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
For the application procedure and related forms, see the materials avaialble on the Moodle page and on the webpages.
The application must contain the mandatory attachments (some destinations may require additional requirements and documents. Any additional requirements and documents required are listed in the destination notes of the interactive portal):
It is recommended to attend the information meetings or consult the information materials on the Moodle page for further details on how to fill out the attachments and the application.
Admission and selection criteria
As well as the general criteria indicated in the Erasmus+ mobility for studies Call, there are also criteria specific to each School, available in the file below.
For the 2025/2026 call these criteria will be valid for all Erasmus+Study and SEMP School destinations, except for the University destinations for which the University selection criteria will be used, available at the https://www.unipd.it/en/erasmus-studies-out.
Language competence
Adequate knowledge of the language of the destination country is recommended and a B1 threshold level in the language of the courses offered at the host university is a prerequisite for participation in Erasmus+ mobility.
At the application stage, unless otherwise indicated in the destination notes on the interactive portal, a language certification is not compulsorily required. If the candidate does not have a certificate, he/she can self-certify his/her language level using the drop-down menu in the Uniweb application form. If the candidate has language certification, he/she can attach it to the application.
For many destinations, a language certificate will be required by the host University at the time of application. Successful students must check on the website of the host University the language requirements and certifications (if required).
For the University destinations, a language certification will be compulsorily required at the application stage; the minimum level required for each destination is indicated on the notes on the interactive portal. Please consult the https://www.unipd.it/en/erasmus-studies-out for the list of accepted certifications.
