SEMP - Swiss European Mobility Programme
Following the Swiss government's acceptance of the results of the popular referendum against mass immigration on 9 February 2014, the European Union and the Swiss authorities have decided to suspend negotiations on Switzerland's participation in Erasmus+. Switzerland is therefore ineligible for mobility actions for students and teachers under the Erasmus+ syllabus.
A transitional solution was therefore developed by establishing the Swiss European Mobility Programme to which the University has adhered with ad hoc agreements that provide for the mobility of those studying at the University of Padua to Swiss universities.
deadline: January 15, 2026, 1 p.m.
Submission of the application from 4 December 2025.
Students regularly enrolled (at the time of submission of the application and before departure) at the University of Padova in a first-cycle/Bachelor's degree course, a Master's or Master's degree, a Master's degree or a single-cycle Master's degree, a PhD.
You need to:
- be in compliance with the enrolment in the a.y. relating to the period of stay abroad and with the payment of taxes
- students enrolled in the A.Y. 2025/26 in the first year of a three-year or single-cycle degree (e.g. Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacy, Law, etc.): can apply, except for specific restrictions defined by the Schools or Departments. It is then necessary to acquire at least 40 credits (registered) before departure, otherwise you will not be cleared to leave
- For those enrolled in subsequent years: have acquired at least 40 credits registered at the time of submission of the application. Those enrolled in the Master's degree and those attending a PhD, automatically meet this requirement having already completed the Bachelor's and/or Master's degree.
