4. The student chooses a country and university for which he will apply. The choice will be made according to the student’s linguistic competencies and according to the curricula of the host university which must be compatible with the curricula of the study programme the student is attending at FEAA. We recommend you to consider this in order to be able to equate the credits and marks when retuning from the mobility.

9. The student comes to the interview which will be conducted in the language of the chosen study programme. It aims at observing the motivation, the academic aspects etc.
10. The student checks the results on FEAA’s website or at the Office of International Relations, FEAA, he/she will go in due time to the Department of International Relations to fill in all the necessary forms (financial contract, learning agreement) and he/she will contact the representatives of the faculty to which he/she applied for an Erasmus scholarship. The forms are available on the website of the Department of International Relations.
11. The student completes the file in the given period, and he/she takes it to the West University of Timisoara, at the Department of International Relations.
