International experience
Sapienza offers numerous opportunities for study, research and internships abroad: in Europe and outside Europe, for short stays or longer periods, theses abroad and much more.
Study periods in European countries: Erasmus+
Erasmus+ promotes transnational cooperation between higher education institutions; it funds mobility for study purposes (SMS) in all disciplines and at all levels of study (including doctoral studies) and promotes the academic recognition of studies within the European Higher Education Area. The Erasmus+ programme allows students to attend courses and pass exams, with full recognition in their academic curriculum, or to carry out research for the preparation of their bachelor's or doctoral thesis.

Internships in European countries: Erasmus+ traineeship Erasmus+ traineeship mobility allows you to undertake traineeships in companies, training and research centres based in one of the participating countries. The programme allows you to carry out full-time internships abroad, recognised as an integral part of your study programme. The internship can also be carried out after graduation, provided that the selection takes place before the degree is awarded. The number of months of mobility is added to those of the Erasmus study periods, up to the maximum allowed by the programme.

Study or research periods in non-EU countries: Erasmus+ KA171 international credit - mobility programme - ICM
The Erasmus+ ICM programme, funded by the European Commission, allows students and teachers to spend a period of study/research for their thesis or teaching/training in non-EU countries and provides a scholarship and travel expenses. All activities undertaken abroad will be recognised upon return from mobility by the relevant Sapienza teachers, as established in the Learning Agreement. Student mobility can last from a minimum of 3 to 6 months (extendable to a maximum of 12 months, the last 6 months without a scholarship - Zero-EU Grant modality). The ICM scholarship also covers mobility for PhD research for the same duration. Travel expenses are calculated using the Distance Calculator based on the distance between the city of the home university and the city of the host university.
