Info for exchange Students (Socrates/Erasmus or other)
The Erasmus action of the SOCRATES community programme provides for student exchange activities in European partner Universities or Higher Education Institutions participating in the programme.
The main purposes of the exchanges are spending 1 or 2 semesters in another European University as an integral part of your study at your home university.
Eligibility to perform such exchange activities is obtained by the signature of a proper Socrates bilateral agreement between your University/Institution and the University of Calabria.
Please check out the list of our partner Universities and see if your University is already included.
If it is on our list, check with your own Socrates/International office if the agreement is still active and verify if student exchange activities for your field of study are included in it.
If not, please refer to the Socrates/International office of your University and ask on the possibility of establishing a bilateral agreement with the University of Calabria. Your International office may contact us directly to the following address:
Università della Calabria
Socrates and Community Projects and Contracts Office
