This section will help you to understand some of the most important administrative and procedural aspects of your mobility before you depart.

This includes the roles and responsibilities of your contact points at home and at your host university, student services available to you, essential mobility-related procedures, and assistance for students with disabilities or additional educational needs. This will give you a greater understanding of how to prepare for your mobility.

Roles and responsibilities of contact points

First of all, organising the practical elements of your study abroad experience can be stressful.
