Application requirements

Students who wish to participate in the long-term blended mobility programmes under the MOSAIC project must be over 18 years old and apply through open calls of their schools. These calls will clearly state the number of available places and the evaluation criteria. Each participating school is responsible for carrying out the selection autonomously, based on its internal procedures. Priority may be given to students who demonstrate motivation, readiness to engage in intercultural learning, and alignment with the learning objectives of the specific study programme. This type of mobility has a stronger component of work based learning.
