Italian Erasmus

The Italian Erasmus project facilitates the undertaking of study periods and the completion of training activities, including examinations, internships, and thesis work, at partner universities across Italy. This initiative fosters the development of innovative and multidisciplinary educational pathways.

The duration of the mobility programme is a minimum of three months and a maximum of six months.

The destinations and courses of study are determined by the agreements concluded with the partner universities.

Participants in the national mobility scheme are selected according to the criteria set out in the call for applications published annually by the University. For the winners of the selection process, scholarships are awarded on the basis of the conditions defined in the call for applications.
