Study abroad

A concise vademecum on Erasmus is available on the degree course website, in the student notice board.
The agreements, on a reciprocal basis, provide for the annual incoming and outgoing mobility of students and lecturers between the University of Milan and universities in numerous countries, including: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Hungary.
The specific list of universities of possible destination for students of the degree course in Cultural, Intellectual and Visual History can be found in Annex A of the call for applications on this page: https://www.unimi.it/it/internazionale/studiare-allestero/partire-con-e….
With the annual Erasmus+ call for applications, the University of Milan also allocates study trips to the Swiss Confederation which derive from the bilateral agreements with Swiss universities stipulated as part of the SEMP- Swiss European Mobility Programme.
Students enrolled in the Master's degree programme in Cultural, Intellectual and Visual History may spend a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months during the two-year course of study at the partner universities. The average stay abroad is generally 5/6 months.
The work carried out abroad (course attendance, examinations, possible research for the thesis) is recognised on return with a number of ECTS that takes into account the activities carried out in relation to the duration of the stay. The work programme, set out in a Learning Agreement, is drawn up on departure, based on the courses, examinations and activities that the student decides to take at the partner university according to the requirements of his/her Italian study plan. The attention paid by the lecturers in charge in identifying a broad and precise correspondence between the University of Milan and the partner universities' courses on offer allows the student to profitably enter the foreign course and acquire the necessary credits to complete his/her Italian course of study. The fields of study that can be developed are essentially the historical ones, but it is also possible to acquire credits in other fields of humanistic studies.
The degree course has a permanent contact person for internationalisation through Erasmus.
Each year, specific meetings are organised for outgoing students of the degree course in Cultural, Intellectual and Visual History in order to provide them with information on the various locations and useful contacts.
The Department of Historical Studies is also active in the Erasmus Plus-Placement programme, which envisages mobility also for recent graduates (within 12 months of graduation), providing information on the relevant calls for proposals on its website and taking steps to identify international partners (archives, libraries, publishing houses, cultural institutes and universities) that can host interns for professional training.
