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

Internships in European countries: Erasmus+ traineeship
Erasmus+ traineeship mobility allows students to carry out internships at companies, training centres, and research centres located in one of the participating countries. The program allows students to undertake full-time internships abroad, recognized as an integral part of their study program. The internship may also be carried out after graduation, provided that the selection takes place before obtaining the degree. The number of months of mobility is added to those of Erasmus study periods, up to the maximum allowed by the program.

https://www.uniroma1.it/it/pagina/civis-mobilityStudy periods in non-EU countries: Overseas Program
Thanks to funding provided by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and its own internal resources, Sapienza offers each year the opportunity to spend a study period—attending examinations or conducting thesis research—at one of more than 200 non-EU institutions with which bilateral agreements are in force. Overseas mobility includes a monthly grant of €700 net for the first 5 months and €500 net from the 6th month onward. The stay abroad, which must be continuous, cannot be shorter than 90 days and may last up to a maximum of 2 consecutive semesters. The grant may be used only once per study cycle, and it is not compatible with other Sapienza funding.

The Erasmus+ ICM program, funded by the European Commission, allows students and teaching staff to spend a study/research period for thesis work or a teaching/training period in non-EU countries and provides a scholarship and coverage of travel expenses. All activities carried out abroad will be recognized upon return by the competent Sapienza faculty members, as established in the Learning Agreement. Student mobility may have a minimum duration of 3 up to 6 months (possibly extendable up to a maximum of 12 months, with the final 6 months without scholarship—Zero-EU Grant mode). The ICM grant also covers research mobility at doctoral level for the same duration. Travel expenses are calculated through the Distance Calculator based on the distance between the city of the home institution and the city of the host institution.

https://www.uniroma1.it/it/pagina/coasit-melbourne-e-sydney
Sapienza University of Rome, in agreement with the Coasit of Melbourne and Sydney, offers assistantship grants for teaching Italian in schools in the states of Victoria and New South Wales. The call is addressed to graduates of a master’s degree from the Faculty of Humanities who obtained their degree no more than 12 months earlier. Knowledge of English is essential, as well as availability to begin service in Australia starting from April, and possession of a certification for teaching Italian as a foreign language.
International study track
Sapienza promotes the creation, within its study programs, of integrated study pathways with one or more foreign universities, allowing students to attend part of their studies—corresponding to at least one semester—with the acquisition of at least 30 ECTS at one or more partner universities. At the end of the pathway, students obtain, in addition to the degree awarded by Sapienza, the degree awarded by the host university or universities.
Mobility grants for integrated study programs follow the rules of the Erasmus+ EU program or those established in specific university calls.
