During all this time, our institution has continued to increase and improve its operational capacity to take part in more and more Erasmus Programme activities such as learning and teaching individual mobilities and cooperation for innovation and good practices. Erasmus Office is a department integrated in the management of the quality of university education with activities of the Erasmus + KA103 and KA107 projects of individual mobility for students, professors and staff.

The university will develop strategic partnerships with universities, enterprises of all sizes, centres of innovation and research entities, to implement international projects that will stimulate innovation, good practices, concurrency and creativity in teaching and learning
The university promotes equality and non-discrimination policies, pointing out that students with limited opportunities can receive additional support. Two of our most important values are: intercultural cooperation and respect for social and cultural diversity this is why we concentrate on developing transnational teaching activities.
We will further develop and implement the new ECHE principles by:
Ensuring full and equitable access to participants from all backgrounds paying particular attention to those with fewer opportunities, we offer extensive help and we facilitate processes for students with fewer opportunities;
Continue to develop a well explained methodology for allocating ECS credits and grading system, we already give a full explanation/ methodology of our grading system, conversion and recognition of grades an ECTS, sent in a fact sheet every semester to our partners;
Putting measures in place to implement the European student card initiative and continuing to promote the programs Erasmus plus mobile app to students, we currently support students to use the mobile application in order to facilitate the course of the mobility;

After a fifteen years’ experience working with Erasmus projects, taking into account the international monitoring results of European and international mobility and cooperation activities we want to explore new creative and improved international exchange policies.
High-quality implementation is expected to ensure Erasmus Programme will be effective mostly when its mobility results are being disseminated therefor extending the impact of the project, assuring continuation and extension.
Quality assurance measures are taken and will be taken by our HEI as stated in our rector’s Declaration of Quality Policy: training and awareness of staff on quality management and internal/managerial control standards; creating an organizational culture based on the concept of evaluation; constant evaluation of the curriculum, professor’s quality and sufficiency for covering teaching programs, promotion and as well collegial evaluation of professors and professors by students.
