Incoming Mobility | Students Opportunities

Incoming students participating in a mobility programme are allowed to carry out part of their study plans at a partner Institution with a current inter-institutional agreement. The study period abroad can last from a minimum of  2 months (or 1 academic term or trimester) to a maximum of 12 months.
Students will be able to improve their language and communication skills, get aware of different educational programmes and learn to be more independent.
Students not only will have the chance to continue their studies in a new environment and live a different culture but also all credits obtained abroad will be recognized by their home Institution at the end of the mobility period.

As part of the University of Salerno's internationalization initiatives, a targeted recruitment strategy is implemented for master's degree programs aimed at students who are not citizens of the European Union, who reside abroad and hold a degree awarded outside the EU.

Each year a call for applications is published to recruit 50 non-EU students for the university's master's degree programs. Potential applicants must submit an application and the required documentation by following the specific procedures outlined annually on the same page where the call for applications is published.

For the academic year 2024-2025, the following countries or geographical areas are defined as priorities: Graduates of UNIMED Associated Universities (10 places) Africa (10 places); Argentina (5 places); Colombia (5 places); Middle East (5 places); Ukraine (5 places); Vietnam (5 places); other countries or geographical areas (5 places).

In the framework of the Erasmus + Program, the KA171 - International Credit mobility supports the implementation of mobility projects for study / traineeship / teaching and staff training between the Higher Education Institutions belonging to the Programme Countries and those belonging to the Partner Countries.

It allows the realization of mobility projects that, in line with the internationalization strategy of the participating institutions, aim to attract students and teachers to the European institutions and, at the same time, offer new mobility opportunities to their students and staff.

Key Action 1 - Individual Mobility for Learning Purposes - enables students and recent graduates to enhance their education and career prospects in a foreign country and offers teachers and administrative staff the opportunity to improve or enhance their learning and teaching methods and to update their skills. In the framework of Key Action 1, a specific action called International Credit Mobility (ICM - KA107) has been envisaged since 2015, which offers the opportunity for students and teaching and administrative staff to undertake international mobility beyond the borders of Europe, opening up participation to so-called Partner countries. This action has been re-proposed in the new 2021/2027 program under the name KA171 - International mobility involving third countries not associated with the program.

The aim of this action is to promote the internationalization of higher education and to strengthen the attractiveness of European universities while at the same time broadening the range of possible destinations by opening up to countries in the rest of the world.

Details and requirements for each project will be published in their related call.

 The double degree program offers students belonging to partner Institutions involved in the double degree agreements the possibility of  spending one year at the University of Salerno, acquiring core knowledge skills and specializing in their field of interest attending part of their study program. Students must be selected by their home institution.

Students from universities participating in the Erasmus+ program can apply individually to undertake an Erasmus+ traineeship at the University of Salerno for a period lasting from 2 to 12 months. For this type of mobility, a formal nomination by their home university is not required.

Students can directly submit their requests to the relevant department (https://dipartimenti.unisa.it/en) and specifically to the Departmental Coordinator for International Mobility.

Coordinators will be responsible for identifying the unit (laboratory) where the candidate will be placed to undertake the internship and the teacher/tutor who will supervise them.

Upon acceptance by the tutors, students are responsible for initiating the necessary administrative procedures and completing the Learning Agreement for Traineeship (provided by their university). The Learning Agreement for Traineeship must be sent by the student to the International Office (incomingstudents@unisa.it) along with a copy of their identity card/passport. The International Office will provide the student with all necessary information to proceed with the mobility and registration on the Esse3 platform (the system where student career is managed). No applications will be accepted without a fully signed Learning Agreement for Traineeship by all parties (home university, UNISA tutor, student).

The certificate of stay will be issued to the student by the International Office after confirmation by the tutor of the fulfillment of the mobility and achievement of all learning objectives outlined in the Learning Agreement.

Living expenses (accommodation, transportation, insurance, etc.) are fully covered by the trainee.
