1. The Call
Every year, approximately around January-February, the Call for Non-European Mobility is published, which indicates the necessary requirements for admission, the method and deadline for submitting the application, and the list of foreign Partner Universities.
→ Click here for all necessary information to participate ←
Applications can only be submitted online. You must log in to with your S.O.L. credentials and choose the competition.
Applications must be completed exclusively via the appropriate online procedure. The student must connect to the webpage https://ammissioni.unifi.it, use their S.O.L. access credentials, then authenticate and choose “Selezione per la formazione di graduatorie per la mobilità internazionale Extra-EU" ("Selection for the formation of rankings for Extra-EU international mobility").
Please note: Applying for the Erasmus+ mobilities (for study and/or traineeship) does not exclude participation in the Non-EU mobility call, as long as the mobility periods don’t overlap.
2. Partner University assignment and acceptance
According to the criteria set out in the Call, students will be assigned to the Partner Universities through a score based on merit, in decreasing order and based on their preferences (maximum 2). If there is no availability at the Partner Universities you selected, you will not be included in the ranking list.
The ranking list will be published at https://ammissioni.unifi.it including the student's score, the assigned Partner University and the duration of the scholarship.
All related updates will be available for students at the “I tuoi concorsi - your competitions” section of the webpage. You will not receive personal communication. If you don’t accept the Partner University that you have been assigned to, you will be excluded from the ranking for the Non-EU Mobility.
The definitive list of students who win the Call will be published by a Rector’s Decree at the webpage: < https://www.unifi.it/p7464.html >. Winners will be assigned a monthly scholarship for travel expenses and for the cost of living, according to the University of Florence's availability.
3. The Application
Once you have accepted the Partner University, you must prepare your Application, which is a formal request to be enrolled in the Partner University.
Please note that, you will have to ask for study or research Visas to be able to depart for non-EU countries. You may contact the foreign Embassy once you have received the Nominal Letter of Acceptance.
If your mobility is for study purposes (all abroad or blended), you must earn at least 1 university credit (CFU) if you spend less than 2 months abroad, or at least 3 CFUs if you spend more than 3 months abroad. If you are spending a period of your doctorate abroad, you must be able to provide documentation that proves that you are researching abroad.
4. Learning Agreement
Once you have accepted the Partner University, you must contact the Professor who is responsible for the mobility procedures, so as to complete your enrollment and fill out your L.A.
Your Learning Agreement is an academic agreement which specifies the exams or activities that you will carry out while abroad (including the corresponding Italian exams, if applicable).

You must finish the agreement before leaving, but you will be able to modify it whenever you need to, as long as both UniFi and the Partner University agree and sign the modified version.
Procedure to follow AFTER the publication of the ranking

2. You must attach your L.A. proposal to erasmus@agraria.unifi.it, subject line “L.A per

Changing your L.A. during the mobility
If you need to change your L.A. while abroad, you may agree on new courses or activities with your Italian tutor via email and your abroad tutor in person, then modify the second page of your L.A., in the section "During the mobility".
The form to fill out to change your L.A. is the same that you filled out before leaving.
