Erasmus Programme
The programme of the European Community Erasmus+ allows you to study or work on your thesis at a university with which Politecnico di Milano has an exchange agreement for a maximum of 12 months.
You can leave for a destination in Europe or, starting from Call 2015, for a University outside Europe thanks to the KA171 Action called International Credit Mobility - ICM. This Action has allowed the mobility for students, faculty and staff outside Europe.
To participate in the Erasmus programme and carry out a mobility abroad for study/thesis, you must take part in the Call for International Mobility, which is published twice every year, and be selected. The selection is based on merit requirements, in particular the grades and credits obtained during your university career and on specific conditions linked to the particular exchange agreement. Once selected, you will be able to leave and start your mobility at the host institution. There you will have the possibility to attend courses and take exams, with the guarantee of obtaining the full recognition of the credits obtained abroad in your academic career.
Bilateral Exchange
Politecnico di Milano has agreements with a lot of non-EU universities that allow students to spend a study period abroad outside the European Union. A mobility in a non-European country offers you not only an opportunity to study at a prestigious university, but also an extraordinary life experience. Participation in an exchange programme guarantees you full recognition in your career of the credits (ECTS) obtained abroad.
Erasmus+ for Traineeship
The experience of doing an internship abroad enriches your curriculum and your education, helping you find a job faster. It is also important as a life and cultural experience.
The Career Service offers services and initiatives to allow you to experience internships abroad:
- you can apply for the numerous internship announcements abroad published every day on the board of the Career Service website
- every year in October you can participate in Career Day International, a fair where international companies offer internships and work abroad
- you can apply for an internship in Europe with the contribution of an Erasmus grant, through the Erasmus + for Traineeship call
Master of European Design (MEDes)
The MEDes is a unique network of seven leading European design schools. During the five year programme, students are integrated into three design education systems and join a strong international community. These diverse experiences provide them with different approaches to design, multi-national perspectives and sensitivity to cultural differences. The MEDes course encourages and enables students to develop their creativity and imagination, their design research and investigation skills, and their professional executive practice.
