Outgoing Erasmus+ study

Erasmus+ for study is a program that offers the possibility of studying abroad in one of the participating states in the mobility program and provides a grant to eligible students to help them make the most of the experience.

You are eligible to apply if:

• you are regularly enrolled in UniGe
• you are enrolled for single courses leading to admission to master’s degree courses (known as a carriera ponte)
• you fulfil the admission prerequisites for each exchange as established by the foreign Institution and by the individual departments of UniGe at the time the application is submitted

Your Erasmus may last from 3 to 12 months.

Get in contact with your Internationalisation Tutor to set the exact dates of your stay and the classes you will take. Make sure to check the teaching periods and all the available courses.

You will be selected according to:

3. otherwise, the council will convert the grades following the Grade Conversion List
