ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Academic mobility under the Free Mover program refers to students at higher education institutions currently enrolled to undergraduate-level (bachelor’s), graduate-level (master’s), and postgraduate-level (PhD) programmes, willing to relocate for one semester or one academic year to Kozminski University in order to continue their original academic programme or to take certain specific courses.
Kozminski University offers the same opportunities as those offered to exchange students; details are available at: https://www.kozminski.edu.pl/pl/spolecznosc/incoming-students in the programmes and course catalogues.
FREE MOVER PROGRAMME DETAILS
The Mobility Regulations for Free Movers at KU provide for an option of an academic mobility stay offered to students from higher education institutions that do not have a signed agreement with KU, or if a partner higher education institution has already reached the quota limit mentioned in the signed agreement.
This type of academic mobility does not require any agreement for student mobility between KU and the home university of the student, so Free Mover students are students who participate in mobility on their own initiative, while exchange programme students take advantage of mobility programmes at their home universities.
Free Mover students are students who travel entirely on their own initiative, while exchange programme students take advantage of exchange programmes at their home universities, benefitting from scholarships financed from Erasmus, Nordplus, EEA funds and the like.
Free Mover students will have to cover the fees at KU in order to attend their courses in the same way as the rest of the exchange students. Therefore, they will have to submit an Application Package.
Free Movers have the same rights as exchange students, but they are not considered Erasmus students.
Participating in the Free Mover programme does not give programme participants the right to obtain a KU diploma.
Students can apply to take part in the Free Mover programme for fall and spring semesters.
PROCEDURE
Students willing to take part in the Free Mobility programme should contact the Incoming Students Coordinator at the International Relations Office of KU: [email protected]
Students should specify the cycle (level), the field of study, and the semester they wish to pursue.
The Incoming Students Coordinator checks the possibility and provides the student with information about the decision.
The student has to submit their Application Package after they obtain a positive decision.
PAYMENT
The tuition fee is PLN 500 for 1 ECTS credit.
One course, depending on the number of ECTS credits, will cost PLN 500 multiplied by the number of ECTS credits obtained for the course (if the course is 3 ECTS, its cost is 3x500 = PLN 1500)
