Discover opportunities that take you further

At LSM, we’re opening the door to new international experiences that fit the way you learn, grow, and connect. Whether you’re joining a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) or exploring one of our partners' Summer Schools, you’ll dive into fresh ideas, meet students from across Europe and beyond, and boost the skills that actually matter in today’s world.

Short, dynamic, and designed for impact, our programmes give you the freedom to learn differently while experiencing something unforgettable.

What is a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)?

A Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is a new learning opportunity supported by the Erasmus+ framework. It combines short-term mobility with innovative activities, allowing students to experience international learning in a flexible and engaging way.

BIPs bring together participants from different universities to work on a specific academic or professional theme. Each programme includes a short on-site session hosted by one of our partner institutions.

These programmes are designed to offer an international experience that fits easily into busy schedules, while helping participants develop valuable skills, expand their network, and discover new perspectives.

A BIP is a short-term mobility format that combines:

- Physical mobility: A short stay abroad lasting between 5 and 30 days.


- Virtual component: An online learning phase that can take place before, during, or after the physical stay.


- Collaboration: International and interdisciplinary cooperation between students and faculty.


- Workload: The programme is equivalent to 5 ECTS.

Target Audience: Priority is given to M1 students who are not planning an exchange during their M2 year.


Recognized Institutions: All BIPs organized by LSM’s European partner universities are recognized, with a priority for those within the Circle U. alliance.


Academic Integration: Recognized credits will appear in the M2 Annual Programme (PAE). 

They replace:

 

1) An "alternative course to exchange" if the student remains at LSM during Q1 of M2.

 

2) One exchange course (5 ECTS) if the student goes on exchange in M2 Q1, meaning they only need to take 25 ECTS abroad instead of 30.


Multiple BIPs: If a student wishes to participate in more than one BIP, the Jury will decide on the valuation of additional credits

BIPs are funded by the Erasmus+ programme. Participants can apply for:


Travel grant: A flat rate based on distance.


Individual support: Approximately €79/day for the physical stay (up to 14 days).


Top-ups: Additional support is available for "green travel" or participants with fewer opportunities/specific needs

Available BIP (Blended Intensive Programme)

BIP Vibes: What Our Participants Say

The Summer and Winter Schools Can Help You Widen Your Horizons!

Take part in the Summer and Winter schools to have the opportunity to network with students from around Europe, and add international experience to your career. 

What is a Summer/Winter School?

A Summer or Winter School is an intensive programme organized by a university, typically lasting 1 to 4 weeks (most commonly 2 weeks) focusing on a predefined theme.

Target Audience: Exclusively for M1 students.


Recognized Institutions: Only Summer Schools organized by European partner universities of the LSM are recognized. Courses must be at the Master’s level.


Credit Value: Regardless of the credits offered by the host university, the LSM recognizes a maximum of 5 ECTS.


Validation: Credits are awarded based on the transcript and certificate of achievement provided by the student.


Academic Integration: Similar to BIPs, these 5 ECTS replace either an "alternative course to exchange" or one 5-ECTS course during a Q1 M2 exchange.

Summer Schools are not eligible for Erasmus+ funding; all costs are the responsibility of the participating student.
