Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes

Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes

Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes, also known as BIPs, are short-term international study opportunities within any of the EU member states and (opens in a new window)third countries associated to the programme that combine online learning with in-person mobility. Both elements, virtual and in-person, are mandatory in a BIP.

All BIPs are credit-bearing but credit recognition towards a UCD degree is College-dependent.

Funding may be available for the in-person mobility element but is not guaranteed.

• Participation in the BIP is subject to academic approval by the student’s UCD School and administrative approval by UCD Global, in advance of the start of the BIP.
• The in-person component is usually 5 days in duration, though a maximum duration of 30 days is permitted.
• The student must complete Erasmus Grant paperwork prior to the in-person component of the BIP.
• Funding amounts depend on the destination country and the length of the BIP.
• As there is limited funding each year, and since funding is not guaranteed, students should firstly contact UCD Global in advance to check if they are eligible for a grant and if there is sufficient funding available.
