This section lists the destinations—organized by country—where Architecture students can carry out an Erasmus+ mobility period. For each host institution, the website, Erasmus+ code, and ISCED code (indicating the subject area of the academic offering, e.g., ARCHITECTURE) are provided.

The list of partner universities available for Erasmus+ mobility in a given academic year will be published exclusively at the time of the release of the University’s annual call for applications.

The Call for Applications for Erasmus+ Study Mobility is published annually on the University website, typically between December and January.

Applications must be submitted exclusively through the Turul online platform.

Successful Applicants

Candidates selected in the University ranking (published on the Turul platform) will receive a notification from the International Relations Office of the School of Architecture, which will proceed with the nomination to the host institution.
The host institution may require the student to complete an application procedure, either online or by submitting documents via email. Application procedures and deadlines are usually provided on the host university’s website, which students are strongly advised to consult well in advance.

Learning Agreement (LA)

A key requirement for Erasmus+ students is the completion of the Learning Agreement.
The Learning Agreement outlines the study plan, listing the courses the student intends to take abroad and their corresponding Italian equivalents. At the time of application to the Erasmus+ Study Mobility programme, students must submit a preliminary Learning Agreement for their first-choice destination.
Please note that the Learning Agreement must be agreed upon with the Erasmus+ coordinator of the student’s degree programme.

The final Learning Agreement, for the assigned destination, must be completed online. Each student must log in to their personal page on the Student Career Management System (GCS) using SPID credentials, following the detailed instructions provided in the document available in the Useful Notes section.

LOGIN TO GCS

Only in cases where it is not possible to complete or submit the Learning Agreement online, students may fill it out in PDF format using the following template: Learning-Agreement_PDF

Before departure, the student will receive the mobility contract.
For information regarding the grant or any additional financial support, please contact:  outgoing.erasmus@unifi.it

Upon arrival at the host institution, the student must have the confirmation of the study period signed by the host university’s International Office and send it to outgoing.erasmus@unifi.it within 15 days.

During the mobility period, it is possible to modify the Learning Agreement, provided the changes are pre-approved by the Erasmus coordinator of the student's degree programme.
Changes must be made through the GCS platform, following the instructions in the guide.

Only if it is not possible to complete the Learning Agreement online, the following template may be used. Learning_AgreementErasmus+Change 

During the mobility period, it is possible to request an extension by completing the appropriate forms.
Please note that in the case of an extension, the grant may not always be guaranteed.

Extension request

Before returning from the mobility period, students must request the following from the host institution:

• The end date of the mobility period to be included in the Confirmation of Study Period.
• Thesis Research Only: The stamp on the Thesis Research Confirmation document, signed by the local supervisor who oversaw your research activities.
• The Transcript of Records (TOR) – the document in which the host institution certifies the exams you have taken, the corresponding grades, and any additional activities carried out during the mobility period, as agreed upon in the Learning Agreement.

Within 15 days of returning to Italy, students must submit the Confirmation of Study Period—indicating the exact dates of the recently completed mobility—to the Servizi alla Didattica Office at outgoing.erasmus@unifi.it

Be sure to copy (Cc) archint@unifi.it in the email.

• The Transcript of Records (ToR) issued by the host university;
• The Request for Recognition of Credits Obtained Abroad.

If the student has also conducted thesis research during the mobility period, they must additionally submit the Thesis Research Confirmation document, stamped by the host university and signed by the foreign professor supervising the research.
