EU funded programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe
Erasmus+ is an EU funded programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. It offers mobility and cooperation opportunities in higher education, vocational and training, K-12 school education (including early childhood education and care), adult education, youth, and sports.
Royal Thimphu College has been actively participating in the Erasmus+ programme. Under Erasmus+, RTC engages in Key Action 1 and Key Action 2 programmes.
This higher education mobility initiative facilitates both physical and blended mobility experiences for students across study fields and cycles, including short cycle, bachelor, master, and doctoral levels.
Student Mobilities: Semester-long or year-long study programmes at partner universities for outgoing students and at RTC for incoming students.
Staff Exchanges: Typically span from a week to three months, aligning with programme durations established with partner institutions.
This Key Action encompasses various collaborative initiatives, ranging from nine months to three years, aimed at fostering innovation, excellence, and capacity building across higher education, vocational education and training, youth, and sports sectors.
RTC is a beneficiary of Erasmus+ Key Action 2 with multiple projects that set the foundation for numerous transformative initiatives.
