Aurora — Towards Modern and Innovative Higher Education
Aurora consortium offers an academic mobility programme consisting of 20 partner institutions from Europe and Russia. Project is coordinated by the University of Turku in Finland and funded within Erasmus Mundus Programme implemented by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency.
1) We encourage undergraduate and graduate students of the EU consortium members and bilateral agreement partner universities to apply for the exchange studies.
NB: As the majority of courses are in Russian, applicants are required to have at least the intermediate level of the Russian language competence.
2) We offer Russian language semester packages for exchange students at all levels. Students applying for intermediate and advanced level are required to take an obligatory placement test before semester starts.
3) We invite academic and administrative staff of the EU consortium members and bilateral agreement partner universities to perform training, teaching and/or research activities in any field of study.
4) We invite students to take part in our International Winter and Summer schools, focusing on Russian language and Siberian studies.
