ERASMUS 2025-2026

Our Erasmus students from the EPJ are approaching the end of the traineeships abroad! They are currently in their last four weeks... 

Ivana, a student from the Administrative Assistant degree, is currently in Gallipoli, Italy working in Administration for a company that has gyms in the city. She is enjoying very much the nice weather in the south of Italy.

However, Diego, from the Marketing and Adverting degree, is in Tallinn, Estonia where spring is not completely present yet. He is helping one of our former students, David, which was hired by the company where he did his traineeship.

Helena is currently putting into practice all that she has learnt in her degree of International Trade in a Chamber of Commerce in Budapest, Hungary. She has been in contact with companies that want to bring their business to Hungary.

Inés is the first Dietetics student in 9 years to do her traineeship abroad. She is in Ireland doing some work in a Microbiology lab. She is enjoying it very much!

Finally, Till, also from the Marketing and Advertising degree, is in Lisbon, helping with the social media channels of a small company.

We will wait for they return in June so they can tell us all about their experiences and what they have learnt both professionally and personaly.

🌍 Internationalisation at EP Javeriana: Always on the Way! 🚀

This school year, our Internationalization team has been working hard to open more doors and create new opportunities for our students to explore the world. 

We are very happy with our results, specially because it was our first time working on our Finspain #TIB project (with our Finish partners) face to face  doing Erasmus+ mobilities for a week with a group of students.

We first received a Finnish group of students for a week in Madrid and then we had the opportunity to visit them in Oulu.

We’ve also hosted teachers from Latvia, and welcomed students and staff from France.

Our students have worked, shared and learnt alongside international peers. Many have also completed their Erasmus+ work internships in countries like Poland, Hungary, and Ireland—gaining real-world experience and unforgettable memories.

We’ve also launched virtual exchanges with the Netherlands, exploring different vocational education systems and sharing classroom experiences. Step by step, we're making international mobility part of our everyday school life.

Our students say participating in these International Projects has broaden their minds and help them grow as people and as professionals.

We believe international experiences are key to shaping future professionals—and we’re committed to making them available to more students every year. Because at EP Javeriana, we’re Always on the Way! 🌟

EP Javeriana visits OSAO in Oulu, Finland

In March, a group of 12 students and 2 teachers from EP Javeriana packed their bags and headed North — way North! Our destination? Oulu, Finland to visit our friends from OSAO! ❄️

This was our first international trip as a group, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we landed, our Finnish hosts at OSAO made us feel completely welcome. We shared classes, worked on joint projects, visited local companies… and even got to experience a real Finnish sauna (yes, we jumped into ice hole!)

It was very interesting to get a real experience in Finnish education system. Our students participated in their Hackathon project (Problem Based Learning methodology) integrated in mixed groups. The solutions our 8 teams proposed to the real companies challenges were very creative and helpful. Congratulations!

But we also made amazing memories: bowling together, slipping on icy sidewalks, and admiring the Northern Lights in the sky walking on the frozen sea.

Most of all, this trip helped us grow as people and as professionals. We stepped out of our comfort zones, practiced our English and deepen our friendship with our Finnish colleagues.

We’re already dreaming about the next exchange! Watch our video to find out more about it.💫

FINSPAIN TIB: THREE SCHOOL YEARS WORKING TOGETHER

A couple of weeks ago we experienced the third year of the FINSPAIN TIB project between the students and teachers of OSAO and Javerianas School.  This was the first time that we could meet in person but this project has been developing and evolutioning over the last 3 years. 

I've been fortunate enough to see it since the very first time, it consisted of online meets evolving the development of joint projects between some of the students at their school and us. It was very well planned and executed by the teachers of both schools but of course improving of the first year and optimizing every part of the experience.

This year the project evolved a lot as the project is now presential for the students both of Spain and Finland, first they came to Madrid in late November and then it is turn for us to go there at early march. This is a huge step for the connection between the schools that is very much enjoyed and appreciated by all the people involved. Following the latest visit of the finnish and the activities done, we can say that the project is growing exponentially and can be an amazing learning opportunity for both parts. We are proud that we were part of this and hope it continues like this, getting better every year!!

LAST YEAR ONLINE EXPERIENCE:
We worked online on two different sessions, the first one was to get to know eachother and the second one, each group of students presented a project they were working on in class:

Session 1

In the first session, we presented ourselves to the Finnish students explaining some characteristics of our country, city and school. Then we talked in more detail about our class, International Trade Year 1 and our experiences during the course. Also, the Finnish students explained to us about Finland and their school, OSAO.

