About the Erasmus+ programme
One of the most important goals of international cooperation for Bernays is the establishment of long-term strategic partnerships with other universities and key stakeholders. When concluding international agreements, Bernays particularly encourages strategic partnerships with higher education institutions in countries participating in the Erasmus+ programme.
The Erasmus+ programme is aimed at strengthening the knowledge and skills and employability of European citizens, as well as improving education, training and work in the field of youth and sports. Erasmus+ was designed with the aim of contributing to the development of Europe as an advanced knowledge society, and in order to achieve this goal, Erasmus promotes the strengthening of the European area of higher education, increasing the mobility of students and teaching staff, strengthening cooperation between higher education institutions in Europe, strengthening cooperation between the economic and educational sectors, and increasing levels of transparency and compatibility of qualifications in higher education.
Academic mobility encouraged through Erasmus provides an individual with the experience of studying, working and living in a different academic, cultural and social environment. As a result, mobile people increase their opportunities for employment and competitiveness in the labor market.
Mobility within the Erasmus+ programme is realized exclusively on the basis of inter-institutional agreements between higher education institutions, which must be holders of the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education, and may include a study mobility / mobility traineeship - for students, teaching - for teaching staff, and training - for teaching and non-teaching staff.
In December 2014, the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) granted the Edward Bernays College of Communication Management a university charter (Erasmus University Charter - 270315-EPP-1-2015-1- HR-EPPKA3-ECHE; ERASMUS ID: HR ZAGREB23) by which Bernays officially became part of the international Erasmus family.
