Over the five days, they will get to know the services available to foreign students, and different parts of the campus, like the Physical Activity Service (SAF), the UAB Research Park, the libraries, the Students and Culture Unit (ETC), the Vila Universitària student village and the Language Service. They will also visit the Faculty of Education and learn about the Study Abroad programme.

PAS Mobility

The Erasmus Staff Mobility programme enables university staff to spend periods of training at other European universities. The aim is for European universities to share experiences and open the way to further collaboration, thus consolidating the European Higher Education Area.

The Erasmus Staff Mobility programme allows staff from different countries to compare organisational systems, experiences and practices with the aim of improving workplace structures and methods. The training periods can involve workshops and seminars, courses, shadowing, etc. In this context, the UAB has organised the Erasmus Staff Week for the sixth year running.