Session 2

In the second session of FINSPAIN, we worked on our “Shopping in Madrid” project, that talked about all the different commercial areas all over around our city. We started with research, dividing ourselves into 5 different groups to explore those areas and gather information and pictures. Later on we built a presentation based on that information and showed it to our Finnish friends before having them show us their business project. It was a very fun project that required everyone's full cooperation and ended up being a huge success.

ERASMUS (Grado Medio)

Here we have the experience of Iker about his Erasmus placement in Dublin:


My name is Iker and I’m currently  in a traineeship in Dublin. The Company is an official test center for English that is a requisite for students and professionals who wish to study, work or migrate to an English-speaking country.
 
The exam is an English language proficiency test that includes writing, speaking and hearing skills. I usually receive the candidates when they arrive to the exam and pick and review the required documentation. Once the exam is completed, I carry out the process of reviewing , scanning and ratings  transcription. On the other hand, I also participate in the process of sending and receiving exams from educational centers which include physical visits to the post offices.
 
This is certainly a great experience and an opportunity that allows you to gain experience in the marketplace combined with an international practice that allows you also to continue learning the language intensively. I’m enjoying Erasmus + very much and I fully recommend it.





We are sure that this has been a very joyful experience!

ERASMUS+ Experience (Grado Superior)

 It has been a month already since Miguel and Celia left Spain in order to start their internships abroad. Here it is what they have to say about it:


Hi I'm Miguel, I am currently doing my internship at the British Chamber of Commerce in Hungary. My experience here has been nothing but exceptional at the moment, experiencing how business is runned in another country is really mind-opening and broadens your knowledge in every single aspect. From managing the chamber's email to organizing events for the members and non-members to give them a platform to expand their business. As far as life outside work, everything is totally different but still impressive, meeting people from places I never knew existed and the willingness there is to make new friendships is something everyone should experience. I have only great words for this experience, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in widening their knowledge in international businesses and moving out of their comfort zone. This experience makes you grow professionally and personally.



Here is Celia's experience:

My experience doing an internship in another country it's been very good, but sometimes it's strange. Coming to another country alone, with another language, another culture and even another currency.

Maybe the worst part of thi is feeling alone here, but in my case I don’t feel alone most of the time. Sometimes I really enjoy being alone but I’m not alone here, my flatmate for example is a very good girl and we have fun together, even my Turkish friends at the office, we have so many laughs together.

I really enjoy being here in Poznan although the weather is still a bit unstable (today we have a maximum temperature of 7ºC and tomorrow we will be at 16ºC).

At first I thought that the language would be a problem, maybe because I was very shy to talk in English because I thought my level was not very high, but when I arrive here that was not a problem because I can have normal and fluid conversations with almost everyone, but there are sometimes that I don’t know some words and try to explain it with another words, or even invented a word, like ‘place for the planes’ to say ‘airport’ or ‘forest’s policemans’ to say ‘forestry experts’ and we always have lots of laughs.

I’ve met new friends from a lot of countries such as Colombia, Germany, China, Indonesia, Turkey, France and some Polish people, and we had a very good time together.


Very soon they'll be back and they will tell us all about their stay abroad!

ERASMUS 2023 (Medium Degree/Grado Medio)

This past Saturday, our Administration Assistants going on an Erasmus have already flown to Dublin in order to begin this experience.

We would like to take advantage of this opportunity to say thanks to the Fundació Inform for giving a chance to our students to be able to have this experience.

Iker and Irene were at school some days ago in order to finalize and sign all the paperwork required so they could be prepared to take off in the next few days.


We hope that this is an experiences that they will never forget!

ERASMUS in Poznan, Poland

They are closer to coming back home than their beginning of their Erasmus Experience, but they seem to be enjoying it a Lot and having wonderful experiences.




Just a feo weeks ago they were getting ready and now, they are getting ready to get back home after an increíble experience that all of them will remember forever.




Here is what Marina has to say:

"My experience in this Erasmus has completely exceeded my expectations. It is a unique experience, where I am growing as a person and in the field of my knowledge. I am improving my English and in the company I am learning in a pragmatic way to translate everything I have learned at school. In addition, we are traveling a lot and meeting wonderful people, I have made many new friends with whom I am sharing incredible and unique experiences."

ERASMUS in Tallinn, Estonia

David has already been in Estonia for a month, and even though it is already Spring, it seems that he Stills quite some more Snow to experience during has traineeship in Tallinn.


Here you have some of has thoughts:

"El trabajo me gusta mucho y lo estoy disfrutando bastante ya que está muy relacionado con lo que hemos estudiado en el grado, hago varias tareas como redes sociales (diseño de las imágenes y realización de los textos para dichas publicaciones), incluyo contenido en la app (procedimientos médicos) y sobretodo hago investigación de los diferentes mercados como Letonia, Polonia, Finlandia etc... Principalmente busco socios comerciales, regulaciones bancarias para realizar cobros y recibir pagos, localizo nuestro target en los países (compañías de seguros, hospitales, escuelas etc...) Y la verdad esque es bastante entretenido, pero también es un trabajo exigente y requiere mucha concentración y tiempo.

