Students of Lodz University of Technology are increasingly taking advantage of innovative learning opportunities offered by ECIU University – in the past two years, they have completed nearly 700 micro-modules and challenges, and have visited other ECIU university campuses more than 120 times! What’s more, Lodz University of Technology regularly ranks first among ECIU universities in terms of the number of participants in educational modules.
In the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 academic years, our students completed a total of 695 ECIU micro-modules and challenges, including 558 micro-modules and 137 challenges.
Although most of the courses completed by our students were conducted online, more and more students are also choosing blended learning modules, combining online study with on-campus experience at partner universities. In total, over the past two academic years, TUL students have visited ECIU universities 121 times for educational purposes.
In the 2023/2024 academic year, our students took part in 34 mobilities to partner universities, while in 2024/2025 – as many as 87 mobilities!
For comparison, in the first academic year of our full ECIU membership (2022/2023), only one TUL student took part in a micro-module (delivered online), and five students completed a challenge held on campus at the University of Twente.
We believe that the coming years will bring even more mobilities, completed micro-modules and challenges, and that TUL students will fully benefit from the unique opportunities offered by ECIU University.
If you are a student and would like to start your adventure with ECIU University, we encourage you to explore the catalogue of available modules on the ECIU Engage platform and watch our videos with practical information about ECIU.
