LBTU and ECAM LaSalle sign an extended mobility agreement in the field of engineering
Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies (LBTU) and ECAM LaSalle have signed the first extended mobility programme agreement in the field of engineering. The agreement provides student mobility opportunities and coordinated delivery of study courses between the two higher education institutions. It has been developed within the framework of the European university alliance ChallengeEU, expanding international cooperation and study mobility opportunities.
Under the agreement, LBTU will offer a set of study courses from the "Biosystems Machinery and Technologies" programme (5th semester), in which students from ECAM LaSalle’s "Master’s Degree in General Engineering" programme (7th semester) will participate. During the mobility period, students will be able to take courses such as "Renewable Energy and Energy Economics", "Mechatronics", "Applied Mechanics", as well as "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 is an important step in implementing the goals of the ChallengeEU alliance, 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 opportunities.
