Every student of the department must complete a compulsory stay abroad in an English-speaking country. The aim of your stay abroad is to improve your language skills and help you study and work more independently. To have your stay approved and earn ECTS, you must to study and/or work abroad. We encourage travelling before and after your stay abroad, but unfortunately we cannot grant you ECTS points for this.
