Blended Intensive Programmes
Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) combine online learning with a short study period abroad, offering you flexible, international experience - and a possiblity for exchange studies over a short period of time (usually a week abroad). These programs foster global connections, hands-on learning, and international teamwork. And you have the possibilty to get financial support through the Erasmus+ programme.
BIPs within STARS EU
University West is part of the STARS EU European University Alliance, where we together with our 8 partner universities across Europe aim to promote short blended mobilities, as they offer all students – regardless of their study programme – the chance to gain international experience, develop new skills, and connect across borders. These opportunities make mobility more accessible, inclusive, and flexible for everyone.
The number of seats for each BIP is limited, and for this reason you need to apply to Univeristy West for the course you wish to take - and it is also through this application you apply for scholarship from the Erasmus+ programme at the same time. You find the link for application at the bottom of this page.
Please note that you can be accepted to one BIP during your programme studies here at University West only.
APPLICATION FOR BIP
Application periods for BIP
Autumn Semester
- 30 September
- 15 November
Spring Semester
- 15 February
- 15 April
As BIP courses are offered throughout the year and published on a regular basis, you need to apply well in advance for the BIP you wish to participate in.
We recommend applying at least one month before the course starts (usually with a virtual component). In addition, there should be at least two months remaining before the physical mobility period at the time of application, as we cannot guarantee that admitted students will receive their grant funding in time if the application is submitted later than this.
