Intensive weeks

As a LAB degree student, you have a chance to gain international experience by participating in short mobility periods abroad even in the first year of your studies. Short mobilities, also known as intensive weeks, are a great opportunity for you to gain knowledge in a multicultural environment.

By taking part in these intensive weeks, you can compensate some of your compulsory studies and/or advanced studies. And on top of that gain international experience! All LAB degree students can apply, and participants are chosen based on the course contents and objectives. 

Some intensive weeks, usually lasting from 5 to 10 days, are designed together with LAB partner universities and networks around the world. If the short mobility period is an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme, the student participating in it will be awarded an Erasmus+ grant to cover some of the costs of travelling and accommodation. Learn more about the Erasmus+ programme and the principles of the programme.

Other options might be summer schools or other short mobilities that the partner institution organises themselves and invites students around the world to join in. In some cases, there might be a possibility the school or network to cover some of the expenses, but the principle is that students are responsible of paying the expenses of travelling and accommodation themselves.

The intensive weeks have been divided in the following categories:

  1. Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) organised at LAB
  2. Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) organised at LAB’s partner institutions
  3. Other intensive weeks
