International experiences
Sapienza offers a wide range of opportunities for studying, conducting research, and completing internships abroad: both within and outside Europe, for short or extended periods, thesis research abroad, and much more.
Study Periods in European Countries: Erasmus+
Erasmus+ promotes transnational cooperation among higher education institutions and funds study mobility (SMS) in all disciplines and levels of study, including PhD programmes. It also supports the academic recognition of studies within the European Higher Education Area. Through Erasmus+, students can attend courses and take exams that are fully recognised in their academic record, or conduct research for their master’s or doctoral thesis abroad.

Internships in European Countries: Erasmus+ Traineeships
The Erasmus+ traineeship programme provides students with the opportunity to complete internships at companies, training centres, or research institutions located in participating countries. These full-time internships abroad are recognised as an integral part of the student’s degree programme. Internships can also be carried out after graduation, provided that the selection process takes place before the degree is awarded. The total mobility period can include both study and traineeship experiences, up to the programme’s maximum duration.

Study Periods in Non-EU Countries: Overseas Programme
Thanks to funding from the Italian Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR) and Sapienza’s own resources, each year students can spend a study or thesis research period at one of over 200 non-EU partner institutions with which Sapienza has bilateral agreements. The Overseas Programme provides a monthly grant of €700 (net) for the first 5 months and €500 (net) from the 6th month onward. Stays abroad must last at least 90 consecutive days but may not exceed 2 consecutive semesters. Each student may receive this grant only once per degree cycle, and it cannot be combined with other Sapienza funding.

Study or Research Periods in Non-EU Countries: Erasmus+ KA171 International Credit Mobility - ICM
Funded by the European Commission, the Erasmus+ ICM programme allows students and faculty staff to spend a period abroad for study, thesis research, teaching, or training in non-EU countries. Participants receive a scholarship and travel reimbursement, and all activities completed abroad are recognised by Sapienza upon return, as established in the Learning Agreement. Student mobility lasts from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 6 months (which may be extended up to 12 months, with the last 6 months under the “Zero-EU Grant” option). The ICM grant also covers PhD research mobility for the same duration. Travel expenses are calculated using the official Distance Calculator, based on the distance between the home and host universities.

***Course of Study activities***
The Erasmus+ programme represents the excellence at an international level of the Department of Philosophy, promoting the exchange of students as well as lecturers (Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility) between European universities for all three levels of study (Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD). Whilst the Erasmus+ grants allow people to study abroad (known as Erasmus+) and to train abroad (Erasmus+ Traineeship), they also allow people to complete their thesis abroad, which can vary from 3 to 12 months, for each level of study, at any one of the more than 500 universities who partner with Sapienza across Europe. Approximately 2,000 grants are available as a result of more than 1,500 bilateral agreements which Sapienza has signed with European universities since 1987. More information is available at:

The Degree Programme in Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence is committed to expanding the opportunities for international collaboration and exchange, specifically through Erasmus+ bilateral agreements, and mainly with European universities, in order to extend the educational possibilities. The Programme has assessed the existing agreements with foreign partner institutions and is considering agreeing new ones with the aim of creating a more consistent, multi-disciplinary yet specific curriculum, given the Programme’s outstanding originality and innovation. Following a recent assessment of the existing Erasmus+ agreements and after a specific request made to certain partners to open mobility opportunities for students on the Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence Programme, the following universities signed up to the initiative:
- Université Catholique de Louvain
- Université de Lucerne
- Freie Universitat Berlin
- Ecole Normale Supèrieure de Lyon
- Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej
In addition, two specific agreements have been activated or reinstated for students on the Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence Programme with the following institutions:
- Osnabrück University/Cognitive Science
- MCI - Management Center Innsbruck G.M.B.H
The new Overseas Programme also funds study periods abroad at non-European universities with which Sapienza has inter-university bilateral agreements. The Faculty of Humanities and Philosophy, and the Department of Philosophy are involved in this framework under various agreements. More information is available at: https://www.uniroma1.it/it/pagina/programma-overseas
Finally, considering the nature and multi-disciplinary purpose of the Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence Programme, many CIVIS institutions, in partnership with Sapienza, are open to mobility opportunities for students on this Degree Programme, and at least one of the Overseas locations, with the Sun Yan Sen University in Kaohsiung (Taiwan).
