You can enrich your academic career with an international experience. You have several opportunities to choose from, depending on your interests and your status as a student: you can participate in the Erasmus+ project or you can spend a period abroad as a "Free mover".
Erasmus+
Thanks to the Erasmus + program, you can spend a period of study (from three to twelve months) or carry out an internship / traineeship (from two to six months) in organisations, companies, or institutes in countries of the European Union and even outside the EU.
During the Erasmus + study stay, you can attend university courses, obtaining credits for the exams and didactic activities carried out, or prepare the degree thesis.
The Erasmus Traineeship international mobility project allows you to carry out internships in companies, training and research centres located in one of the countries participating in the programme.
For more information on Erasmus+, calls for applications, and international agreements, please visit the dedicated page on the University’s website.
Free mover
You can also spend a period of study abroad outside the Erasmus + Program by joining the Free mover initiative. This is an opportunity connected to your specific interests, regardless of the institutional exchanges already activated in the context of Erasmus. Both university students (outgoing Free-Mover students) and students from other universities (Visiting Students) can participate.
The "Free mover" project does not establish a minimum and / or maximum period of stay abroad and there are no deadlines for submitting the application.
In addition, the Free mover program for projects allows students to participate in group Free mover experiences abroad, taking part in educational and cultural exchange activities. Students are accompanied to foreign universities by a UPO faculty member.
Learn more about the Free Mover programs on the dedicated page of the University’s website.
