The ERASMUS+ program
Founded in 1987, Erasmus is a student mobility program which allows those who desire to do 3 months to 1 year of their studies abroad, within a member country of the program. Each student must then validate 30 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) for 1 semester and 60 ECTS for 1 year. These ECTSs will be recognized by the university sending the student.
