David Botić, a student of Virovitica University of Applied Sciences on the Entrepreneurship module, spent the summer semester of the 2025/2026 academic year on an Erasmus+ study stay at the partner institution B2 Ljubljana School of Business in Slovenia.
During the semester, he attended classes, completed his study obligations and took part in a range of academic activities focused on modern business in an international and dynamic environment. The mobility was aimed at developing entrepreneurial competences and digital skills, and at understanding innovative business models and current business trends.
Through international lectures, workshops and teamwork in a multicultural environment, he had the opportunity to work with fellow students from various European countries, exchange experiences and take part in developing project ideas and business solutions. Particular emphasis was placed on international cooperation, communication skills and the application of theoretical knowledge in practical business situations.
By taking part in the Erasmus+ study stay, he gained new professional knowledge, improved his intercultural competences and gained valuable experience of studying in an international academic environment.
Having successfully completed his obligations at the partner institution, the courses he passed and the ECTS credits he earned will be recognised at Virovitica University of Applied Sciences in accordance with his Learning Agreement. In other words, the corresponding courses at his home institution in Virovitica will be replaced by the courses he attended and passed at the host institution in Ljubljana.
Erasmus+ study stays enable students to gain international experience and develop their professional and personal competences, and they increase students’ competitiveness on the labour market. For this reason, VUV continuously encourages its students to take part in the various forms of international mobility programmes.
More information about the mobility programme and how it is implemented at the University is available at vuv.hr/erasmus.
