The University of Tartu (UT) has been participating in the European Community higher education programme Erasmus since 1999. The programme has opened a great opportunity to widen transnational co-operation between higher education institutions by promoting mobility for students and teaching staff, and improving transparency and academic recognition of studies and qualifications throughout Europe. European universities enter into Erasmus agreements on the level of faculties, departments, institutes and other academic units. UT was awarded with the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education under the Erasmus+ Programme, selection year 2014. Please also see our Erasmus Policy Statement (EPS).
