"Erasmus + is much more than an educational programe for students. Students who choose to live an Erasmus+ experience both during and after their successful graduation get to share their wonderful stories and experiences with us.

This is the case of Mihai Munteanu, student in the School of Behavioural and Applied Sciences, Psychology study program, 3rd year. He applied, was selected and today he is the beneficiary of an Erasmus+ Student Mobility grant at the University of Salerno, Italy,  Humanities study program, Philosophy and Education/DISUFF.

Mihai gave us his perspective on this opportunity:

"My current Erasmus experience at the University of Salerno, Italy, plays a crucial role in my professional development in the field of psychology. Here, I am continuously discovering new perspectives, benefiting from quality educational resources and an intercultural approach to the study of psychology.

Methodological and cultural differences are constantly challenging me to become more flexible and adaptable, thus adding extremely valuable skills in the practice of the profession I am training for. Currently, this experience significantly contributes to my personal development by interacting with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I enthusiastically recommend applying for Erasmus grants as they offer not only an advanced academic perspective but also unique opportunities for personal and professional growth in an exciting international environment."

Good luck, Mihai!

We hope this experience will help you build a successful professional career in the future!

As an international university, Danubius University has proposed to expand its educational projects with different institutions across the globe. One of the main goals of the leadership team is to expand opportunities for students, staff, and faculty members by building bridges between our university and international academic institutions from China and USA.

For that, our Rector and CEO, Dr. Steve O. Michael, visited the HE UNIVERSITY in China two weeks ago where he met with the President, Dr. Wei, who is also a member of the International Advisory Board of Danubius University.

Rector Michael reported that his visit to HE University was fruitful and productive. "The leadership of the University, including President Wei and his Chief of Staff, Ms. Grace, welcomed me warmly to the campus, spent time to take me on a tour of their facilities and introduced me to staff and students. Although relatively young, He University has expanded remarkably to become one of the highly respected institutions in the region." Rector Michael is exploring opportunities to collaborate with HE University on joint paramedical academic programs.

He University was established in 1999 and is one of the modern and well-endowed universities authorized by the Ministry of Education of China to offer Undergraduate programs, Masters and also Doctoral (PhD) programs. It is situated within the Shenyang Mt. Qipan Scenery and Tourism Development Zone as the only Institution in the Nation founded by Repatriated Medical Doctors.
