The Western University of Timisoara opens for its students a new perspective of living the international academic experience. Starting with the second semester of the 2020-2021 academic year, UVT offers them the opportunity to participate in virtual study mobility in partner universities abroad.

This is possible, for the first time, in the context of UVT's membership in the UNITA European alliance, which implements, in a consortium of six international partners, the "UNITA - Universitas Montium" project, under the umbrella of "Erasmus+ European Universities".

The consortium brings together universities whose communities total over 165 students, from various European countries speaking Romance languages ​​(Italy, France, Spain, Romania and Portugal) and which operate in similar geographical, cultural and socio-economic ecosystems. UVT is allied in the European network "UNITA - Universitas Montium" with: Università degli studi di Torino, Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, Université Savoie Mont Blanc, Universidad de Zaragoza and Universidade Beira Interior.

Given the impact of the pandemic on the physical mobility of studies abroad, the UNITA Alliance comes up with an alternative, through an offer of online courses that students of any of the six universities can access through virtual mobility. Thus, they will be able to follow and graduate courses offered online by the partner institutions, and these will be recognized and equated to them as part of the study program, according to the already known model of Erasmus+ mobility abroad. The selection takes place during this period, through a fully digitized process, the evaluation being carried out at the partner universities. The subsequent recognition and equivalence of the courses at UVT will also take place online.
