Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme

(opens in a new window)

A Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is a short-term programme in blended learning format. By participating in a BIP, students have the opportunity to take a specialised course that combines a virtual component with a short period of mobility abroad (min. 5 to max. 14 days). BIP are offered in cooperation with our European partner universities. Depending on the content of the BIP, participants can earn between 3 and 5 ECTS credits. Clarification of recognition takes place before the mobility with the HNU Examination Department. Before applying for a BIP, please contact the HNU International Office. We will then check whether participation can be financially supported via Erasmus+ (participation in max. 1 BIP / study cycle possible).
