International USC

The educational policy defined by the USC aims to make available our knowledge and foster collaboration and exchanges via international and national programmes that enable students to study at the university, and groups to undertake visits and to participate in and communicate at different events. To foster such exchanges, stable contacts have been established with international organizations, educational institutions throughout the world, non-profit making organizations, businesses and social organizations, who all share the same ideas as regards international mobility.

In response to the interest expressed by the university community, the Vice-rectorate has acquired resources to meet the needs of all university members, and supports the initiatives of all of those who wish to participate. These resources and opportunities are offered within an extensive set of programmes, which become wider every year. The Vice-rectorate for International Policies also coordinates and establishes the appropriate structures via its services and collaborates with other Vice-rectorates to sustain these initiatives.

This specific web page denominated International USC is a space for communication and support, and provides all of the information about the various programmes required to enable interested candidates to choose between the various offers.
