Mobility Programmes (Short-Term)

MMU encourages participation in short-term mobility programmes, including summer schools, study tours, virtual exchange, and cultural immersion programmes. These programs typically range from 1 to 4 weeks.

Inbound Mobility (from partner universities)

MMU provides several standardised 2-week mobility modules and also accommodates customised short-term programmes such as edutourism, research visits, and language bootcamps which can be tailored based on the interests and objectives of our partner institutions.

These programmes are designed for group participation and are best experienced as a shared learning journey. They are not open to individual applicants, so we kindly ask that all requests be made through your university’s international office.
