Partner Universities

Destination universities are available in the new interactive platform: www.unipd.it/mobility-agreements

You must select your course of study from the Study field drop-down menu. In the platform, the total number of months indicated under Number for each agreement must be divided by the number of available places indicated under Total number.

It is necessary to carefully read any notes on the portal and to read the fact sheets available on the Moodle page and on the website of the universities, paying particular attention to the language requirements and the academic offer.

After having chosen the destination(s) for which you intend to apply, It is necessary to note down all relevant information (e.g. Erasmus code, Academic Coordinator, ISCED/area of study) in order to select the correct destination in Uniweb.

Important: it is only possible to apply only for destinations that appear on the interactive destination portal as being linked to your Degree course (or to the Master's Degree Course you intend to enroll in for candidates in their third year of a bachelor degree course). Applications for destinations not intended for your Degree course will be automatically excluded.

  Application process
