Other relevant information:

Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti observes the provisions of Erasmus Charter, respects the quality assurance regulations and the best practices in the European space. An integral part of our strategy is the continuation of partnerships and the initiation of new collaboration programs.

The Erasmus+ objectives are formulated in two directions: students' placement mobility and staff mobility for teaching activities. In both directions, we are interested in facilitating interactions at the European level and improving the teaching/learning methods. At the same time, we aim at identifying common research interests which materialize during exchanges.
The benefit of Erasmus+ exchanges is that they contribute to the personal development of students and teachers, by improving linguistic competence, social skills, intercultural competence and encouraging initiative spirit. 
The university fully supports the Erasmus+ program considering it one of the best ways of bringing different cultures in contact, which is beneficial for everyone involved.
As host institution, Petroleum-Gas University supports the selected students in completing all the formalities with the Romanian authorities.
