European universities. Available campuses include Sorbonne Université, Université Paris-
Pantheon-Assas, Charles University, Universität Heidelberg, the University of Copenhagen, the
University of Warsaw and the Université de Genève which are members of the 4EU+ Alliance,
together with the University of Milan.
The new Learning Pathway “Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution” (BEE) offers the possibility
to integrate each study course abroad with exams under Flagship 4 “Environmental
transitions”.
Students abroad will be registered with the Host University, which will not require them to
pay any tuition fees (except any fees that are not enrolment-related). It is understood that
students shall pay the University of Milan’s tuition fees for the relevant academic year
(2024/2025 for students selected under this call for applications).
- All students of the University of Milan who are regularly enrolled in Bachelor's,
Master's and single-cycle Master's degree programmes, provided that they are not off
track for more than one year at the time of application. Part-time students may
apply in compliance with Erasmus+ regulations.
- Students in the last year of their degree, provided they are not off track for more than
two years, who are waiting to enrol in a Master’s degree at the University of Milan.
These students are allowed to submit their application for the destinations open to the
degree they will enrol in 2024/2025.

Those who intend to undertake Erasmus+ study abroad during the first year of their Master's
degree programme may start their stay only upon enrolment for the academic year 2023/2024.
Pre-enrolment is not valid for this purpose. If enrolment in the Master's degree programme is
completed at a time when the first semester of the 2024/2025 academic year abroad has
already begun, the stay shall be postponed to the second semester of 2024/2025, even if this
results in a shorter period as opposed to the number of months offered under the call. We
invite students in this situation to give preference to destinations offering study abroad
periods of 6 months.
European students are allowed to undertake the Erasmus+ mobility in their home country.
However, in case of a tie for places for the destinations available to that country, students
from elsewhere will be given priority.
Students may participate in the Erasmus+ programme several times during each study
cycle, provided that the overall duration of the mobility periods does not exceed 12
months per cycle or 24 months for single-cycle programmes. The 12/24 months cap includes
both Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) and traineeship mobility.
Please note that for some study programmes the application for the Erasmus+ programme
is subject to academic requirements (e.g. any thresholds in terms of year of enrolment,
number of credits, failed exams/fundamental exams). Students are invited to pay attention
to Annexe A, which is an integral part of the present Call, for further academic
requirements.
This translation is made for informative purposes only – for the official text, please refer to the Italian version. -3-
Students must submit a general learning agreement proposal for each of the chosen
campuses, stating the educational activities to be carried out abroad, in accordance with
the objectives and contents of their degree programme and individual study plan. The
proposed programme must include the reasons for undertaking Erasmus+ study, and any other
element deemed relevant for the purposes of the selection, as well as the reasons for campus
choices. The learning agreement proposal, including the above-mentioned reasons, must be
drafted using Form 1 attached to the present Call for Applications. It provides the Selection
Committee with useful elements for assessing candidates’ maturity and it constitutes the basis
for their official Learning Agreement.
For a proper selection of their destination, students are invited to carefully read any
additional information available in the online application under “Details” > “Note” for each
partner university. Similarly, they are encouraged to check the range of courses offered by
foreign universities and their specific requirements (regarding language proficiency,
enrolment, admission to courses), if any.
You can access partner universities’ websites from the international Agreements’ webpage:
https://www.unimi.it/en/international/university-milan-world/international-agreements
(regularly updated). Some Universities have restrictions to the academic offer available to
Erasmus students. We invite all students to check their offer directly with the partner
university they are interested in.
4. LANGUAGE SKILLS
All students applying for Erasmus+ must meet language proficiency requirements, namely,
an A2 level in the language(s) of study/work used on the chosen campus(es).
Language proficiency will be assessed under the Common European Framework of Reference
for Languages (CEFR - https://www.coe.int/en/web/language-policy/home).
In order to check which working language is used at a specific University, students should visit
their website and verify the academic offer.
Should courses be delivered in multiple languages (e.g. in the official language of the host
country and in English or another language), students may meet the proficiency requirement
in one language only, provided that they meet the second working language requirement
within the deadline set by the Host university.
Language skills of students enrolled in courses under Languages, Language Mediation and
Veterinary Medicine will be tested during the oral interview. Students of these degree
programmes are required to fill out Form 2 annexed to this call and attach it to their
application to self-certify their language skills.
This translation is made for informative purposes only – for the official text, please refer to the Italian version. -4-
or
or
3 – A screenshot of the students’ University career, only if the language is clearly stated. In
this case, it can be both a recognized official certification or a language proficiency statement
obtained through the University Language Centre – SLAM (considered valid when obtained no
more than four years before the time of application).
Students who have already taken the English Placement Test with SLAM or their language
proficiency test and do not have a level statement, should contact SLAM via the
Informastudenti services (“TEST DI LINGUA” section) and request a language proficiency
statement of the test they took.
Students who are enrolled in degree programmes entirely taught in English, or who attend
curricula taught in English, are considered to automatically meet their English language
requirement up to the level required for admission to their degree programme. These students
will have to self-certify their English-language proficiency using Form 2. Students with a higher
language proficiency are required to prove it as set forth in Annexe A for their study area.
Students whose native language is the language they need to certify are also required to
follow the same procedures as set forth for their study area.
Students who do not hold the above certifications/statements can obtain a language
proficiency statement free of charge with SLAM’s services, for some languages/levels only.
For further information, please refer to the SLAM’s webpage
https://www.unimi.it/en/study/language-proficiency/language-tests-and-courses-mobility-
calls .
Students are required to obtain their SLAM’s level statement within the application deadline
- 29 February 2024. Please note that you can register for one test per language only, by
following the instructions available at https://www.unimi.it/en/study/language-
proficiency/language-tests-and-courses-mobility-calls.
Any statement issued by tutors or university professors will not be deemed valid for the
purposes of applications. Likewise, any credits earned for language assessments that are not
managed by SLAM or issued by other Universities will not be considered as a valid language
certificate.
Students should be aware that Host Universities often require language skills higher
than A2. For this reason, we invite students to double-check the requirements directly
on host Universities’ official websites.
This translation is made for informative purposes only – for the official text, please refer to the Italian version. -5-
Should higher language levels be required, students are expected to reach that level by the
deadlines set by Host Universities.

