Study abroad

MBC students are given the opportunity to spend part of their curriculum abroad, at a University within the European Union (EU), in the context of the Erasmus+ mobility for study program of the European Commission. Students can attend courses and sit exams that can be included in the core curriculum and/or perform their practical thesis in several European Universities localized in North Europe (Norway, Denmark, Netherlands), France, Germany, Ireland and Iberian Peninsula (visit the link: https://dbs.unimi.it/it/rapporti-internazionali/il-dipartimento-nel-mon…). Most of the European Universities offer master courses taught in English. The Erasmus+ mobility for study call is released each year, usually in February. More information can be found at https:// www.unimi.it/en/international/study-abroad/studying-abroad-erasmus.
Thanks to the participation of the University of Milan in the 4EU+ Alliance, MBC students have the opportunity to earn academic credits (up to a maximum of 12) by attending courses virtually at partner universities (Sorbonne Université in Paris, Paris-Panthéon-Assas University, Charles University in Prague, University of Copenhagen, University of Geneva, Heidelberg University, and the University of Warsaw).
Students interested in conducting research abroad as part of their thesis can also take advantage of the Erasmus+ mobility for Traineeship program and the "Thesis Abroad" call.
Accepted students must present a study plan that reports all the activities he/she intends to perform abroad, detailing the corresponding CFUs; the number of proposed CFUs should approximately correspond to those the student would have
achieved over the same time period in his/her university. The proposed Erasmus+ program study plan, must be coherent with the MBC course content and must be evaluated and approved by the Academic Board. If necessary, the Academic
Board may request the student to integrate the program of exams taken abroad. In accordance with the rules established by the Academic Senate, following completion of the Erasmus+ program, approved exams will be registered, possibly with
the original denomination, as part of the student's curriculum, upon the conversion of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) into CFUs.
If the student performs the experimental thesis work abroad, he/she must follow the rules outlined above (see Internship criteria and Rules for the thesis and final exam).
