Visit of the delegation of University of Poitier (France) to University of Banja Luka

The delegation of the Faculty of Literature, University of Poitier, paid a visit to the University of Banja Luka on May 15th 2015, and were hosted by the management of the University and representatives of the French Department, Faculty of Philology.



It was pointed out how much appreciated were efforts of the University of Poitier in fostering the cooperation with the University, especially with the French Department, this cooperation having been recently renewed by the permission of the Senate of the University.

For their part, the representatives of the University of Poitier informed the management of the University on the steps they were, in cooperation with the Faculty of Philology, willing to take with a view to improving and innovating the curriculum of the French Department.



As they explained, this would lead to greater compatibility with the matching department of the University of Poitier, as well as with other French Departments across the European Union, making it significantly easier for the students from Banja Luka to continue their education at master and PhD degree studies. Having that in mind, some steps have already been taken, with the University of Poitier having offered a specific scholarship for our students, allowing one of them to spend a semester at a master degree course at University of Poitier as of September this year.

Finally, mutual projects within the scope of Erasmus+ programmes were discussed as well.
