The JU International Visitors’ Office is a point of contact for internationally mobile researchers and academics as well as their families and their host institution. Its team provides professional information, advice and support for guests in preparation for and throughout their stay at the JU. They work closely with various units and institutions within and outside the JU to ensure that all guests benefit from coordinated services and feel welcome at the JU.

The Jagiellonian University is the number one destination for students participating in the Erasmus+ exchange programme. We accept exchange students from more than 40 countries through the programme into courses offer by all of our Faculties and Institutes. Erasmus+ student exchange programme is managed by the JU International Students Office.

The JU International Relations Office is responsible for supporting activities related to initiating and co-ordinating international collaboration of the Jagiellonian University with universities and research institutions throughout the world within numerous schemes: bilateral agreements involving faculty and student exchange, Erasmus+ and SYLFF, educational grants and scholarships as well as networks. It also serves as a point of contact for international visitors.

The JU International Students Office specializes in the administrative service of students who come to study at the JU from outside of Poland, scholarship holders, and beneficiaries of international exchange programmes. They assist students in all things international, including Erasmus+ programme, bilateral agreements, CEEPUS, Utrecht Network, Visegrad Fund and many more.

Erasmus+ is the EU programme for education, training, youth and sport. Many of the initiatives are based on opportunities for students and recent graduates, but funding is also available to help teachers, lecturers and non-academic staff develop their skills in partner universities, colleges and adult education environments around Europe – through job shadowing, teaching and training activities. The Jagiellonian University has exchange agreements with over 600 universities throughout and outside Europe which enables staff from partner institutions to visit JU and learn more about how we operate. As part of the Programme each year International Relations Office organizes Erasmus+ Staff Training Week - an event intended for officers at the central or departmental level dealing with international relations, promotion, marketing or other foreign affairs during which participants have the opportunity to exchange best practices and ideas in the field of internationalization.
