Erasmus Plus

Erasmus Plus allows students to spend a study period abroad, up to a maximum of 12 months per study and/or internship cycle, and to receive a mobility grant to partially cover the higher costs of their stay abroad.
The programme consists of:
1) Erasmus+ Study (SMS) which enables 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 of Social Work guarantees full recognition of educational activities, such as taking examinations and doing research for the dissertation.
2) Erasmus+ internship (SMT) which provides the opportunity to carry out a internship abroad in companies, law firms and organisations.

Carrying out research and writing the dissertation abroad

Students may carry out research and writing activities abroad for their final examination for their degree course. To this end, before submitting the Teaching Agreement for approval by the Referee, students must obtain the assignment of the dissertation from a Supervisor and the latter's consent to carry out the relevant activities during their stay abroad. This activity, if attested by a certificate issued by the host university, when provided for in the relevant study programme abroad, or by a certificate issued by the Referee acting as guarantor, may be recognised, subject to the favourable opinion of the Supervisor, within the limits of the ECTS credits laid down for the final examination and in accordance with the provisions specific to each degree course.
In any event, in order to pass the final examination, students must sit the graduation examination in the form provided for the course they belong to and the examination will be subject to assessment by the relevant Degree Examination Committee in accordance with the rules of each course.
For the purposes of assessing the final examination for the degree course to which it belongs, the Degree Examination Committee takes into account the conduct of research and writing abroad.
