International experiences

Sapienza offers numerous opportunities for study, research and internships abroad: in Europe and outside Europe, for short stays or longer periods, dissertations abroad and much more.

Study periods in European countries: Erasmus+
Erasmus+ promotes transnational cooperation between higher education institutions; it finances mobility for study purposes (SMS) in all disciplines and levels of study (doctorate included) and encourages the academic recognition of studies within the European Higher Education Area. The Erasmus+ programme enables students to attend courses and pass examinations, with full recognition in their academic curriculum, or to carry out research for the preparation of their degree or Phd thesis.

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

Periods of study or research in non-EU countries: Erasmus+ Programme KA171 international credit mobility - ICM
The Erasmus+ ICM programme, financed by the European Commission, allows students and lecturers to spend a period of study/research for their thesis or teaching/training in non-EU countries and provides a grant and coverage of travel expenses. All activities incurred abroad will be recognised on return from mobility by the competent Sapienza lecturers, as established in the Learning Agreement. Student mobility may last from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 6 months (which may be extended to a maximum of 12 months, of which the last 6 months without a grant - Zero-EU Grant mode). The ICM grant also covers PhD-level research mobility for the same duration. Travel expenses are calculated using the Distance Calculator on the basis of the distance to be travelled between the city of the university of origin and the city of the university of destination.
