Studying abroad is a key aspect of Erasmus+. Experience has shown that it has a positive impact on participants' career prospects. It also allows them to improve their language skills, become more autonomous and independent, and immerse themselves in another culture.

Students enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral programs can take advantage of these opportunities.

Are you a UniRC student and want to study abroad? 

The University of Reggio Calabria offers you the opportunity to do so thanks to the Erasmus+ for Study program.

From your first year of studies, you can spend a period of study in a Program Country or a Partner Country, attending classes and taking exams. Study mobility also allows for research for your thesis, which will be useful for obtaining your degree.

There are two types of Study Mobility:

• Erasmus+ Study Long term ( Student Mobility for Study – SMS) which promotes the carrying out of exams and/or research activities for thesis, lasting a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 12 months .
• Erasmus+ Studio Short-Term ( Student Mobility for Traineeships – SMP) promotes the completion of exams and/or research activities for thesis, lasting a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 30 days . This action requires a virtual component that can be carried out before, during, and after through online courses, seminars, introductions, and specifics of the work to be designed/carried out. The virtual component is not mandatory for 3rd cycle students.

Where can you go?

You can view the Erasmus+ Bilateral Agreements, which list the locations where students can spend their study mobility period.

How will your academic work be recognized?

First of all you will have to structure a Learning Agreement for Study , a real "learning contract".

Your proposal must be submitted for approval to the Erasmus Delegate of your department and the Coordinator of your Degree Programme.

You'll then submit your proposal to the host university. Once approved, you'll have defined the training plan you'll follow.

Upon your return, the host university will issue you the Transcript of Records (TOR) . This document will contain your results, which will be sent to the Department for recognition.
