Frequently Asked Questions

A Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is a short-term international learning experience that combines a short physical mobility (typically 5 days, but with the possibility of lasting up to 30 days) with a virtual learning component before, during or after the physical mobility. Unlike a regular Erasmus mobility (which usually lasts several months), BIPs are shorter, more flexible, and focused on intensive, collaborative learning.

A BIP typically includes several weeks of online activities followed by a short physical mobility of typically 5 days, but with the possibility of lasting up to 30 days, at a partner university.

Yes. Participation in both the virtual and physical components is mandatory. You must complete both parts in order to receive ECTS credits and Erasmus+ funding .

Yes. Students at all levels — short cycle, Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral — can apply. Some BIPs are open to all levels, while others may target specific study cycles. Please check each BIP for more details.

It depends on the BIP. Some programmes are open to all disciplines (transversal), while others require a specific academic background. You should check the eligibility criteria for each BIP before applying.

Yes, you may apply for multiple BIPs, depending on your university’s rules. However, you will typically only participate in one BIP at a time, depending on selection results and scheduling compatibility.

Selection timelines vary by university. Your home institution will inform you directly once the selection process is completed.