En cuanto a la vida aquí está muy bien pero no se compara con España ya que el cambio es bastante grande en ciertos aspectos como por ejemplo como es el carácter de la gente aquí, son muy desconfiados y en ocasiones pueden llegar a ser demasiado fríos pero cuando hablas con ellos y te relacionas son bastante majos. Tambien he conocido a mucha gente de España y de otro países como Holanda, Grecia, Italia, Rusia y la verdad es que con ellos estoy muy bien, salimos siempre a hacer muchos planes como visitar sitios turísticos, ir a tomar algo o ir de fiesta, la verdad es que son gente muy maja. Hace cosa de 2 semanas visité Letonia y pase allí el fin de semana con una amiga y estuvo muy bien, fue un viaje que repetiría seguro en un futuro y dentro de poco tenemos planeado ir a Helsinki para encontrarnos allí los de Erasmus de las Javerianas.

En general todo muy bien y muy contento aunque echo de menos a mi familia y amigos de España 😃"

ERASMUS in Dublin, Ireland

Valentina and Wendy are enjoying their time in Dublin while doing their work traineeship. They have been lucky and the arrived in Ireland Just in time to be able to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with the Irish and following their traditions.


Here you have some of the reflections that Wendy and Valentina have done:

"I've been here a month now and I think I'm used to the city, the transport and the people.

Fun fact: there are a lot of people who speak Spanish in the city whether they are from Spain or South America. In general, shops close quite early, with the exception of supermarkets (some) and bars. The weather is crazy but I'm used to it. They love to ride bikes everywhere. The city is really beautiful and whenever I'm walking I find something new to see.”


"I have visited the Cliffs of Moher and also Galway, a small coastal town in the west of Ireland. It has been an interesting experience."

Comienzan las movilidades ERASMUS+

En estos últimos días hemos estado revisando y firmando los Convenios de Subvención de nuestros alumnos Erasmus del curso 2021-2022.

Retomamos con mucha ilusión estas movilidades después de los dos años de pandemia, y aunque todavía tenemos que ser precavidos, estamos muy contentos desde la Escuela Profesional Javeriana de que nuestros alumnos puedan volver a tener la posibilidad de disfrutar de una experiencia Erasmus.



During the last few days we have been revising and signing the Grant Agreements of our 2021-2022 Erasmus students.

We aire very happy to resume these mobilities after two long years of pandemia, and even though we still have to be careful, we are very excited at the Escuela Profesional Javeriana since our students are able to have and enjoy such a wonderful experience thanks to the Erasmus+ Programme.

ERASMUS 2020-2021

 


Hello everyone!

As you may know, we are back on track with the Erasmus+ Programme. Even though we are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, we are still hopeful and we want to provide our students with the best opportunities that they could have while they study with us.

Usually, by this time of the year we are in the midst of interviews with the different companies that collaborate with us; but since we couldn't do the selection process last April due to a whole country lockdown and ending the school year online without being able to see our students at least once before the summer holidays, we are doing it now.

All students in their second year at the EPJ are welcomed to start the selection process. To do so, you need to send the following documents to the ERASMUS e-mail from the Escuela Profesional Javeriana:

  • Your CV (Curriculum Vitae) in English following the EUROPASS format
  • Cover Letter / Presentation Letter explaining why you want to be an Erasmus student from the EPJ.
  • Document by the bank or family members stating that you have either enough savings or that they are willing to help you economically through the three months that internships last

All documents must be submitted by Friday 30th of October at 23:59.

We are contacting the companies and establishments that usually collaborate with us to see how they are doing after their respectives lockdowns and hoping that they are being safe and wishing them the best. Thankfully, most of them are back to business as normal, without any major incidents!

As soon as we have all the documents, we will start the process of interviewing with each candidate and assessing their English level in order to make the final decision.

Good luck!

10 years being ERASMUS+

Ten years ago we sent our first Erasmus students on an adventure, but it wasn't only an adventure for them, it was also for us, the ones that stayed behind making sure that their experience was going well and being their homebase in case something went wrong.

We can definitely say that the beginnings weren't easy: the administrative work in order to be and Erasmus+ institution, looking for companies that would welcome our students during three months to do practice work, but also to advise them in any doubts they could have about living in that foreign country, and so many more hurdles...

We are happy to say that, in one way or another, we have been able to send students to many different countries: Ireland, the UK, North Macedonia, Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia, Estonia... And we are getting ready to collaborate on a whole other level with other institutions.

