The Destinations Brochure is available in yoU@B > International Programs > Exchange Destinations and is divided into three tabs. Each tab provides specific information to help you choose your exchange destination

Partner Universities

For each Partner University, you will find all the relevant information for your application, and in particular:

  • University code which unambiguously identifies the university, school and department. For European destinations 2 codes are indicated, the first is the Erasmus code and the second is the University code, please note that the Erasmus code is not related to the city of your exchange destination;
  • Number of available slots and any specifications (e.g. possible notes on any slots out of the total reserved to specific degree programs). Slots will be defined on an annual basis and may change based on existing bilateral agreements with partner universities;
  • Exchange period(s) available (terms). If two or more terms are available, selected students will be able to choose their preferred term during the acceptance stage. If only one term is available, selected students will be automatically assigned to that term.
    For destinations with a limited number of slots per semester, the number of available slots for each term will be specified, and the Study Abroad Office will make the final term assignments based on the selection ranking, giving priority to higher-ranked students. Only in these cases will students be notified of their final term assignment by the Study Abroad Office.
  • Minimum language required for the selection and possible additional language requirements or additional academic requirements that the student must consider when applying. 
    To review the destination-specific requirements click on "Info".
  • Study programs the university is recommended for/reserved for/not available for, based on the educational offer available. Students cannot indicate universities reserved for study programs other than their own or not available for their own program, at the time of application. Students may indicate universities recommended for study programs other than their own at the time of application, subject to careful evaluation of the offer of courses at that destination and compatibility with needs of the program structure.
