Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies (LBTU) and ECAM LaSalle have signed the first agreement on an extended mobility programme in the field of mechanical engineering. The agreement provides for student mobility and the coordinated delivery of study courses between the two higher education institutions. It was developed within the framework of the ChallengeEU, further expanding international cooperation and academic mobility.
Under the agreement, LBTU will offer a set of study courses from the Biosystems Machinery and Technologies programme, delivered in the fifth semester, for students from ECAM LaSalle’s Master’s Degree in General Engineering programme, who will participate during their seventh semester. During the mobility period, students will be able to take courses such as Renewable Energy and Energy Economics, Mechatronics, Applied Mechanics, Applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and other elective courses. The study content provides advanced knowledge and practical skills in mechanical engineering and biosystems technologies.
The programme ensures full academic recognition. During the mobility period, students will earn 30 ECTS credits, corresponding to a full semester workload at their home institution. This ensures continuity of studies and seamless integration into the study process, while also providing international experience and supporting the development of professional competencies.
This initiative marks an important step in implementing the goals of the ChallengeEU alliance by strengthening academic cooperation and promoting the internationalisation of engineering studies within the European Higher Education Area. LBTU continues to develop international cooperation and expand student mobility.
