International Mobility

Are you considering studying, completing an internship, or conducting research for your final thesis abroad, or coming to Florence for a period of international mobility?

This section provides programmes, opportunities, and services to help you find your bearings and choose the path best suited to you.

Study Abroad

Discover opportunities to spend periods of study, complete internships, or carry out thesis research abroad at partner universities and organisations.

Erasmus+ KA131 – Study and Traineeship: Spend a study or internship period in Europe through the Erasmus+ Programme and enrich your academic path with a high-quality international experience.

Erasmus+ KA171 – Study and Traineeships: Gain study or traineeship experience in non-EU countries through projects funded under the Erasmus+ KA171 Programme and broaden your international horizons.

Spend a period of study, complete an internship, or conduct research for your final thesis at Unifi partner institutions in EU and non-EU countries under active cooperation agreements. Funding opportunities may be available depending on the type of mobility: 

  • International Mobility to non-EU countries (University-funded opportunities): embark on a study, internship, or thesis research period in non-EU countries supported by financial grants awarded annually by the University through dedicated calls for applications, aimed at promoting international mobility at partner institutions.
  • International Mobility to EU and non-EU countries: undertake a mobility period at institutions with an active agreement with Unifi in specific fields. While no dedicated financial grants are provided, you will be exempt from paying tuition fees at the host university. 
    The activities completed abroad will be recognized towards your degree programme, in accordance with the learning agreement approved before departure by your Degree Programme and the host university. 
    For further information, please contact the International Relations Office of your School.

Build your international experience independently by selecting the university or organisation of your choice for a customized study period.
