Do you want to take part in an innovative European learning experience? Applications are open to students of CHARM-EU universities who want to expand their academic portfolio with online courses from other CHARM-EU partners.

What is CHARM-EU?

CHARM-EU is a European University alliance, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, between University of Barcelona (coordinator), Trinity College Dublin, Utrecht University, University of Montpellier,  Eötvös Loránd University Budapest, Åbo Akademi University, Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg, Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences and University of Bergen. At CHARM-EU, we work together to design and create a new university model to become a world example of good practice to increase the quality, international competitiveness, and attractiveness of the European Higher Education landscape.

CHARM-EU represents a Challenge-Driven, Accessible, Research-based and Mobile model for the co-creation of a European University aligned with the European Values, the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). See further details about CHARM-EU here: https://charm-eu.eu/

What is the CHARM-EU transnational online catalogue?

CHARM-EU Universities provide access to some of their hybrid or online courses for the students at the partner universities and facilitate transnational online learning activities. This way, you will get first-hand transnational experience without physical mobility.

What are the benefits for me?

• Take part in a global learning experience by studying with students from other countries, backgrounds and disciplines.
• Gain experience and enhance your intercultural competencies through international collaboration and connect with other students from around Europe.
• Participate in online courses that offer the flexibility to attend from your own home or university.
• Earn credits and enhance your academic portfolio in exciting and innovative courses.
• Get access to courses that are not available at your home institution.
• Increase your future career opportunities by improving your skills and competencies in key areas of employment need.
• Learn from acknowledged professors and lecturers from prestigious universities of the CHARM-EU Alliance.
• Experience learning online at a CHARM-EU alliance university as a potential stepping stone to future physical mobility.

What types of courses are offered?

The majority of the courses in this call are accredited as a core or as an elective course in a Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctoral programme at the advertising university. For most of the courses, students can earn ECTS (see further details below). Also, the courses

• are delivered in English and French
• are either fully online (all students are online) or hybrid (regular students attend classes in person, virtual exchange students attend classes online at the same time)
• are delivered either synchronously or asynchronously
• are in most cases interactive (students have an opportunity to interact with the course materials, the instructor, and the other students in the class, for example, during international group projects, Moodle forums or breakout rooms).

Who can apply?

• If you are a Bachelor’s, Master’s student or Doctoral candidate at one of the CHARM-EU universities.
  • If your background and experience (e.g. language attainment level where relevant) align with the requirements of the course.

If you are ready for an international university challenge and interested in becoming an international student, you are a perfect candidate to apply!
