Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs)

ENLIGHT Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) allow credits to be gained towards your University of Galway degree programme while taking part in an international experience. BIPs combine online learning and up to one week of face-to-face learning at one of our partner universities with students from across Europe. Eligible students can apply for Erasmus+ funding to help cover the costs of participation in the on-site element.
