Jagiellonian University was founded in 1364 by the Polish king Casimir the Great and is one of the most innovative universities in Europe. The university offers a wide range of undergraduate, master's and doctoral studies, 94 study programs and 158 specializations with a total number of approximately 40,000 students. The cooperation agreement that our university recently established with Jagiellonian University offers the possibility to teachers and students of Philology, to implement teaching mobility, respectively transnational study mobility financed by the Erasmus + programme.

The internationalization is a constant concern of UAB academic community, so between 06.12.2021-10.12.2021, a new step was taken in this direction, that of developing strategic partnerships with various research and education institutions.

Beyond the dimension of international mobility of UAB students and researchers, these partnerships are also intended to establish relations with the economic, social, or cultural environment. We consider that the main beneficiary of the efforts made by UAB in the direction of internationalization is the student, who has the possibility to become part of a global ecosystem, meant to professionally prepare him to perform on an increasingly complex and dynamic market.
