As proposed by the Bologna Follow-Up Group, the European Commission, together with a group of experts, has initiated the revision of the current ECTS Users’ Guide, a key instrument in ensuring that students benefit from a seamless experience when participating in learning mobility opportunities.
In June, the Erasmus Student Network had the opportunity to participate in the first meeting of the expert group tasked with providing input for shaping the new version of the Guide.
Based on the contributions we shared during that meeting, we have now put forward in writing what we believe, from the perspective of international students, could be improved in the upcoming revision of the ECTS User Guide.
Our input is structured into three main sections:
- A brief introduction to the topic
- Our recommendations, divided into different sections
- Conclusions and references
As the largest exchange student and alumni organisation representing the Erasmus Generation, students and young people who undertake mobility experiences abroad, we hope that these contributions will meaningfully inform the revision process. Our aim is to help develop a new version of the guide that truly ensures a smoother, more transparent, and more equitable mobility experience for all. This, in turn, will support the continued success and impact of Erasmus+ and other learning mobility opportunities, ultimately transforming the lives of even more individuals across Europe and beyond.
