BLENDED INTENSIVE PROGRAMME

A Blended Intensive Program is a combination of physical mobility and a virtual component that brings together students and teachers from different countries and fields of study and is intended to promote exchange and cooperation.

If you are interested in organizing a BIP, please contact the International Office in advance.
