Examples of mobility tracks students can choose:

PoSIG offers a wide range of mobility tracks, and prospective students are required to select their preferred option during the application process. However, the specific details of the chosen track can be further discussed and refined with guidance from the PoSIG executive director.

To assist you in identifying the most suitable PoSIG mobility track, we recommend the following two-step approach:

  • First, define your areas of specialization. Then, select a partner university that offers courses aligned with your specialization.
  • When making your decision, it is advisable to consider the following points:
    Check the academic profile of the partner universities. Identify the program offers best fitting to your qualification strategy.

You can consult the list of all partner institutions participating in the consortium on the following page: About Partners!
