesting company of your peers, to explore new places and to make unforgettable memories. The advantage of these mobility is that it allows you to travel and explore many places in an easy and inexpensive way".

"Of course, continuing your studies is the main purpose of mobility on the Erasmus+ Programme. It will give you the opportunity to add to your knowledge and skills acquired at UNWE, to compare the subjects and the ways of teaching and assessment at our university with other universities and to choose even those courses that still miss here and you want to pursue a career in this particular field. If you want to work in the future for a big company and have a good salary, the student mobility on the Erasmus+ Programme is for you", added Assoc. Prof. Assenova.
