The Attractiveness of European Universities
ERASMUS MUNDUS FASTQUAD PROJECT -NOVOSIBIRSK MEETING ,22-25 SEPTEMBER 2010
Because:- are not at home!- are located in the cities with history and cultural
tradition;- the mobility in a foreign university is a challenge to
prove your self that you can study and live abroad- it is a way to have an academic experience - it is an intercultural experience- is a way to study and communicate in a foreign language
Why are Or should be attractive European universities for students from non EU countries and vice versa ?
ERASMUS MUNDUS FASTQUAD PROJECT -NOVOSIBIRSK MEETING ,22-25 SEPTEMBER 2010
To add more answers we can have: - a quick look at the aims of the Bologna Process for the establishment of a European higher education area – EHEA- to study the problem from the student perspective- and to make a view on two examples of good practice in the field of European and international student mobility

Recognition of the student work in the project
The subject is a new discipline which is not exactly the same in all the syllabus of participating schools or faculties;
The number of didactical hours was 48/week (very intensive!) for student and teacher; the duration of the workshop was two weeks;
The students acquired 5 ECTS credits for the subject “industrial design” (Mechanical Engineering) or the equivalence with the subject “practical training” or “architectural design” at the level admitted by the specific syllabus (Architecture, Electrical engineering, Civil engineering).

The reflection
My basic idea is that for every person, in his and her culture and specific situation, other people and cultures provide a possibility for reflection and change, and that it is also a possibility to learn.
