Studying abroad

The Commission manages student mobility in relation to all international exchange programmes.

Erasmus Plus allows students to undertake a study period abroad of up to 12 months and/or an internship, and to receive a mobility grant to partially cover the higher costs associated with their stay abroad.

The programme consists of:

1) Erasmus+ Study (SMS) allows students to carry out part of their studies abroad in one of the countries with which the University of Parma has concluded an agreement. The degree course guarantees full recognition of training activities.

2) Erasmus+ Internship (SMT) provides the opportunity to carry out an educational internship abroad in veterinary surgeries, veterinary clinics and veterinary hospitals, run by both private individuals and universities, as well as feed and livestock companies and livestock-related associations. The degree course guarantees full recognition of internship activities.

Please note that the University of Parma provides for the compulsory testing of language skills at the time of application (Language Placement Test, LPT). See section Language courses.

For information on the Calls please consult the page ⇒ Erasmus plus Programme or contact the contact persons.
