• Notes 1. Subject area code & name and study cycle are optional. Inter-institutional agreements are not
compulsory for Student Mobility for Traineeships or Staff Mobility for Training. Institutions may agree to cooperate on the organization of traineeship. In this case, they should indicate the number of students that they intend to send to the partner country. Total duration in months/days of the student/staff mobility periods or average duration can be indicated if relevant.
2. The staff for teaching in previous table has been set by mutual agreement between the two institutions. Some other staff mobility can be set depending on the mutual agreement by the time of each mission.
C. Recommended language skills
The sending institution, following agreement with the receiving institution, is responsible for providing support to its nominated candidates so that they can have the recommended language skills at the start of the study or teaching period:

• For more details on the language of instruction recommendations, see the course catalogue of
each institution (links provided on first page).
RO BUCURES11 comments: • The spoken language during the 1st cycle is Romanian. However, students with sufficient level
of English can perform quite well, as many of course materials are in English. Exams can be passed in English on demand. French is a language that Romanian teachers and students can easily understand. Moreover, some courses are given in French.
• Some Master Modules at PUB-FAC&C are taught in English. Nevertheless, most Master modules are taught in Romanian.
• If necessary, basic Romanian lessons can be arranged, free of charge.
F GRENOBL01 comments: • It is deemed understood that students must have the necessary level to be able to attend
lessons and sit exams. French language knowledge is highly recommended.
D. Additional requirements
Best candidate ERASMUS students have to be selected from each institution, as result of annual contests.
The sending institution is in charge with offering the ERASMUS student or teacher the fellowship during the mobility period.
2 For an easier and consistent understanding of language requirements, use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is recommended, see http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/resources/european‐language‐levels‐cefr.
4/7
The receiving institution is in charge with offering the ERASMUS student or teacher a convenient accommodation. Moreover, for ERASMUS teachers, the receiving institution should set some working places with internet connection.
Both institutions have the infrastructure to welcome students and staff with disabilities.
RO BUCURES11 comments:
• Enrolment. There are no enrolment conditions. The foreign student is in charge with selecting the courses that bring her/him the number of required ECTS by the sending institution.
• Admission to Master programmes. Master courses can be taken by foreigners without any restriction, but no graduation diploma is issued. Getting the Romanian graduation diploma at Master level is only possible for foreigners if some double diploma agreement has already been set between the two institutions, prior to students’ mobility. In this case, guest students have to complete the 2nd year of the 2nd cycle solely in Romania.
• Teaching Staff Mobility. A letter of invitation issued by an authorized Romanian contact person is required, prior to implementing Teaching Staff Mobility.
