Apply to Erasmus

Italian version

By applying to Erasmus+ for Studies Programme it is possible to spend a period between 2 and 12 months within an academic year at a partner University either within or outside of Europe.

Destinations include the Arqus Alliance partner Universities - Granada, Graz, Leipzig, Lyon, Maynooth, Minho, Vilnius and Wroclaw (Open Arqus Mobility).

The mobility grant for the Erasmus+ for Studies in Europe, according to the Erasmus Programme (2021/2027), varies from €250 to 350 monthly based on the destination, while for the destinations beyond Europe it is €700  monthly.

Students are required to independently consult the websites of partner universities to check the academic courses on offer, language prerequisites and, once having accepted the place, inform themselves on the procedures and planned deadlines in place for incoming Erasmus students. To view the selection procedures please consult the Mobility Unit Desks.

For students who in the a.y. 2024/25  are enrolled in their first year of Bachelor’s degrees or single-cycle Master’s degrees (for example, Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacy, Law etc.):

1) for the first call (deadline: 16/01/2024  at 13:00): all first year-students can apply, unless there are specific restrictions laid out by their School or Department;

2) for the second call (deadline: 09/04/2024 at 13:00): it is necessary to have achieved at least 15 credits (registered on Uniweb) at the time of application, unless there are specific restrictions outlined by their School or Department.

It is then necessary to have gained at least 40 credits (registered on Uniweb) before the departure, otherwise the mobility cannot take place.
Students enrolled in Bachelor’s degrees or single-cycle Master’s degrees from the second year on are required to have at least 40 credits registered on Uniweb at the time of the application. Master’s students and PhD candidates automatically satisfy this condition, given that they have already completed at least a Bachelor’s degree.

Students must follow the requisites of participation outlined in the call, as well as the criteria given by Schools and Departments.

  Choice of destinations and Selection Criteria of Schools and Departments

As well as the general rules that apply to the Call, students carefully should refer to the Mobility Unity desk at  Schools/Departments webpage for specific criteria as well as the list of available destinations.

ATTENTION: in choosing the destination it is recommended that students carefully inspect the academic courses on offer at the Receiving Institution and consider their compatibility with their own study plan, language prerequisites, deadlines for the application form and the entry and residency requirements of the country in question; often, in fact, these issues can prevent the departure.

Mobility places to UK Institutions with which the University of Padua has active agreements are also included in the call for applications.
Please pay attention to the UK entry rules regarding visa and health insurance available on the pages of the partner universities or the British government. Costs related to visa, insurance, or other requirements to enter the UK are not covered by the mobility grants.
