The Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences demonstrates a strong internationalization capacity through Erasmus mobility activities covering both students and academic staff. According to institutional records, the Faculty hosted more than 215 incoming international students between 2020 and 2024 from over 20 different countries, including France, Germany, Poland, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Lithuania, Norway, Hungary, and Pakistan. This diversity reflects the Faculty's expanding global academic network and its increasing attractiveness as a preferred destination institution.
Incoming student mobility is primarily concentrated in Business Administration (English), which accounts for approximately 55 percent of total incoming mobility. This is followed by Political Science and International Relations (English) with nearly 25 percent, Aviation Management with around 15 percent, and International Trade and Finance with approximately 5 percent of total placements. This distribution highlights the strategic importance of English-taught programs in attracting international students and strengthening global engagement.
Outgoing student mobility data indicates active participation across academic departments. The Faculty has facilitated more than 30 outbound student mobilities, including both study and internship placements. Among outgoing students, Business Administration and Aviation Management programs represent nearly 60 percent of total participation, while Political Science and International Relations and International Trade and Finance together account for approximately 40 percent. Internship mobility placements, particularly in Germany and Belgium, constitute nearly 20 percent of outbound activities and play a significant role in enhancing students' professional skills and labor market readiness.
Academic staff mobility constitutes another important dimension of Erasmus engagement. The Faculty has implemented more than 35 staff mobility activities, including teaching assignments, training visits, preparatory visits, and institutional cooperation initiatives. Incoming staff mobility has involved partner universities from Spain, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Romania, and Bulgaria. Outgoing staff mobility has included academic collaborations with institutions such as La Sapienza University in Italy, University College Birmingham in the United Kingdom, University of Ioannina in Greece, and Universidad de Huelva in Spain.
In terms of mobility type distribution, study mobility accounts for approximately 70 percent of total Erasmus activities, followed by internship mobility at 15 percent and staff teaching and training mobility at 15 percent. Semester-based participation is primarily concentrated in the Fall and Spring terms, while short-term intensive programs and Blended Intensive Programs have been increasingly implemented in recent academic years to diversify mobility formats.
Overall, the Faculty's Erasmus performance demonstrates systematic growth, strong institutional partnerships, and balanced participation across academic units. These outcomes directly support the University's strategic objectives related to international visibility, graduate employability, academic quality enhancement, and sustainable global cooperation.
