The Faculty has Erasmus agreements with around 180 universities in more than 20 countries. By following the link through to the Partnerships page, you can see the list of our Erasmus bilateral agreements.
It is only possible to apply to the University of Milan via a reciprocal Erasmus agreement. Before you apply you need to check that your university/institution has an Erasmus exchange agreement with the University of Milan, and you need to ensure that it is with your department and at the correct level (e.g. Undergraduate or Graduate).
The basic condition to apply to the University of Milan as an Erasmus student is a regular nomination by your home university. Your home university should nominate you on the basis of your suitability for the programme, your excellent academic background and good level of proficiency in Italian.
You should also be currently studying in a similar area to the department of admission with a sufficient academic background in their subject to enable you to take classes alongside regular degree students.
Please note that without a regular nomination you will be not accepted as an ERASMUS student at the University of Milan and you will not be entitled to request accommodation services.
As an Erasmus student at the University of Milan, you must apply through an online application and follow the enrolment procedure, as described at the page: http://www.unimi.it/ENG/relations/31234.htm
All Erasmus students ought to be sufficiently competent in Italian to ensure that their academic progress and ability to integrate socially while studying at the University of Milan is not hindered by language difficulties. The suggested minimum requirement for students undertaking full degree programmes at the University of Milan is B2 (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages – CEFR).
Most Erasmus exchanges are subject-specific, so our agreements will normally be in one subject area. Nevertheless, you may choose courses within the whole Faculty independently from the department. Please note that there are some restrictions, and certain courses might not be open to Erasmus students.
The Faculty of Humanities offers a considerable number of courses in English, nevertheless the majority of them are in Italian. If your knowledge of Italian is below B2 you might rely on courses taught in English, or in other languages such as French, Spanish or German (offered by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature). As to the courses taught in Italian, some academic staff are prone to give Erasmus students the possibility to take exams in English. This is not a general rule, though, and must be verified beforehand.
All this said, it is your responsibility to research these possibilities to determine whether they represent good options towards your degree programme. Before you leave your country you should gather information about the course offer and reach an agreement with your faculty about the courses you will take in Milan.
To enquire about the courses you intend to take in Milan, you can either email your Erasmus Departmental Coordinator (see the list above) or get in touch with the Erasmus Office (erasmus.humanities@unimi.it).
