Free Mover

https://www.uniupo.it/en/international/students/you-want-come-upo/mobility-students/free-mover

Status as a visiting student (‘Free Mover’) can be granted to all incoming international students, provided that they are regularly enrolled at a university, whether in Europe or elsewhere in the world.

Curricular activities are based on the same rules applied by the Erasmus Programme. Currently, incoming students do not pay any university fee, and no funding can be offered to them.

UPO provides insurance and the same services enjoyed by Erasmus students. Incoming ‘Free Movers’ are also supported by UPO when applying for their “codice fiscale” (the Italian Tax Identification Number) and their residence permit (non-EU students only).

In order to be accepted by our University, please write to erasmus@uniupo.it stating your intention to come as a Free Mover, your name, surname, field of interest, level of study and don't forget to mention your Home University name. We will contact the Department Coordinator and let you know the procedure by email.
