Participation in an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)
A Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is a short-term programme delivered in a blended learning format. By taking part in a BIP, students have the opportunity to enrol on a specialist course that combines a virtual component with a short period of study abroad (min. 5 to max. 14 days). BIPs 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. The HNU Examinations Office will clarify the recognition of credits prior to the mobility period. Before applying for a BIP, please contact the HNU International Office. We will then check whether participation can be financially supported through Erasmus+ (participation in a maximum of 1 BIP per study period is possible).

You can find an overview of current BIPs in our Moodle course Serviceangebot IO (opens in a new window).

Would you like to spend a semester abroad at one of HNU’s partner universities?

Funding your semester abroad may be easier than you think. A wide range of scholarship opportunities is available, including options that are open to all students, not just those with outstanding academic records.

• In addition, other academic achievements may also be recognised.
• Before your semester abroad, submit a preliminary application for the recognition of examination results.
