Outgoing Mobility

This section outlines opportunities for Engineering students to study, train, or conduct research abroad. The University organizes these into two main streams: Study Mobility (taking exams/attending courses) and Traineeship Mobility (internships).

Erasmus+ for Study (Studio)

• Purpose: Attend courses, take exams, or conduct thesis research at a Partner University in Europe (Program Countries).
• Duration: 2 to 12 months.
• Calls (Bandi): Typically published in January/February for the following academic year (e.g., Bando Erasmus studio 2025-26).
• Departmental Role: Prof. Ugo Della Croce and Hossein Cheraghi Bidsorkhi must approve the Learning Agreement (LA) before departure, ensuring the exams abroad replace specific UNISS Engineering exams.

Erasmus+ for Traineeship

• Purpose: Internships in companies, research centers, or universities abroad.
• Target: Enrolled students AND recent graduates (must apply before graduation).
• Consortiums: In addition to the standard Erasmus call, UNISS participates in the "Mine Vaganti" (NHEI) consortium, which offers additional traineeship spots.
• Deadline: Watch for the annual call (currently active for 2025/26).

Ulisse Program (Programma Ulisse)

• Purpose: Mobility towards non-EU countries (Global) or destinations not covered by Erasmus+.
• Flexibility: Can be used for exams (Study) or internships (Traineeship).
• Safety: Mobility is conditional on the security status of the country (checked via ViaggiareSicuri).
• Requirement: The specific study or research plan must be approved by the Department in advance.

International Credit Mobility (ICM - KA171)

• Purpose: Specific project-based mobility with non-associated third countries (e.g., Vietnam, Tunisia).
• Procedure: Students apply to specific calls (Bandi Erasmus KA171) linked to active departmental projects.

Phase 1: Before Mobility (Application)

• Monitor Calls: Students must check the "Bandi" page on the International site.
• Apply: Applications are submitted via the "Self Studenti" portal.
• Selection: Based on merit (Average Grade/Credits) and Language Proficiency.
• Learning Agreement: The student drafts the LA. The Degree Course Council must approve it.

Phase 2: During Mobility

• Changes: If the student needs to change courses, they must submit a "Changes to Learning Agreement" form for Prof. Ugo Della Croce and Hossein Cheraghi Bidsorkhi.
•  approval by email.
• Extension: Extensions are possible but must be authorized by the International Office and the Department.

Phase 3: After Mobility (Recognition)

• Transcript of Records: The host university issues the transcript of grades.
• Conversion: The Department converts the grades using the ECTS conversion table.
• Registration: The recognized credits are uploaded to the student's career.

• Standard Coverage: UNISS provides basic accident and civil liability coverage for institutional activities.
• Supplementary Insurance (Bacheca): For health, travel, and specific COVID-19 related risks (e.g., flight cancellation, medical repatriation), UNISS does not provide a blanket policy but maintains a "Bacheca Coperture Assicurative".
• Action: Advise students to consult this board, where affiliated companies (e.g., Businco, Allianz, Europ Assistance) offer discounted packages for UNISS students.

Note: Students going to non-EU countries (Ulisse) usually must purchase private health insurance.

• Location: The central International Office is located at Palazzo Zirulia (Piazza Università 11, 2nd Floor).
• Online Guide: Refer students to the "Guida per studenti outgoing" on the website for the latest forms and deadlines.
