  • Grounded motivation for taking part in mobility under the Erasmus+ programme related to professional development (from 0 to 4 points. Criterion importance coefficient – 3);
  • Number of mobility participations under the Erasmus+ programme (1st participation – 4 points, 2nd participation – 2 points, 3rd and more participations – 0 points. Criterion importance factor – 3);
  • Number of participations in the selected institution (1st participation – 4 points, 2nd participation – 2 points, 3rd and more participations – 0 points. Factor of importance of the criterion – 2);
  • Average academic score (5.50-6.00 – 4 points, 00-5.49- 3 points, 4.49-4.99 – 2 points, 4.00-4.49 – 1 point. Criterion importance factor – 2);
  • Carrying out mobility in the country of origin (outside the country of origin – 4 points, in the country of origin – 0 points. Factor of importance of the criterion – 1);

A procedure for selecting candidates for participation in outgoing learning mobility is set at least once or until the funds allocated for the academic year are used up.

The procedure for selecting candidates for participation in learning mobility includes screening documents and interviewing applicants in the language in which the mobility will take place.

The ranking of students is carried out on the basis of candidate evaluation criteria and the results obtained according to the evaluation card of candidates for participation in learning mobility under the Programme.

If the candidate has 1 point under criterion 1 “Proficiency in the language in which the training will take place at the host institution” he/she is not qualified to participate in student learning mobility. In this case, the weighting factor of the criterion is not taken into account.

The student who received the highest number of points in accordance with the evaluation card for participating in student learning mobility under the Programme is ranked first. The remaining candidates are ranked in descending order.

In the event of an equal number of points, the candidate with a higher average grade is ranked higher.

The ranking of candidates is carried out up to the number of funds for which VFU has received for the relevant academic year. Candidates who are put in stand by have the right to carry out learning mobility as “zero grant” students. These students can receive an Erasmus grant in the event that one of the selected students refuses to participate in student mobility or if additional funds are available.

The ranked students retain their position according to the evaluation card of the applicants for participation in student learning mobility but according to the number of mobilities stipulated in the inter-institutional agreement they can be ranked according to their next desire (which is indicated in the student’s application form).

The list of approved students, students on stand by and students rejected by the exam board is published on the website of the Programme in the News section.

Within one week of the publication of the results on the website of the Programme, the student must confirm or refuse participation in the Programme in a written form.

The field of study of the selected students should correspond to the field of knowledge in which the learning will take place. In the event that the students’ field  does not correspond to the field of knowledge for which the inter-institutional agreement was concluded, coordination with the relevant faculty ECTS-coordinator is necessary.
