Capacity Limitations

MAICh is able to accept a maximum of 25 Erasmus students during the academic year (October- June) due to postgraduate class size limitations.

This poses some limitations on the number of Erasmus students accepted per institutional agreement.

Requirements

Eligible students are either at:

  • Postgraduate level. Four-year graduation degree from any institution and acceptance for a postgraduate degree at home institution. Submission of the degree and academic transcript officially translated into English.
  • Final undergraduate year at home institution. Submission of academic transcripts officially translated into English.

Students should be competent in the English language. Given that courses are held in English at MAICh, it is strongly advised that the home ECTS ERASMUS Coordinator take into particular consideration the English language skills of the potential Erasmus student.

Erasmus Student Study Programme

Three study options are available for ERASMUS Exchange Students:

  1. Attendance of the academic coursework programme which runs from October to June.
  2. Project work under the supervision of research scientists at the Institute provided that they submit a well documented proposal and that research scientists at MAICh are available to undertake the proposed guided independent study.
  3. Continuous Professional Development. Upon award of the ECTS label and the approval of a lifelong learning grant, the Institute would increase access for Continuous Professional Development.
