Erasmus BIP at the h_da

Process

  1. Applying to get the funding for the BIP by the deadlines (15 July for the summer semester of the following academic year / 15 January for the winter semester of the following academic year); Application link

  2. The International Office reviews the applications in collaboration with a selection committee comprising professors, and the departments are then informed as to whether participation in the BIP can be funded through Erasmus+ grants.
  3. The International Office concludes the contractual agreement with the participating universities in the BIP. The ECTS number and the number of students that the universities will send to the organizing institution of the BIP (h_da) are recorded here. 
  4. The department designs the teaching unit together with the cooperating universities and sets the corresponding dates.
  5. The organizing department of the h_da organizes the attendance week, i.e. the academic part as well as the leisure program. The International Office provides advice and experience. A student assistant, who supports the department in the implementation, can be financed specifically for the BIP via Erasmus+ funds.
    The department is responsible for the following tasks: Room booking, creation of Moodle course as well as Moodle accesses for the participants, organization of the introductory and closing event including catering and creation of the leisure program. A detailed list of tasks - especially for the student assistant - can be obtained from the International Office.
  6. The partner universities participating in the BIP recruit the participants and send the names to the International Office of h_da by the agreed deadline. The program begins with the start of the virtual component or the face-to-face unit - depending on which takes place first.
    In order for the program to count as a BIP and be funded by Erasmus+ funds, 15 mobile participants (h_da students do not count here!) and more must participate. 
  7. The International Office coordinates the students' application for the BIP as well as all other necessary formalities for Erasmus mobility. 
  8. Follow-up: Up to 4 weeks after the end of the evaluation of the BIP by the IO, and the preparation of the Transcript of Records for the mobile participants by the department.
