Erasmus

The School of Primary Education has a strong international dimension. It participates actively in various forms of student-and-staff-exchange programmes (Erasmus+ Studies & Traineeships, Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme & Erasmus Mundus), offering opportunities to students and staff through the various mobility programmes for skills and knowledge gain, potential career opportunities, and personal growth.

Each year the Faculty of Education at Aristotle University receives many students from a wide range of European and International universities and sends out even more. The School has currently active 15 bilateral agreements and participates in the various Erasmus+ international agreements of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh).

The School of Primary Education offers each year a certain number of courses conducted in English, which are only available for Erasmus+ students.

In all other courses offered by the School of Primary Education, teaching is conducted in Greek. Incoming Erasmus+ students who might not be competent in Greek also have the option to study relevant topics of the selected courses and evaluate them through written assignments in English or through special projects. All students are welcome to participate in classes actively.

Furthermore, students may take Modern Greek Language lessons while they study in AUTh and obtain ECTS credits for these courses. Students can contact The School of Modern Greek Language at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki for information on how to apply.

Before finalizing the Learning Agreement, all students are warmly advised to contact the relevant faculty members to have an in-person course description and discuss any special arrangements.

The approved Learning Agreement is a preliminary confirmation from the student’s home University that he/she has English language knowledge up to European Language Framework level B2 or higher. Even if he/she has such a certification, students must consider whether they can operate adequately in English to fulfil their academic obligations through the Erasmus+ scheme.

In all cases, students are expected to seek advice from the academic advisor of the sending University regarding accreditation of the chosen courses. The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the School of Primary Education cannot accept responsibility for the accreditation of any of its courses by the student’s home University.

The selection procedures usually take place in the spring semester. For more information, please contact the individual coordinator in the programme of your choice or visit https://www.eurep.auth.gr/index.php?lang=en.

For more details on the application process for incoming students, the required documents, deadlines for submitting the Learning Agreement (LA), and any additional steps that need to be taken to participate in the programme, students should contact both their academic supervisor in the sending institution as well as the administrative staff at the Department of European Educational Programmes at the Aristotle University.
