The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is a new educational initiative under the Erasmus+ programme. It is a short-term hybrid mobility defined as “a short-term physical presence abroad lasting between a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 30 days, supplemented by any amount of virtual learning before or after the physical mobility.”

The Faculty offers several BIPs:
- BIP-Customer Relationship Management (ELMSM419, 6 credits) for Master’s students (in Management Sciences or Management Engineering, specializing in Advanced Marketing). This program is organized among three universities: LIUC Universita Cattaneo (Italy), Häme University of Applied Sciences (Finland), Saarland University of Applied Sciences (Germany), and the University of Namur.

Testimonials from students and a professor
A unique experience on a professional, personal, and cultural level. I learned how to work with international students, communicate in English, appreciate our cultural differences, and step outside my comfort zone. Plus, having this experience in Italy, with the weather, the cuisine, and the local architecture... How lucky we were to have this experience!
In just a few days, this program offers an experience that is as intense as it is enriching. It allows us to travel, meet incredible people, discover new cultures, and visit companies—all while taking an extremely interesting course. Unforgettable memories guaranteed!

From my own experience, I found it exceptional. From an educational standpoint, it was very impactful because the students were exposed to several academics discussing the same subject with them, but from different, culturally rooted perspectives, methods, and approaches. The students loved it. The human experience was just incredible. The students worked together on projects (we mixed nationalities), practiced listening to other cultures, and learned how to collaborate. Some are still in touch today. Personally, I thought it was great to be immersed in a modern, multicultural work environment. It takes time, but it’s worth it. We also visited companies together, some commercial, others social. LIUC also organized more social activities for us, which brought the group closer together. In conclusion: a very positive evaluation!
