Is Erasmus for me? The Geographical Institute has Erasmus agreements with many European universities. Geography majors can complete one or two semesters at a university abroad (allowing a total of 30 ECTS credits to be counted toward the major). This is available for both Bachelor’s and Master’s programs, with the prerequisite of completing introductory studies.