In addition, we cannot forget to mention that the Erasmus+ programme not only has enriched the experiences of our students while doing their practice work abroad, it has also been an opportunity for us teachers. Firstly, because we have had to keep in mind that the learning process has to contemplate the global world and society we live in, but also it has allowed some of us to travel and see how other places work and what we can learn from them.

In conclusion, we are overjoyed with how these 10 years been part of the ERASMUS+ programme have made us improve ourselves, and we cannot wait to see what the next 10 years have in store for us!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE EP JAVERIANA ON THIS ACHIEVEMENT!

AN EXICITING VISIT ALL THE WAY FROM CROATIA!

Some of you may know that the last few years we have been able to send some of our students abroad to do their trainships through the ERASMUS+ programme. A few years ago, a couple of our students from Dietetics were able to do this in Croatia at the POLYTECHNIC IN POŽEGA where they had a very good and enriching experience. And it's through this collaboration that we have been able to meet Valentina here in Madrid.



Valentina came to Escuela Profesional Javeriana in order to meet us (since we have only been in contact through e-mail) and to see if we could develop our relationship a little bit more. Valentina's visit started with a tour of our school and explaining a little bit more how we work and what are our main objectives and our students' profile. It's a that moment that we realized that our schools are more similar than what we thought!




We took the oportunity offered by Valentina and decided that it would be great if she could present her place of work (POLYTECHNIC IN POŽEGA) to our sencond year students since this upcoming summer they will graduate and they are currently thinking about what their future is going to be like. Their courses looked very interesting and our students seem very intrigued since we learnt that they produce their own wine!

After all these presentations, we took the time to talk about about what we could do for each other. These talks have been very productive and we are just in the final stages just reading through the final agreement in order to sign it. The conclusions that we came to are:
  • Each year a couple of Croatian students can come to Madrid to do their trainships, since we would look for companies that could host them.
  • Also, they could host a couple of our students for their trainships, since their biology programmes are a perfect fit for our Dietetics students.
We hope that this collaboration will last for a long time and that we can do projects together in the future!

Valentina! Thank you for your visit, we hope that you could also enjoy Madrid and all it has to offer! Let's meet soon!





Como a algunos de vosotros os sonará, desde hace unos años hemos podido mandar a algunos de nuestros alumnos al extranjero para hacer sus prácticas (FCT) gracias al programa ERASMUS+. Hace unos años, un par de nuestros alumnos de Dietética pudieron realizar sus FCT en Croacia en la POLITÉCNICA DE POŽEGA en donde tuvieron una gran y enriquecedora experiencia. Y es gracias a esta colaboración que hemos podido conocer a Valentina aquí en Madrid.

Valentina vino a visitarnos a la Escuela Profesional Javeriana para conocernos (dado que solo habíamos estado en contacto a través de e-mails) y para ver si podíamos dar un paso más en nuestra colaboración entre ambas instituciones. La visita de Valentina empezó con un pequeño tour de nuestra escuela para conocernos un poco mejor y le explicamos como funcionamos, cuales son  nuestros principales objetivos y el perfil de nuestros alumnos. ¡Fue en ese momento en el que nos dimos cuenta de que nuestras instituciones se parecen más de lo que pensábamos!


Aprovechamos la oportunidad que nos ofreció Valentina de presentar a nuestros alumnos de segundo curso la Politécnica de Pozega dado que ellos esté próximo verano se graduarán y ya están pensando en cuales van a ser sus próximos pasos de cara a su futuro. Los cursos que oferta la Politécnica nos perecieron muy interesantes y nuestros alumnos quedaron muy intrigados cuando supimos que ¡allí producen su propio vino!

Después de todas estas presentaciones, aprovechamos todo el tiempo que tuvimos disponible para hablar de qué podemos ofrecer cada institución para que nuestros alumnos tengan la mejor experiencia posible. Fuimos muy productivos y ya solo nos queda leer el acuerdo y firmarlo tras llegar a las siguientes conclusiones:

  • Cada año un par de estudiantes croatas podrán venir a Madrid a realizar sus prácticas en empresas, dado que nosotros nos encargaremos de buscar las empresas para ellos.
  • Del mismo modo, la Politécnica  podrá a coger a un par de nuestros alumnos dado que sus programas de la rama biológica serían perfectos para nuestros alumnos de Dietética.
¡Esperamos que esta colaboración dure por muchos años y que podamos hacer  muchos proyectos juntos!

¡Valentina! Muchas gracias por tu visita y esperamos que también pudieses disfrutar de Madrid y de todo lo que puede ofrecer. ¡Ojalá nos podamos ver pronto!
