International mobility

The Student Services Office, in collaboration with the International Office, promotes the full participation of students with disabilities or learning difficulties in international mobility programmes, as study periods or internships abroad complete a university education and foster greater independence. The Student Services Office organizes specific initiatives for incoming international and current University of Padova students who wish to participate in an exchange programme. These initiatives aim to make your study experience abroad not only possible but also fulfilling, regardless of your disability, learning difficulty, or vulnerability.

  Mobility from Padova to other countries - Erasmus outgoing

The Student Services Office provides, by request, an overview of exchange programmes and specific information on additional EU funds for disability, learning difficulties and/or health conditions. Students who wish to participate in an exchange programme can contact the Student Services Office:

- for help choosing the destination and university;
- for help with the international mobility application procedures;
- to establish relations with the host university in order to organize the services you will need for your entire period abroad;

Students who have been awarded an Erasmus+ grant may also request assistance in completing the application for additional EU funding for students with disabilities participating in international mobility programmes (only for Erasmus+ study or traineeship programmes). In order to apply for these additional funds, you must complete the appropriate forms and send them to the office's email address (inclusione.studenti@unipd.it) no later than:

30 June for students leaving in the first semester
15 September for students leaving in the second semester

It is therefore necessary to contact our office well in advance.

  International mobility to Padova - Erasmus incoming

International students with disabilities, learning difficulties or other vulnerabilities can request personalised supports (qui va inserito questo link: https://www.unipd.it/en/inclusion-support-lesson-attendance-individual-s...) provided by the Inclusion Sector during their stay in Padua, by communicating their condition to the Student Services Office. This notification can be made in person or through the relevant offices of their home University.

The documentation to be submitted in order to request personalised supports is as follows:
- documentation relating to your health condition/disability/learning difficulty, in English
- your study plan with the courses you plan to take in Italy
- Individual Plan from your home university, i.e. a list of individual needs (use of aids and/or personalised methods for attending classes and taking exams) in English

Special accommodation needs must be stated when you register online with either the SASSA service or ESU Accommodation. If you need 24-hour assistance, you can apply to live with a friend or course-mate; this must also be stated in the online accommodation application form. The website of the National Agency for Erasmus+ in your home country should be consulted to see whether the exchange programme allows you to apply for additional EU funding.
