Humanitas University aims to prepare students to face the challenging reality of a European society that, while still strongly anchored to its traditions, is undergoing the process of globalization: the exchange programs provide students with an opportunity to study in a different country and environment experiencing the history and culture of another country, as well as meeting new friends to enrich their personal development. International exchange programs, including Erasmus+ and Travel Grants, are also effective to challenge students to develop a global perspective.
