International opportunities for students

MEIS students have numerous opportunities to spend a study/research period abroad, through the Double Degree programme and various international exchange and Erasmus programmes.

Double degree

The double degree is an integrated study programme established by two or more universities, that allows students to attend part of their university career at the University of Trento and part at a partner university, thus obtaining both the Italian and the foreign qualifications at the same time. The programme pursues three main aims: diversification of the education; quality learning of a foreign language; deeper understanding of a different nation and culture.

We offer this program with

- Metropolitan University of Prague

- HSE Saint-Petersburg

- Masaryk University -Brno

Bilateral Agreements

A bilateral agreement is an agreement signed by two universities which choose to become partners to achieve common specific aims related to: student mobility, joint research activities, common activities such as the organization of seminars or conferences, etc.

The average internship lasts for three months. Significantly shorter or longer periods will not be authorized, except for exceptional and properly justified cases. UniTrento offers several opportunities to get a scholarship for traineeship abroad.
