Erasmus+ Study and Traineeship

The Erasmus+ Programme allows professors and students of UniTrento to spend abroad in a partner university or another relevant organization in a country member of the Programme (Key Action 1 – Individual Mobility). A contribution for travel, room and board expenses is provided. Erasmus+ Indire National Agency acts as a bridge for the European Commission.

The program is different depending on the geographical area of the partner Universities with whom UniTrento signs the Agreements.

• Programme Countries (European Destinations)
• Partner Countries (International Credit Mobility in Extra-EU Countries)

The students citizens of participating countries are not allowed to choose as a destination a University of their own country.

• Study: course attendance, thesis research/PhD, traineeship combined with study activities
• Traineeship: at the moment available only for European destinations (Programme Countries)

• Study: bachelor students, master students, PhDs
• Training (only Programme Countries): bachelor students, master students, PhDs (during the studying period) or new-graduates of I or II level selected when still enrolled (post-graduation Traineeship)

The Erasmus+ Program duration is 3 to 12 months for study purposes, and 2 to 12 months for training purposes. Anyway, the duration of the mobility depends on the destination country and it is determined by the Selection Call of UniTrento, as well as the mobility period.

The same student can spend multiple periods of mobility within each cycle of studies (undergraduate, master, doctorate) up to 12 months (24 months for five-year master’s courses). Periods spent abroad with LLP/Erasmus Program or LLP/Leonardo Da Vinci Program or Erasmus Mundus Programme are counted as well to reach the maximum of 12 (or 24) months.
