Erasmus+ Unifi students - outgoing students

Unifi students - outgoing students

Students and recent graduates can carry out periods of study and/or internship at other universities or organizations in one of the partner countries.

Erasmus+ international mobility is part of Action KA131 under the Erasmus+ 2021-2027 programme, which includes four main priorities:

inclusion and diversity
digital transformation through the Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) network
Environment and the fight against climate change
participation in democratic life

Each candidate can carry out a mobility abroad (for study or traineeship) from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 12 months at a Higher Education Institute according to the procedures indicated in the annual call published by the University to which they belong, in which each candidate is required to participate. Furthermore, according to the provisions of the Erasmus 2021-2027 Programme, candidates will be able to opt, if not interested in long-term mobility, for a short-mobility with a minimum mandatory duration of 5 days up to a maximum of 30 days.

Action KA131 supports the mobility of higher education students in any field and cycle of study (first, second and third cycle), and the same student can take part in mobility periods for a maximum total of 12 months of physical mobility per cycle of study, regardless of the number and type of mobility activities. In addition, any period of study or traineeship abroad of any duration, including doctoral mobility, can be carried out in the form of blended mobility, which involves the combination of physical mobility activities with a virtual component that facilitates collaborative learning exchanges and online teamwork.

Mobility for study

Erasmus+ mobility for study:

provides for the provision of a specific Community contribution
it allows you to follow courses, take exams, curricular internship activities to supplement a period of study, carry out thesis research, and to use the facilities available and specific services at the host institution without additional enrolment fees
guarantees the recognition of the period of study abroad through the transfer of credits, carried out with the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), on the basis of what has been agreed in advance with the course of study to which the student belongs and with the host Higher Education institution through the Learning Agreement (study plan for the mobility period).

Mobility for traineeships

It is possible to carry out a mobility for traineeship abroad, from 2 to 12 months, at a company or other organization, in one of the countries participating in the Program, according to the procedures indicated in the University call. In the case of student mobility, the host organisation can be any public or private organisation from a Programme Country or a Partner Country active in the labour market or in the field of education, training, youth, research and innovation.

For example, your organization can be:

a public or private enterprise, whether small, medium or large (including social enterprises)
a public body at local, regional or national level
an embassy or consular office of the sending country participating in the programme
a social partner or other representative of the world of work, including chambers of commerce, orders of craftsmen or professionals and trade unions
a research institute
a foundation
a school, institution or educational centre (at any level, from pre-primary to upper secondary education, including vocational and adult education)
a non-profit organization, association, or NGO
a body for career guidance, career counselling and information services

The host location can be either one of the locations with which the candidate's School has entered into a generic letter of intent (location with which the School has an agreement, so-called generic location) or a location identified by the candidate (so-called nominative location), which must be different from the locations with which the School has entered into a generic letter of intent. In the latter case, the foreign office must produce, within the deadlines set out in the call for mobility, a letter of intent (ad personam) for the participant.

Recent graduates can also carry out a traineeship mobility under action KA131 but under the following conditions:

those interested in carrying out a postgraduate mobility must submit their application while they are still students enrolled at the University of Florence
their departure must take place after graduation
The mobility must be completed within 12 months of obtaining the degree
the duration must take into account any previous mobilities in the calculation of the maximum 12 months of physical mobility per study cycle
