International Credit Mobility (ICM) projects aim to help individual participants acquire skills, to support their professional development, and to deepen their understanding of other cultures. They also aim to increase the capacities, the attractiveness and the international dimension of the organisations taking part.
Participation in ICM strengthens the ties between higher education institutions and gives them the opportunity to increase their visibility at both local and global levels. Incoming and outgoing students alike are ready to share their positive experiences of studying at the host institution. Staff benefit too: they acquire new competences for their professional development, improve their language skills and learn about new teaching methods. A key finding of the Erasmus Impact Study is that taking part in Erasmus+ boosts a graduate’s employability and transversal skills — so the impact reaches the whole university, from the personal development of students and staff to the employability of its graduates.
Our mission
The Hellenic Mediterranean University has in its mission to promote cooperation with other universities, higher education institutions and research centres in Europe and worldwide. The mobility of students and staff helps build stronger higher education and research in a country, and contributes to the realisation of the European Higher Education and Research Area.
Internationalisation policy
The internationalisation policy of HMU is based on the following axes:
- To import know-how and best practices in research, technology and education from technologically developed countries.
- To export know-how and best practices to developing countries.</li>
- To promote relations based on countries being good neighbours, and on countries with a common historical and cultural heritage.
Our internationalisation strategy moves in two directions: strengthening cooperation with European universities within Erasmus and the other research and operational programmes, and expanding our partnerships with universities in countries situated in our vicinity. We are therefore particularly looking for partner universities in the Western Balkans, the Eastern Neighbourhood and the South-Mediterranean countries.
