Marius wanted to take part in the Erasmus exchange programme to gain teaching experience in other countries, to learn about their universities and to help with student recruitment. He went to the Medical University of Wroclaw (Poland) and the University of Peloponnese (Greece). He’s also planning to go to the Central European University in Budapest (Hungary). The universities selected are emerging within the new European scene of higher education and it is important for Oxford Brookes University to recruit students from the newly integrated Eastern European countries.
Marius spent one week in each location teaching and carrying out research, helped by the fact that he could speak the local language. The experience enabled him to meet young scholars and broaden his knowledge about these countries and has also helped him in his work as it attracted interest in the research topics offered by Oxford Brookes University. One of his definite highlights was being able to work with the local students and strongly recommends the programme, advising his peers to be prepared to experience new things and really appreciate the local knowledge.
