Incoming Students

How to apply

Students must first apply for exchange mobility at their home university, which is responsible for sending a nomination email to UNWE with the student’s information and contact details. Applicants must be students from UNWE partner universities.

Exchange students may participate in one or two semester mobility, depending on the agreement between their home university and UNWE.

To complete the application process, students must submit an Application Form via email to erasmus.incoming@unwe.bg.

Application deadlines:

• 30 June – for the winter semester or full academic year
• 30 November – for the summer semester

Courses must be selected from the list of courses offered in English. Some changes may occur upon arrival, as certain courses are optional. The final list of available courses is usually published 1 week before the start of lectures.

Online Learning Agreement (OLA)

The Erasmus+ exchange students coming to UNWE have to prepare an Online Learning agreement (OLA). The Online Learning agreement (OLA) is a compulsory document for all Erasmus students and contains the list of courses that the students intend to study at UNWE. The OLA has to be signed and approved before the mobility period. 

Attention! If you are a student from non-EU countries you will have to prepare a Learning agreement. The document should be signed by all three parties and send by mail before the start of the mobility.

How to prepare and approve your OLA

1. Register to Online Learning Agreement through https://www.learning-agreement.eu/ or with Erasmus+ App. After you have registered, you have the same login username and password for both the portal and Erasmus+ app.

2. Follow the instructions in the portal to complete your OLA and sign it online.

3. Your home university will automatically receive a notification by e-mail to verify and sign your OLA once you have signed it.

4. We (UNWE) will receive an automatic notification by e-mail to verify and sign your OLA once your home university has signed it.

5. Once UNWE has signed it, your OLA is complete. You will receive an automatic email notification informing that the document is ready.

How to fill the OLA - step by step guide here.

In order to prepare the OLA you have to choose subjects from the List of courses offered in English. The list of courses can be found below.

Changes to your OLA

If you need to make changes to your OLA after it has been signed by all parties, you can log in and do so through https://www.learning-agreement.eu/ or with Erasmus+ App. Once all changes are complete the document need to be signed again.  

It is also possible to adjust the OLA during the mobility period. Delete courses you are no longer taking and/or add new courses in the same way as when you created the OLA.

Courses taught in English

All incoming students can choose their courses from the following LIST.

UNWE offers courses in English in the field of Political Sciences and International Relations if relevant for the current academic year.

The courses listed are suitable for both bachelor and master degree students.

KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME OF THE COURSES ARE OPTIONAL AND THEY MIGHT NOT BE

AVAILABLE UPON ARRIVAL! 

THE FINAL LIST AND SCHEDULE OF ALL AVAILABLE OPEN COURSES WILL BE SENT TO ALL INCOMING STUDENTS THE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL START OF THE CORRESPONDING SEMESTER.
