To ensure reciprocity, mobility stays in Switzerland by students and staff from countries participating in Erasmus+ are supported through the SEMP (Swiss-European Mobility Program), which is managed by the national agency Movetia in Switzerland.
The Swiss-European Mobility Program allows students from European universities to study for 1 to 2 semesters at certain Swiss partner universities under bilateral agreements.
UCLy has bilateral agreements with the following Swiss institutions, depending on specific fields of study.
