Erasmus+ for Long-Term Study

The Erasmus+ Study Call for Applications is published once a year, usually between November and December, with a deadline in mid-January for mobility during the following academic year.

If you are enrolled in the Master’s Degree in International Security Studies (MISS), mobility is permitted only during the second semester of the second year.

If you are enrolled in the PhD programme in International Studies, you must have passed all examinations for the first three semesters and have had your research proposal approved by the end of the third semester to be eligible for mobility. You are not eligible to apply if you have reached the sixth semester.

To apply:

• fill out the application online;
• attach a document with your personal and academic motivations for the chosen destinations;
• attach your study project for each destination.

If you are among the selected individuals, you will have to prepare the study plan to follow abroad (Learning Agreement) in agreement with the UniTrento professor responsible for your destination.

You can choose from 1 to 4 destinations among those with which the department has an agreement.

Remember to check whether scholarships are available for your degree program (undergraduate, master's, or doctoral) and whether the subject area is compatible.

The amount of the scholarship varies depending on the destination. In addition to the scholarship, you can receive a supplement if you fall into one of the categories that the Programme defines "with fewer opportunities", for example due to income conditions.

You can request recognition of exams taken during your mobility abroad, as per the Academic Regulations for your degree program. All learning activities must be agreed upon in the Learning Agreement and certified by the host university via the Transcript of Records.

Each application is reviewed by the Degree Program Council, which assesses the consistency of the activities undertaken with the curriculum, taking into account the content, credits earned, and the educational objectives of the courses. Recognition may be total or partial.

Grades will be awarded based on the conversion table.

The ranking list, including the allocation of the destination and the corresponding Erasmus+ grant, is drawn up on the basis of a score out of 100, awarded according to the following criteria:

For students enrolled in a Master's degree programme:

• study/research proposal: up to 45 points;
• weighted average of Bachelor's degree marks (GPA for qualifications obtained abroad): up to 30 points;
• language proficiency: up to 25 points.

For PhD students:

• relevance to the research project: up to 65 points;
• language proficiency: up to 35 points.
