International exchanges and Erasmus opportunities for Luiss students

Luiss offers its students numerous opportunities to study abroad. It promotes credit mobility primarily through the Erasmus+ EU programme, but also via bilateral agreements with non-European universities. These programmes enable Luiss students to spend a semester at a partner university, with full academic recognition for the study programme they complete abroad.

Luiss has been awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education 2021–2027, which enables it to participate in the Erasmus+ programme. Luiss Erasmus Policy Statement and ECHE Charter Luiss University 2021–2027 (and Italian version).

The university has been taking part in the Erasmus Programme since its inception in 1987. 

Thanks to the programme, over four million students have had the opportunity to engage with different educational traditions and cultural contexts, experiencing the fascination of discovering “the other”.

Over the years, it has succeeded in developing an extensive and high-quality network of connections and agreements with universities across Europe and around the world.

Student mobility agreements are founded on the principle of reciprocity and enable students from both institutions to undertake a period of study without paying any kind of tuition fee to the partner institution. Instead, the student is responsible for the costs of travel, food, and accommodation. 

Students can take part in international exchange programmes by applying in response to the call for international exchanges. The call for applications is published every year in December.

Students are selected based on criteria of academic merit and language proficiency.

Students also have the opportunity to study abroad on short programmes during the summer.
