Online language support OLS
OLS is one of the main innovations of the Erasmus+ programme, for destination countries where the working language is one of the following: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.
All students have to take a test to assess their language skills.
The result of the test is not binding for participation in the Erasmus programme (in the event that a candidate has already been selected by a host university), but the candidate may be offered free participation in an online language course.
At the end of the mobility, the student will again take a test to check the targeted improvement in his/her language skills. The data collected will be used to assess the impact of the programme on the improvement of the participants’ language skills.
