Erasmus+ serves as the European Union's initiative aimed at supporting education, training, youth, and sport across Europe.

It presents a valuable opportunity to enhance language proficiency, gain self-assurance and independence, and fully immerse oneself in a novel cultural setting.

It is an extraordinary opportunity to shape your academic, professional, and personal future. As you study abroad, you will have the remarkable chance to engage with students and professors from diverse countries, while immersing yourself in one of the world's oldest and most captivating cities. This is your moment to embark on a transformative journey towards a truly global experience!

How to prepare the ideal study plan
Ask your exchange student coordinator for help to define your study plan to ensure equivalences.
If possible, talk to colleagues who have done mobility at our college in previous years.
A learning agreement is just an equivalency plan and not a “schedule”. Only after your arrival will it be possible to set the timetable and check which subjects it allows you to take. Remember that there may be overlaps, particularly if there are subjects from several academic years.
