    K1: Learning Mobility of Individuals

    Mobility program for HEI students and academic/administrative staff. Mobility programs are organized within the framework of the Inter-Institutional Agreement signed between the universities of Georgia (non-associated/partner countries*) and Europe (associated/program countries*).

    Mobility directions and amounts depend on the agreement between the universities.

    Calls for each mobility/exchange program are announced separately. Information about the application is distributed through the university's corporate e-mail, website, social media pages. After the deadline for sending the application, the candidates are evaluated by a specially created commission, which reviews the applications and conducts an interview with applicants.

    * The Erasmus+ program divides participating countries into two groups: associated members/program countries (27 EU member states + Turkey, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Macedonia and Serbia) and non-associated members/partner countries (rest of the world including Georgia).

    Within the framework of mobilities, tuition and travel expenses (Georgia - Associate/Program Country - Georgia) are fully reimbursed. Students will also be given a monthly stipend of 800-900 euros depending on the cost of the European (associate/program) country. And for students coming to Georgia, the scholarship amounts to 700 euros per month.

    In case of short-term physical mobility, a daily scholarship is given: in case of mobility up to 14 days, the daily allowance is 70 €; In case of mobility from 15 to 30 days, the daily allowance is 50 €.

    Prerequisites for participating in the student exchange/mobility program are:

    At the moment of applying, the student must be registered at the Caucasus International University and must be involved in the educational process (ie, must have the status of an "active" student;
    Competence level of relevant foreign language at minimum B1
    Minimum GPA - 1.5

    Summarizing the applications and interview results of the applicants of the student exchange/mobility program and evaluation of candidates takes place according to the following criteria, unless otherwise agreed by the partner universities:

    In case of a competition, the student who scores the most points will be given priority. In case of equal points, preference is given to a student who has not yet participated in an exchange/mobility program, or is a representative of a vulnerable group (socially vulnerable, displaced, disabled person, etc.).

    Before mobility, the student must complete the following documentation:

    Grant agreement, designed for the full period of mobility, signed by the student and the associate/program country higher education institution.
    Learning agreement – a predefined study program, approved by the student, sending and receiving higher education institutions.
    Erasmus + Student Charter – which includes the student's rights and duties for the period of mobility.
    Other documents required by the receiving university (if any).

    At the end of the mobility period:

    The receiving university must provide the student and the sending university with Transcript of Records as proof that the student mobility program has been completed with the agreed-planned outcomes.

    The sending university must recognize the relevant completed learning outcomes obtained by the student during the mobility period (according to the Learning Agreement, using the appropriate system). In the case of the Caucasus International University - "Rule of recognition of mobility, internal mobility and credits at the Caucasus International University". The mobility period should also be reflected/recorded in the diploma supplement.
