Erasmus / Bilateral Exchanges

Come to Luiss 2024Handbook - Spring Semester 24-25FAQs Incoming

The Luiss Student Mobility office promotes student exchanges within the Erasmus Program, as well as through bilateral exchange agreements with non-European universities. It provides information and assistance to all students participating in these study abroad programs. All procedures are based on the ECTS system. A substantial part of this activity is devoted to the orientation and support of foreign students, to whom the following section is addressed.

Who can apply as an incoming exchange student

First of all, you should be aware of the fact that the Student Mobility Office of Luiss Guido Carli will accept exchange students only under the Erasmus Program or Bilateral Exchange Agreements. Exchange students apply for admission through the Student Exchange (in_erasmusexchange@luiss.it).

The steps you should take and things you should know

• Contact the international coordinator at your home university. Each sending institution is responsible for the selection of students.
• Ask them for all the information, documents, brochures, and application forms related to Luiss student exchange programs.
• We channel all relevant information through partner institutions and do not usually send additional packages to the students selected for the exchange.
• Read the instructions carefully before you apply.
