Studying abroad

Students who have returned from the Erasmus/internship period must present the validation request at the Student Registry Office in Via Volturno 39, delivering the form downloadable from this page and attaching to it a copy of the Learning Agreement (LA) and of the Transcript of records (or of the Before Mobility and of the After Mobility in the case of an internship period). 

It should be noted that, in the case of changes to examination programmes with respect to previous years, the prior opinion of the coordinating professor/instructor of the course is required.

If ECTS credits are requested for the final examination, the opinion of the thesis supervisor must be attached for approval of the LA.

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 relevant Student Registry Office together with a copy of the LA and any amendments.

Requests must be submitted during the periods:

1-15 July (the internationalisation commission will deliberate by 30 July)

1-15 October (the internationalisation commission will deliberate by 30 October)

8-15 January (the internationalisation commission will deliberate by 30 January)

1-15 April (the internationalisation commission will deliberate by 30 April).

In order to carry out the conversion of grades, the internationalisation commission 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 academic year 2020-21).

Please note that currently, for administrative reasons, learning 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: training activities cannot be recognised if they do not comply with the prerequisites required.

The service intends to deal with the definition of agreements with Universities in other countries for the international mobility of students, in particular for periods of training abroad, but also, for example, for the award of joint degrees or double degrees, suitable for the achievement of the expected learning outcomes, as well as the organisation and management of the international mobility of outgoing students and the reception of incoming students from other countries.

In recent years, the University of Parma has undertaken important work aimed at increasing the number of courses with double or joint degrees, with a view to increasing and promoting international mobility. In this sense, the development policies of the educational offer have taken into specific consideration the relationship between the international development of the educational offer itself, its sustainability and adequacy, and the territorial dimension and relations with other universities. It is precisely the international dimension of the educational offer that is aimed not only at increasing the number of deserving international students, diversifying their geographical origin, but also at increasing the number of graduates who have had an educational experience abroad, thus strengthening the international dimension of educational contexts, also through the teaching of foreign experts and the development of students' language skills.

The University of Parma is part of an exchange network of professors/instructors and students that, through numerous agreements at EU and non-EU level, allows study periods abroad and/or internship activities, enabling students to gain training experience abroad, both teaching and working, as part of mobility programmes, creating degree course opportunities for international careers for its students and favourable environments for the development of research activities, through the funding of projects by local researchers and the attraction of scholars from all over the world.

Over the years, the numerous academic contacts that have been developed have allowed for the creation of a network of international collaborations that today sees the presence of partnerships with Universities and Research Organisations from all over the world, resulting in the recognition of the University of Parma in the international academic scene.

The intense activity aimed at improving internationalisation has taken the form of an increase in opportunities for language training , the consolidation of exchange activities under the Erasmus+ programme, the expansion of exchange opportunities within the OVERWORLD University Programme, in the implementation of double degree programmes with structured mobility, in the TeachinParma project co-funded by the CariParma Foundation to support Visiting Professors working within the Doctoral Schools, in the recruitment of Visiting Professors for teaching activities in first and second-cycle degree courses.

In order to coordinate central activities with those at departmental level, as of 2017 International Mobility Commissions have been set up in each Department . Internationalisation initiatives are accessible from the menu item ""INTERNATIONAL"" on the University homepage.

In order to encourage the growth and scientific and didactic updating of the teaching staff, the University encourages participation in international mobility programmes, both under the Erasmus+ Programme and the OverWorld Programme, in order to carry out a period of teaching and/or training abroad; it promotes initiatives useful for acquiring specific knowledge and know-how from good practices (creation of academic networks, research collaborations, participation in competitive calls) and for developing language skills relevant to professional development.

The realisation and implementation of internationalisation processes, on the basis of the directives issued by the University governance, is taken care of by the Internationalisation Unit (Research, Internationalisation and Third Mission Area).