waitlist and students who are not eligible, according to the criteria specified in Annexe A
for each study area.
After the evaluation of the Committees, the online platform will generate a ranking based on
the scores referred to in items above, plus the Erasmus Index score. It will show the eligibility

possible to change the choice.
Eligible students who were not selected for any destination will be put on the waitlist for
each destination they were eligible for.
After the first window for acceptance is closed, the online platform will generate a new
ranking, reassigning any vacant places to eligible students on the waitlist. Students,
summoned by ranking order, may choose whether to accept or waive a vacant destination
within the second acceptance window. The students will be informed of the dates of this
second acceptance window.
Once the second acceptance window is closed, students on the waitlist can take over until

Any changes to the above table based on national provisions will be promptly disclosed.
Please note that the number of monthly scholarships for each position, as set out in the
bilateral agreements stipulated with the host universities, resulting in the value of the
mobility grant, is merely an indication.
The actual amount of the grant is linked to the actual period abroad, within the limit of
the monthly payments as established in the agreements with partner universities.
The monthly grant based on the destination country must be multiplied by the number of full
months abroad. For any fractions of months, the financial aid will be calculated by multiplying
the number of days by 1/30 of the monthly unit cost, using the European Commission’s
calculation platform.
Recipients of an Erasmus+ grant may not receive other EU-funded grants for the same period.
If you are awarded an Erasmus+ grant, you are required to check for any conflicts with other
calls for funds for which you have applied or intend to apply.

the University by the Erasmus+ National Agency on behalf of the European Commission.
Should EU funds be insufficient to cover all mobility places, the University will announce
grant-award criteria in due course.
Grants will be paid on La Statale Card. Therefore, selected students are required to activate
their personal badge as a Flash Up Studio La Statale prepaid card. Further information is

8. MINISTRY AND UNIVERSITY-FUNDED ADDITIONAL GRANT
Being the Erasmus+ grant moderate in value, lower-income students may receive a
supplement in order to promote their participation in the programme. The supplementary
grant amount and award criteria are set annually by the University's Board of Directors.
The income position of students participating in the Erasmus+ programme will be determined
based on the ISEE-University certificates for the academic year 2023/2024, as submitted
according to the procedures and deadlines prescribed by the University of Milan for the
purposes of a reduction on the second instalment of tuition fees. (See the 2023/2024 fee
regulation at https://www.unimi.it/en/study/bachelor-and-master-study/fees-and-how-
pay-them/fees-current-academic-year.)
Students who receive a tuition waiver, or who do not normally apply for an ISEE-University
certificate, should – if selected – request the certificate within the above-mentioned
deadlines, if they believe that their household financial situation results in an ISEE value that
does not exceed Euro 50,000.
Please note that for international students whose household resides and has their income
abroad, the fees for their second instalment is not calculated on the ISEE University value,
but consists of a fixed second instalment amount based on the student's citizenship.
Therefore, these students are NOT required to submit their ISEE. The international students
falling under this category will be assigned their additional grant according to the
predetermined income values linked to the group their country of origin has been assigned to,
according to the University’s Regulation on Tuition and Fees.

Supplementary-grant award criteria and amounts for Erasmus+ students selected for
2024/2025 will be defined by a resolution of the Board of Directors.
Please note that the supplementary grant cannot be awarded to Erasmus+ students who have
been off track for more than one year. Moreover, the grant will be paid to entitled students
provided that they earn at least 70% of the credits set out in their study-abroad Learning
Agreement.
