In addition to the universities' information materials we recommend you have a look at the "report sheets" of our outgoing students who have just been away. These are available on Stud.IP or at our office during office hours.
If you wish to get in touch with former students in the relevant progamme please come and ask for their contacts in the Study Abroad office hours.
Please also look at the ERASMUS database on the pages of JLU's central international office which inludes an official Erasmus report for each of our Erasmus partner universities. In order to find the reports, you need to search for the respective university, scroll down, click on the name of the university to be directed to its individual page and then go to "Erfahrungsbericht". You may have to use the university's name instead of its location to find it, e. g. "Universitat Rovira i Virgili" or "Mary Immaculate College" instead of "Tarragona" or "Limerick".
