UPVM has been participating to the Erasmus programme since its launch in 1987.Historically, the university has always counted a high proportion of international students, representing around 1/5th of the overall student population.Internationalization has naturally always been at the heart of the university's global strategy.The Erasmus+ programme allows the university to meet the expectations of the students in terms of studies, as well as the expectations of staff members in the framework of mobilities for training and for teaching.Through the academic year 2016/17, UPVM has organized the mobility of 239 members of the institution, which includes 213 students and 26 staff members.Among students, 170 have achieved a mobility for studies, and 43 have achieved a mobility for traineeships.Around 55% of the students who participated in the programme also received a national grant given on social criteria.Among staff members, 23 have achieved staff mobility for teaching and 3 have achieved a staff mobility for training.Among the most obvious impacts of the programme, we may quote:- The development of personal competences known as cross-curricular, allowing students to understand their training and their future career with more maturity.- Deepening the professional competence of staff that has completed training mobility.- The strengthening of cooperation with partner universities, noted by staff that carried out educational mobility.Finally, the participation to the programme has allowed the whole UPVM community to continually seek to improve the quality of the training offered by the university and to respond continuously more accurately to the problems arising from the significant proportion of international students welcomed at the university.In the same time, the administrative procedures have been made more effective every year, which has allowed the university to optimize the support to outgoing and incoming students.
