Studying abroad

The University of Parma offers all its students various opportunities to foster the development of a real international dimension of higher education. From exchanges in Europe through the Erasmus Plus Programme to extra-European mobility with the Overworld Programme and numerous pathways for acquiring a double degree.
Some study courses, in fact, thanks to the conclusion of international agreements with partner universities, provide the opportunity, at the end of the university course, to obtain a double degree with one or more associated foreign universities.
In the 2016/2017 academic year, an interchange agreement was formalised with the University of São Paulo - Riberao Preto that allows students to carry out traineeships, internships and courses with recognition at their home university. Currently, the consortium university for exchanges is the University of Bordeaux and Nice (France). The possibility of exchange through the Erasmus Traineeship agreement appears to be of particular interest due to its greater bureaucratic simplicity compared to other forms of exchange (which may require actual agreements).

 

Request for validation of examinations by students returning from the Erasmus/Overworld period

We remind you that the student who has returned from the Erasmus/Traineeship period must present the request for validation at the Student registry office in Via Volturno 39, by handing in the form which can be downloaded from this page and attaching to it a copy of the Learning Agreement and of the Transcript of records (or of the Before Mobility and of the After Mobility in the case of a Internship period)
For the compilation of the Learning Agreement it should be noted that, in the case of changes to examination programmes compared to previous years, or changes to the study programme at the Erasmus site, the prior opinion of the coordinating instructor of the integrated course is required. (please, enclose the form)
If, when completing the learning agreement, the recognition of ECTS credits for the final examination is required, the opinion of the thesis advisor must be enclosed.
The Learning Agreement must not exceed 30 ECTS credits (+10%) for each semester spent in Erasmus and the number of ECTS credits proposed at the Erasmus site must be congruent with the number of ECTS credits to be recognised at the Parma hub.
We remind you that the student who has returned from the Erasmus/Traineeship period must submit the validation request to the Student registry office at Via Volturno 39 by handing in the form downloadable from this page and attaching to it a copy of the Learning Agreement and the Transcript of records (or of the Before Mobility and the After Mobility in the case of an Internship period)

Important communication for international exchange students

Upon completion of the Erasmus programme, students are required to submit a request for recognition of the activities carried out to the Medical Student registry office together with a copy of the LA and any amendments.
Applications must be submitted during the periods:
1-15 July (internationalisation committee deliberation will take place by 30 July)
1-15 October (internationalisation committee deliberation will take place by 30 October)
8-15 January (internationalisation committee deliberation will take place by 30 January)
1-15 April (internationalisation committee deliberation will take place by 30 April).
To carry out the conversion of grades, the Internationalisation Committee adopts the tables published by the respective universities as at November of the calendar year preceding the academic year (the tables published in November 2019 are valid for the recognition of grades reported in the AY 2020-21).
Please note that currently, for administrative reasons, training activities can only be completed at the University of Parma. It is therefore not possible to include completion training activities in subsequent learning agreements.
IMPORTANT
No training activities can be recognised if they do not respect the propaedeuticity
