Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to explore Erasmus incoming students' expectations and core competences development during their period of stay abroad. Competences were analysed regarding European framework on key competences for lifelong learning. Using qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the exploratory research was carried out in two stages, namely at the beginning of the semester (to analyse expectations) and at the end of the semester (to analyse core competences development). Our main findings were that Erasmus student expect and perceive they develop more their linguistic, cultural and professional competences and less their mathematical, scientific and technological competences.
