Ulisse

Italian version

The University of Padua promotes student mobility towards non-European Countries within mobility agreements signed with selected Universities. The new Ulisse Programme enables students to spend a study, a thesis research or an internship period abroad at partner Universities from five different continents (Europe, Americas, Asia, Australia, Africa).
The recognition of the activities carried out abroad is ensured by the Learning Agreement. You must sign the Learning Agreement before your departure and keep it up-to-date during your mobility period.

  Grants

Destinations can be financed by University or Department funding.

For University destinations, the University provides grants and flat-rate reimbursements for travel expenses.

For Department destinations there are three options:

  • grants and flat-rate reimbursements for travel expenses provided by University funding (maximum 2 destinations per Department);
  • funding provided by the Department;
  • expenses to be borne by students.

The destinations with/without grants or with different kinds of grants are announced through separate Calls. All funding options for each destination as well as the degree programmes involved are specified in the factsheets annexed to the Call for applications.

  Study abroad outside Europe

Student mobility towards non-EU countries is also supported through the Erasmus+ Programme, "Erasmus + mobility for study beyond Europe Call". This call allows for a mobility period from 60 days up to 12 months per each study cycle (1st cycle: three-year, 2nd cycle: master's, 3rd cycle: doctorate). Selected students can benefit of an Erasmus+ scholarship and have the opportunity to follow courses and use the facilities of host universities without further enrollment fees. Full recognition of the courses taken abroad is also guaranteed, provided these courses are approved through a dedicated Learning Agreement.
