The Department of Environment of the Ionian University participates in the ERASMUS+ Programme; participation extends to the Postgraduate Study Programmes offered by the Department either autonomously or with coordinating responsibility. Within ERASMUS +, students are provided with the opportunity to undertake studies for one to two semesters at universities within the European Union and to benefit from academic curricula offered by Institutions of Higher Education abroad, as well as acquire skills related to language acquisition, cultural familiarization and relevant educational experiences. In this context, students enrolled in the Joint Postgraduate Studies Program (J.P.S.P.) titled “New Technologies in Environmental Education and Sustainable Development,” are afforded the opportunity to acquire advanced specialization, a broadened academic perspective and international experience, qualifications that are expected to be particularly beneficial for their subsequent professional and/or academic advancement.

The period of study undertaken abroad is fully and formally recognized. Student mobility may include attendance of taught course units, the preparation of the postgraduate diploma thesis or participation in an internship. Students are required to select courses corresponding to an equivalent academic workload, expressed in European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, to that of the J.P.S.P. during the respective semester of mobility. Furthermore, students are obliged to attend the selected courses at the host institution and to participate in required assessment procedures. Courses successfully completed are formally recognized and replace corresponding courses of the J.P.S.P. through the transfer of ECTS credits, in accordance with the national qualifications framework and the approved Postgraduate Programme of Studies.
