Learning Agreement

Once the ESRS documents are complete, you may start creating the Learning Agreement (LA) - it's a document in which you choose the courses you will study during your exchange at UG.

Please discuss the relevance between courses studied at home university and those chosen to study at UG with your home coordinator. 

A completed Learning Agreement (LA) must be approved and signed by three parties: the student, the sending institution Erasmus coordinator, and the UG faculty coordinator. Following this, it must be uploaded to the student's personal ESRS account. This step is mandatory.

 

Please check whether your home University uses OLA (Online Learning Agreement) platform used for processing Learning Agreements.

If YES, ask for access to your account, follow the necessary steps and provide following contacts:

  • Responsible person at receiving institution – University of Gdansk: your faculty coordinator’s data (see Faculty Coordinators)
  • Erasmus administrative contact – Ms Monika Lengier and Ms Natalia Fiertek, e-mail: erasmus.incoming@ug.edu.pl

If your University does not use OLA yet, then fill out your institution’s Learning Agreement form and forward it to your appointed UG faculty coordinator for approval.

 

With all academic matters, such as course choice, timetable, study programme - please contact our faculty coordinators directly: Faculty Coordinators.

  • Winter semester & full academic year

         25.06.2024

  • Summer semester
