ERASMUS FOREIGN EXCHANGE
PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Regarding the Partnership between
the Fachhochschule Koblenz
(branch of the FH Rheinland-Pfalz)
& St. Edward's University
GOALS
The partners intend (based on the mutual cooperation of both countries)
- To internationalize education.
- To arouse interest among students for the international academic as
well as business community.
- To improve students' linguistic abilities through studies abroad.
- To broaden factual and interrelated knowledge by attending lectures
at foreign universities.
- To enable students to master the challenges of a foreign situation.
DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT
I. Concrete Projects
- The two Universities will exchange three students annually for one
semester. Two semesters may be counted as one year of study.
- Students should be able to comprehend lectures in the respective foreign
language. They should have completed two years and must have completed
at least one year at their home university.
- Students will be registered at the guest university as regular students.
- The two universities recognize with this agreement (in the European
Community Known as SOKRATES-Agreement) a basic equality in terms of
accreditation and certification. They will support respective recognition
in the broadest possible terms; these terms would be discussed with
students beforehand through the use of advising.
- Within the European Community students of partner universities are
equal to native students in reference to tuition and all fees. A further
goal is to reduce and eventually eliminate all tuition at the respective
universities.

the following questions:
- Respective help with the search and procurement of internships
and providing care for interns.
- Assignments of academic projects, which can be carried out at
the partner university.
- Respective group excursions with subject-specific visitor programs.
- Exchange of professors for lectures, seminars, and other teaching
activities, as well as joint research and development projects.
- Joint projects of professors or students at one of the two universities
or at a third place.

contact person. The contact persons of the two institutions will meet
at regular intervals, at least once a year, to exchange information and
to coordinate the programs.
III. Duration and Cancellation
This agreement is valid for the duration of three years and extends itself
regularly for an additional year, unless one of the partners terminates
the agreement. In case of a cancellation on-going cooperative projects
must be carefully concluded in a correct manner.
IV. Further Cooperation
The partners will work towards closer cooperation, which might be augmented
in the future to potentially include additional partners.
