INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY

Accademia Italiana offers its students various opportunities to study abroad. It promotes mobility for credits mainly within the EU Erasmus+ program, but also through bilateral agreements with non-European academies and universities.

The programs allow the Accademia Italiana student to spend a semester in a partner school or university with academic recognition of the study program undertaken abroad.

Through the Erasmus+ program, Accademia Italiana is also activating opportunities for its students to carry out internships abroad.

Students also have the opportunity to study abroad for short programs during the summer period through Accademia Italiana's numerous partnerships within the AD Education network.

OUTGOING STUDENTS

Every year, Accademia Italiana will offer some of its students the opportunity to enrich their academic curriculum with a study abroad experience at its partner schools and universities, acquiring ECTS credits recognized in their curriculum at Accademia Italiana. Students will be able to participate in international exchange programs by applying to the announcement for applications to be published each year in December. Students will be selected on the basis of criteria of academic merit and linguistic competence.

Exchange periods last one semester (on average 4-5 months) and take place either in the autumn semester (September-January) or in the spring semester (January-May).
