What is ESN

The Erasmus Student Network

Today the network consists of nearly 180 sections active in 27 Countries. This represents almost 40 000 students a year whom we work directly with.

The aims of ESN are to promote the social and personal integration of the students who spend part of their studies at a foreign university. ESN helps the students and gives them advice, as well as the organisation guarantees the provision of detailed information about various exchange programmes.

Every country, every university has it’s own traditions. It takes time for a newcomer to find his way in the new environment. The most qualified person to guide an exchange student in the university world and to show him/her time saving shortcuts through the local bureaucracy is another local student. The students at the local ESN section offer this service and other invaluable information to the international students hosted by their university.

One of the aims of ESN is to help international students during their stay in another country and to help the exchange students utilise their time in the best way possible to get as much out of the exchange as possible.

What does ESN do?

ESN provides foreign students with information about a wide variety of topics.
Exchange students can participate in the activities organised by the local ESN section and get a mentor. Local students can go to the ESN section for information about exchange programmes and studying abroad.
