VUM offers Undergraduate and Master programmes in the fields of Business and Management, Hospitality and Tourism, and Software Engineering and Business Information Systems. All study programmes are fully delivered in English. Staff members motivated to teach at VUM in the framework of an Erasmus+ staff mobility are expected to teach between 8 and 12 hours in a period of 2 to 5 days. During the teaching mobility, incoming staff members will be also offered the opportunity to meet VUM academic staff members teaching and researching in a similar field for the purposes of exchange of good practices and discussion of a possible joint research project and cooperation initiatives in the future. Incoming teachers and lecturers are kindly advised to take into account the VUM academic calendar and make sure the teaching mobility suggested by them is aligned with it.
