Student mobility Erasmus+ incoming studentsIAESTE internships The School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics welcomes Erasmus+ exchange students in mathematics, statistics and computer science. Below you will find how to choose courses, how they are taught to incoming students and what to expect before, during and after your stay. Students of our School: information on outgoing Erasmus+ mobility and calls for applications is available in Croatian – switch the language to Hrvatski at the top of this page. The recognition of ECTS credits is governed by the recognition procedure (in Croatian). Courses for incoming students, academic year 2026/2027 The list of courses for 2026/2027 gives, for each course, the lecturer and their e-mail address, the study level, semester, ECTS credits, the teaching mode for Erasmus+ students and the assessment requirements. If you would like to take a course that is not on the list, please contact the Erasmus+ coordinator before including it in your Learning Agreement. How the courses are taught Most courses are not re-taught in English in the regular timetable. Each course on the list is taught in one of three modes: Consultative (mentored) model – you study independently from the English syllabus and reading list and meet the lecturer for regular individual consultations; assignments and exams are in English. Project / research work under mentorship – instead of following the full course, you complete a larger project or research task tied to the learning outcomes of the course, supervised and assessed in English. Taught in English (in person) – the whole course is delivered in English in the regular timetable; this is possible only for some courses. Please contact your lecturers at the beginning of the semester to agree on consultations. How to apply Your home institution must have an Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreement with the University of Osijek that covers our field of study (see the list of UNIOS Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreements) and must nominate you for a mobility at the University of Osijek. Applications, deadlines and practical matters such as accommodation are handled by the University of Osijek International Relations Office – see Nomination and application procedures and other information for incoming students. Your Learning Agreement is signed on behalf of the School by the Erasmus+ academic coordinator, who will also help you if you need to change it after arrival. Students hosted by another faculty of the University of Osijek (for example the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology or the Faculty of Economics) can also include our courses in their Learning Agreement. Please contact the Erasmus+ coordinator before you finalise it. Fees and grants Erasmus+ exchange students do not pay tuition fees at the University of Osijek. Erasmus+ grants, including additional support for students with fewer opportunities, are awarded by your home institution. More information about the programme is available in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide. When you arrive At the beginning of the semester we hold an introductory meeting for incoming students with the Vice-Dean for Teaching and Students and the Erasmus+ coordinator (see the October 2026 meeting). You will learn how classes, exams and ECTS credits are organised and which documents you will need during and after your stay. In the Buddy programme, organised together with the Student Union, students of the School help you find your way around the School and student life in Osijek. The coordinator and the Student Administration Office will help you with practical matters such as your student ID card, and you are welcome to use the School library. Croatian language You can take the course Croatian Language at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek and include it in your Learning Agreement with the corresponding ECTS credits. Before you leave Make sure that all your grades have been entered and contact the coordinator about your Transcript of Records and the confirmation of your stay. We will also ask you to fill in a short anonymous survey about your stay – your feedback helps us improve our support for incoming students. Contact Erasmus+ academic coordinator: Assoc. Prof. Ivan Papić (ipapic@mathos.hr)School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics, Trg Ljudevita Gaja 6, 31000 Osijek, Croatia Experiences of our exchange students “I am Elisabeth Flores, originally from Santiago de Chile. In 2018/2019, from the University of Augsburg in Germany I had the opportunity to go on an Erasmus+ exchange programme in the city of Osijek. It is a small, charming city that offers a very interesting experience that I still cherish in my memory to this day. Although I had most of my courses at the Faculty of Economics, I had the opportunity to attend the “Operational Research” course delivered by Professor Tomislav Marošević at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics. In addition to the literature and material he always made available, Professor Marošević always quickly attended to my doubts and concerns regarding the course. The acquired knowledge is useful to me to this day for my Master’s courses in Germany. Therefore, it is a course that I can highly recommend!” “In general, I can say that the teachers were always attentive and helpful, which was very necessary at the time being in a completely unknown place. The summer in Osijek was absolutely beautiful!” “I am Zoi Kousteni, student at the Department of Industrial Design and Production Engineering at the University of West Attica in Greece. In 2018/2019, I was at the University of Osijek as part of a student exchange mobility scheme through an Erasmus+ programme. Having the option to stay at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics, even though I belonged to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, really helped fuel my love for science. I attended and passed the course in Cryptography and Basics of Artificial Intelligence as part of my Erasmus+ programme and now, it feels like a mistake that I didn’t take more courses at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics. Professors were really good, kind and passionate about their courses. Therefore, they are excellent professors that I will never forget! So, when you are in doubt, if not every course, I would suggest to take most of your courses at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics!” IAESTE CROATIA LO OsijekWeb: http://www.iaeste.hr Mail: osijek@iaeste.hr Tel: +385 31 220 629 Fax: +385 31 220 629 IAESTE CROATIA is the Croatian association for the international exchange of students in natural and technical sciences. Throughout the year, the IAESTE association carries out its regular activities with the following main objectives: Provide students in natural and technical fields with practical experience to enhance their professional development. Offer employers well-qualified and motivated student interns. Promote understanding and tolerance among people of different beliefs and backgrounds, thereby culturally enriching the student-intern as well as their hosts. Through IAESTE, students from abroad can complete an internship at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics. Our teachers act as their mentors and involve them in research work, which in some cases has led to joint scientific papers. Internships are arranged through the IAESTE committee in your home country. Foreign students who completed internships at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics Blanca Gomez Sanz (2023): “Having spent a fulfilling year on an Erasmus program in Warsaw, I discovered my passion for living abroad. This realization led me to pursue a two-month internship at Osijek’s Faculty of Mathematics with the help of IAESTE. My work here involved diving into graph theory research alongside an incredible professor. It wasn’t a straight path; it was an exploration, navigating through different directions until we found what we were looking for, often using Python for our discoveries. These experiences reminded me of the beauty of thinking in math, something that sometimes gets lost in the routine of exams. Osijek, a small but charming city, became a hub where I connected with fellow international students on Erasmus and locals alike. It’s been a language journey—improving my English and even picking up a few Croatian words. Meeting people from diverse backgrounds expanded my cultural horizons in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Living abroad teaches adaptability and self-reliance, making you more capable of facing life’s challenges. In short, this internship in Osijek has been an eye-opening experience, reinforcing my belief that everyone should try living abroad at least once. It’s a journey that shapes your worldview, challenges you, and enriches your life in unexpected ways.” Student dataInternship dataNameYearDuration (months)CountryHome institutionBlanca Gomez Sanz20232SpainUniversity of ZaragozaKurt Klement Gottwald20222GermanyChemnitz University of TechnologyTomasz Jozefiak20202PolandLodz University of TechnologyChortaras Agapios20192GreeceAristotle University of ThessalonikiIvana Raković20182Bosnia and HerzegovinaUniversity of Banja Luka, Faculty of Natural Sciences and MathematicsJohannes Jung20172GermanyTechnische Universität BerlinLuis Enrique Rodriguez Luna20162MexicoInstituto Tecnológico de DurangoFrancisco Xavier Escobar Herrera20152MexicoInstituto Tecnológico Superior de Poza RicaPatrick Wijerama20112AustriaJohannes Kepler University LinzCarolina Santos Andrade20102BrazilUniversidade Estadual de CampinasDarko Domazetovski20082North MacedoniaSt. Kliment Ohridski University, BitolaGeorg Fuchsbauer20062AustriaJohannes Kepler University LinzMałgorzata Magdalena Borda20052PolandSilesian University of Technology, Gliwice
