Outgoing Erasmus+ study

As a UniGe student, you have the opportunity to carry out one or more Erasmus+ mobilities.

The period comprehensive reserved for mobility is different depending on the course of study you are enrolled in:

• Cycle I - Bachelor's degree: maximum 12 months (360 days)
• cycle II - bachelor's/master's degree, master's degree: maximum 12 months (360 days)
• single-cycle master's degree: maximum 24 months (720 days)
• cycle III - PhD, postgraduate course, 2nd level master's degree: maximum 12 months (360 days)

Before applying, you should therefore check that the remaining period still available to you for further Erasmus+ mobility is at least 90 days.

For example, if in the same bachelor's degree program you have already done one Erasmus mobility for study purposes for 5 months and one for internship purposes for 4 months (for a total of 9 months), you will be able to apply and do a maximum period of 3 months abroad, regardless of the duration of the grant provided by the announcement.

Acceptance must be carried out via the online services

It is not compulsory, but we recommend that you accept the full scholarship. Once you have checked the course programme offered by the host institution, you may sign the agreement to receive the scholarship for a shorter period, if necessary.

Yes, provided that the two periods do not overlap. However, the combined duration of the two mobility periods must not exceed the maximum of 12 months permitted per academic year.

The period to be specified in your acceptance should be based on the start and end dates of the lectures. You can find this information on the host institution’s website.

Yes. If your period abroad is still due to take place during the scheduled semester, you will need to notify the International Mobility Office and the relevant School/Department office of the new date. If your mobility programme is to take place in a different semester, we advise you to check the validity of the Learning Agreement and Application Form that you may have already completed.

The selection panels, whilst taking into account the preferences expressed in your application, will assign you to the location they deem most suitable based on the course on offer and your skills (including language skills).

No, the assigned post is final. The committee may only consider a change of post in the following circumstances:

• in the event of significant changes to the course programme that prevent you from carrying out your teaching duties
• in the event of a refusal by the host institution

The Erasmus offices at your school or department will forward your details to the partner universities. You must:

1. complete the enrolment procedures on the host university’s website
2. check the deadlines for the Application Form
3. check the deadlines for submitting the Learning Agreement and any other procedures to be completed before departure

You will need to check with the embassies or consulates of your destination country to see whether an entry visa is required.

If you are a non-EU student, in order to sign the agreement, you must hold an Italian residence permit valid for the entire duration of your mobility period. The SASS Office provides assistance with both visa applications and the renewal of residence permits.

You will need to select the courses that interest you from the range of courses offered by the institution to which you have been assigned and then include them in the Learning Agreement with the help of the Erasmus office.

The exams you sit abroad, certified by the host institution in the Transcript of Records, will be recognised once you return to Italy.

Yes, because only with the signature of the UniGe representative and the approval of the host institution will you be authorised to study abroad.

In addition to the Learning Agreement complete with all the necessary authorisations, you will need to sign the study mobility agreement by accessing UniGe’s ServiziOnline.

To view the full list of required documents, please visit the dedicated page on UniGe’s ServiziOnline.

You will need to:

• log in to the OLS platform and complete the first compulsory test
• as soon as you set off, send the completed Form A to coopint@unige.it

Once abroad, you will be able to:

• apply for an extension, if necessary
• make changes to the Learning Agreement

No. Once you have graduated, you will not be able to take part in the Erasmus programme again.

Grants are paid:

• before departure: 50% of the University/MIUR grant, determined on the basis of your income, will be paid once you have signed the mobility agreement and your ISEE has been confirmed. The remaining 50 per cent, if you are entitled to it, will be paid on your return.
• at the start of your mobility period: 80 per cent of the EU grant will be paid at the start of your trip, once you have submitted Form A. The remaining 20 per cent, if you are entitled to it, will be paid upon your return.
• upon the student’s return: you will receive the balance only once you have completed all the return procedures (submission of the certificate of attendance, final OLS test and completion of the EU Survey).

Please note Payments are subject to UniGe’s payment schedule. Final fees will be calculated based on the actual number of days you spent abroad, regardless of the number of days specified in the mobility agreement.

You will need to enrol and send Form A (which you can find in the Important Documents section of this page) to coopint@unige.it.

Yes, you will need to use the During the Mobility section of the Learning Agreement, following the instructions set out in the document Guidelines on how to use the Learning Agreement for Studies and adhering to any deadlines set by the host institution.

Yes, you will need to complete Form B and follow the instructions set out in the Student Pack, which you can find in the Important documents section of this page.

Yes, but please bear in mind that the minimum period is 90 days and that periods of less than 3 months cannot be recognised or funded.

At the end of your Erasmus programme, in order to receive academic and financial recognition, you must ask your host university to complete the following:

• certificate of attendance (which you can find in the Important documents section of this page)
• transcript of records showing the exams taken and the corresponding marks

Please note The submission of the final documents and the second OLS test are compulsory in order to receive the remaining balance of the grant. If you do not complete the required procedures, you will have to return the scholarship that has already been awarded.

You must submit the certificate of attendance in original to the International Mobility Office within 30 days of your return. The transcript of records, on the other hand, must be submitted to the relevant School/Department office if it has not already been sent by the host institution.

Once you have submitted the final documents, you will receive instructions via your institutional email address (matricola@studenti.unige.it) on how to complete the EU Survey, which is the mandatory report required to receive the final payment of your grant.

Please note that if you do not complete all the procedures, you will be required to repay any grant already received.
