MONTHLY EXPENSES (AVERAGE VALUE)

The student exchange can be effected only with the University having the ERASMUS CARD valid for a particular academic year, with which the bilateral agreement was signed.

Students qualified for the exchange within ERASMUS+ programme should meet the following formal criteria:

1. be a citizen of the country entitled to participate in ERASMUS+ programme or have an official status of a refugee or the right of permanent residence in the country,
2. be officially registered at the faculty of studies enabling the students to obtain a bachelor’s or master’s degree at the university that signed this agreement,
3. be (at the moment of leaving) a student of at least second year of studies of the first cycle (bachelor’s studies),
4. should know the language of instruction of a selected university at the level that would enable them to participate in classes,
5. a necessary condition to leave is to pass all the courses of the semester preceding the exchange.

The stay of a student at the partner university with the aim to study cannot be shorter than 3 months or the shortest full cycle of education (e.g. trimester or a semester), but cannot exceed 1 academic year. The minimal stay at the partner university covers only the period of studying and does not include a potential language training or any other additional elements.
Each student qualified for the exchange within ERASMUS+ programme signs a written agreement. Each student qualified for the exchange receives the Erasmus Student Card provided by the National Agency.
Each student qualified for the exchange should be given a guarantee that passing a period of studies at a partner university is tantamount to the period of studies at the mother university. Prior to signing the agreement with a student, the mother university should make sure that the programme of the studies prepared for a student at the partner university guarantees that the fundamental principle of student exchange will be respected. Prior to the exchange, for each student coming and leaving within the ERASMUS+ programme an individual program of the studies at the partner university should be agreed in the form of a ‘Learning Agreement’ (LA) signed by three parties: the mother university, the receiving university and a student. All the changes introduced to the ‘Learning agreement’ by any of the parties should be made in writing. The University should make every effort to check that when preparing the Learning Agreement there are no material programme discrepancies in the teaching standards of a particular faculty. If the discrepancies are inevitable, they should be specified before the exchange and the mother university, and a student should decide on a date and way to make up for them.
Usually, together with the documents confirming the admission, the partner university sends the students an information brochure including the information on possible accommodation.
Before leaving, a student should check where to go when arriving at the partner university. They should know the name and telephone number of a contact person at the foreign university.
Students should be informed if they need to obtain, at the end of their stay at the partner university, a written statement of their stay at the university together with the list of attended classes and obtained results in the form of a Transcript of Records (TR).
If all the conditions agreed in writing are met by a student, the period of studying (courses, passes and exams) are credited and considered as equal to the relevant period of studying (courses, passes and exams) at the mother university. A decision about the fulfilment of the agreed conditions by a student is taken by the mother university after the consultation with a receiving university. In case of any discrepancies, the decision about the scope of passes is taken by the mother university. The university may also decide if the failure to meet the specified conditions by a student should result in return of the part or total value of the received grant. The student will not be required to return the grant in case of circumstances beyond the student’s control, defined as 'force majeur’. In such a case a written consent from the National Agency should be obtained.

The receiving university cannot demand any tuition fees from a student (tuition fee, entry fee, exam fees, laboratory use fee, library fee etc). The university is allowed to charge petty fees (membership in student organizations, using a photocopy machine etc.) on the same conditions that apply to the local students.
Payment of all the state scholarships (social, scientific and other) that a student became entitled to receive before leaving the country, should be continued during the student’s stay at the partner university. A student should have the right to apply for the payment of the above benefits after the return to the mother university and the grades received at the partner university, calculated according to the scale of grades applicable in the country, should constitute the basis to apply for a scientific scholarship.
Upon return from the partner university, a student should fill in a questionnaire according to the specimen provided by the mother university.

Cuiavian University in Włocławek (called CU for short) is a non-state-owned college founded in 1995 by the Włocławek Scholarly Association.
The CU offers courses at the bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and post-graduate levels in the following faculties: Administration, Economics, Pedagogics, National Defence, Vocational safety, Construction, Logistics, Transport, Nursing, Nutrition and Physiotherapy. Within each faculty course there are certain specialties.

The College also offers a wide range of post graduate courses. The mission of CU is to provide its students with a comprehensive education in the field of humanities and economics, linguistics and computer science, based on modern programs designed by renown specialists. The College – apart from its educational activities – carries out a wide range of scientific research. Within almost twenty-five years of its operations, Cuiavian University in Włocławek has hosted and organized more than 170 international and country-wide conferences, seminars, scientific sessions and open lectures.

The College started a wide range of publishing activities. Books edited by the CU include both books and publishing series for library use. Publishing series for library use published by the CU include: Scientific Diaries, Scientific Debuts and Open Lectures. So far the College has published more than 200 publications from many branches of science.

Also, the College cooperates in fields of teaching and research with foreign universities. In the academic year of 2020/2021 the College obtained the  ERASMUS CHARTER, granted by the European Commission for years 2021-2027. Within the frames of this programme, the CU began cooperation with many higher education institutions from abroad: University College of Boras (Sweden), University of Valencia (Spain),  Bozok University (Turkey), Turiba Business School (Latvia), Universty of Azores (Portugal) and the Economic State University in Sofia (Bulgaria) to name just a few. Active participation within ERASMUS+ is the base for academic mobility both for students and staff. Our staff take part in many foreign language courses abroad (in Malta and in Spain). We also run projects for our Open University where participants join international training sessions around Europe.

Students of the University of Cuiavian University in Włocławek are active members of the college’s internal organizations: the Students’ Council, The College Club of the Academic Sports Association, The Polish Students’ Union, and in scientific circles available in all faculties.

The College has its own system of financial support for students. The CU rewards its best students and those taking part in social activities in favour of the CU with a wide range of scientific scholarships and the Rector’s awards for excellent results in studies. They can also apply for social scholarships and the so-called emergency support.

The College has its own teaching base, among others, at 1 Plac Wolności., where there is the Rector’s Office, and an auditorium hall for 350 attendants. Faculties  as well as inter-faculty units: the Department of Foreign Languages, the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Physical Education own a building offering space of 2.874 m2 (Collegium Minus), with classrooms, laboratories (a modern, multimedia classroom for foreign language studies, a chemical laboratory), five computer labs and canteen facilities for students.

The six-floor building (Collegium Novum) covering a total working space of 4.000m 2 is put into operation for teaching and research purposes. The venue meets all technical standards of the higher education level. In the building there are modern classrooms and conference halls equipped with air-conditioning system, audio-video and a computer networks.

In the central building (located in Plac Wolności) one can find the seat of the Main Library of the CU, which houses the  impressive  collection of books of over 60,000 volumes. The library has access to electronic databases and e-book services . The Main Library  operates in a modern system of barcodes with the SOWA computer program, and has its own book collection available online.
Cuiavian University in Włocławek serves also as a cultural and advisory centre. The CU runs a wide range of cultural activities (European Nights, shows of musical groups, choirs, exhibitions of artists etc.).

The University also organises numerous conferences, scientific seminars and open lectures covering a wide range of subjects. These are not only aimed at students but also at all individuals who want to improve their knowledge of various subjects.
The activities of the Open University should also be mentioned here, as the 60+ citizens of the region are attracted to many courses which are tailored for their needs and expectations. There are over 1800 members of the Open University right now.
