Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs)

Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs)

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

What opportunities are currently available? 

The next group of BIPs running from January to June 2026 will be advertised on this page from early October.

To get an idea of the types of opportunities available please look at the ENLIGHT courses page: Courses blended intensive programme (Erasmus+ or SEMP funding). All courses may be counted towards your degree and are taught in English.

If you would like to be informed about short-term international experiences such as virtual learning and BIPs, or further work of ENLIGHT, please sign up to our ENLIGHT student mailing list here: https://forms.office.com/e/MzKCTufvz9
