Broaden your horizons and gain international experience
The department of Management (DiPSA) at the University of Bergamo strongly supports students in exploring educational and professional opportunities abroad. Taking part in a mobility programme helps develop intercultural awareness, global competencies, and a more competitive academic profile for both further study and the labour market.
What you can do abroad
Students enrolled in bachelor’s and master’s programmes at DiPSA may access a wide variety of international mobility experiences, including:
- study mobility: attend one or two semesters at a foreign partner university under Erasmus+ or bilateral agreements;
- traineeships and internships abroad: gain professional experience in companies or organisations across Europe through Erasmus+ Traineeships;
- short-term programmes: join international summer or winter schools, often with intensive training in specific subjects;
- Joint and double degree programmes: follow an integrated study path across two universities and earn a double academic qualification.
All activities are designed to be recognised within the student’s academic path through Learning Agreements and course validation procedures.
Erasmus+ study mobility
The Erasmus+ programme is the main mobility scheme for DiPSA students. It offers the opportunity to spend a study period at one of the university of Bergamo’s many partner institutions across Europe. Selection takes place annually through public calls, and students receive a grant to help cover travel and accommodation expenses.
Erasmus+ traineeships
Students can also take part in curricular internships abroad with Erasmus+ Traineeships. These experiences may last from 2 to 6 months, and are carried out in companies, research centres, or institutions in eligible programme countries.
Before departure, students must finalise a Learning Agreement for Traineeship approved by DiPSA and the host organisation. Erasmus+ grants and additional support for students with special needs are available.
Extra-EU mobility
The university of Bergamo also offers extra-EU mobility programmes, allowing you to study at non-European partner institutions. These opportunities are regulated by bilateral agreements and may include tuition waivers and academic recognition.
Application process and deadlines
Calls for applications are usually published between January and March for the following academic year. Candidates are selected based on academic performance, language skills, and motivation.
For each call, students can access:
