Modern integration processes taking place in the world also affect the higher education system. Currently, a single world educational space is being formed, which is expressed, first of all, in the harmonization of educational approaches, standards, curricula at universities in different countries of the world. Understanding the benefits of developing the mobility to increase the competitiveness of universities and countries, to form a single labor market, European governments consider academic mobility as the main task and tool of the Bologna process
In recent years, in our country much attention has been paid to the academic exchange of students, teachers and administrative staff of universities. This is because academic mobility is one of the most important areas of the process of integrating Kyrgyz universities into the international educational space.
Academic mobility is not a process of migration from one country to another. Individual academic mobility refers to the temporary transfer of a student or employee for a certain period to another educational institution (in his country or abroad) to study, teach, conduct research or further training, after which the student, teacher, researcher or administrator returns to his main educational institution.
The main goal of mobility is to provide the student with the opportunity to receive education in the chosen field of study, provide him/her with access to recognized knowledge centers where leading scientific schools are formed, and to develop student knowledge in various fields of culture.
An important aspect of academic mobility is also knowledge of a foreign language. A student arriving at a foreign university for an internship under an exchange program must be fluent in either English or the language of the host country.
