"Many young people and students dream about studying abroad, participating in various programs and living in foreign countries. The most effective way for them to make these dreams come true is to join student exchange programs. Erasmus is the most popular student exchange program, from which young people can benefit the most. Baku Higher Oil School launched the Erasmus proqramı to provide young people with quality higher education, as well as to teach them specialized academic knowledge and social skills. Given that all BHOS students are comprehensively educated young people, it is not easy for us to choose students for this program. That is why we choose the best of the best."

Noting that BHOS students studying in European universities represent Azerbaijan and Baku Higher Oil School in Europe, the rector advised the students to represent their country and university honorably abroad.

The BHOS successfully cooperates with a number of European universities within the Erasmus+ student exchange program. As part of the cooperation, seven BHOS students will study at a number of universities in Spain, Portugal and Greece during the spring semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The Erasmus+ program will cover the students’ travel, accommodation and daily expenses.
