Kozminski University joined the Socrates-Erasmus program in 1999. During the previous 12 years hundreds of students used the opportunity to spend a semester abroad in one of our cooperating universities.

Internationalization, and especially actions related to the Erasmus program, are and always will be an important part of Kozminski University development strategy. Our mission in the field of international student exchange is allowing our students to compete on the international market, respond to the requirements of globalization and facilitate the creation of a platform to exchange ideas and experiences between the East and the West. Our priority was always to facilitate intercultural dialogue, student and faculty mobility and create modern educational program in accordance with market needs.

The goals we have set out in the context of Lifelong Education Program are as follows:

• Mobility development
• Improvement of organization of our international actions
• Enforcing cooperation with some international partners, which will lead to offering joint programs and research and offering double diplomas.
• Further support for international faculty exchange
• Broadening and developing cooperation with renown academic institutions in the world
• Improving the university’s infrastructure to provide infrastructure for handicapped persons
• Versatile approach to the internationalization for the university in order to promote tolerance for different races, religions and origins.
• Increasing the presence of Kozminski University in different networks and joint projects
• Increasing the number of students of non-business programs traveling for an exchange program
• Further development of the „English Track” in order to provide more programs in English and increase the attractiveness of courses and awareness of Kozminski University on an international market.

The strategy of our University for years 2007-2013 includes the development of Erasmus program and Lifelong Education Program.

High quality of student mobility services is visible through the following aspects of Kozminski University activity:
