Remember to always check the specific course units’ timetables linked in the Course Unit Catalogue.
You can search for course units using the UNIBO comprehensive course unit catalogue tool.
We require Erasmus+ incoming students to choose at least 50% of modules within the study area they have been nominated for.
If you wish to add courses from other areas, you need to ask confirmation to the relevant International Relations Office and forward us their response. Here you can find all contacts.
UNIBO offers courses in Economics & Management and Statistics in three different campuses: remember to choose units within the campus you have been nominated for.
Campus change is only allowed when there are no equivalent/available courses in the destination campus, with the approval of the referent teacher.
When courses are divided in two or more modules (moduli), you must take all the modules.
We also offer some “I.C.” (Integrated Courses). That means that the “big” (integrated) learning activity is made of single course units, which can be taken also singularly by exchange students.
How to double check if you can take only one module or unit?
If the course is divided into modules you will have just one code for the whole learning activity, while I.C. have one code for the whole course and two or more single codes for the single units. Only in the latter case you will be able to take the exam for the single unit(s), provided that you fill in your study plan accordingly.
So read the details of each result carefully and use the filters to facilitate your search.
1) LEVEL OF STUDY: Undergraduate students are allowed to attend courses from undergraduate programmes only (Laurea or Laurea Triennale/First cycle degree programme/EQF level 6).
If you are an undergraduate student in your 4th or 5th year of study (where applicable), or you have reached more than 180 ECTS credits already, then you will be allowed to choose graduate-level courses too (Laurea Magistrale/Second cycle degree programme/EQF level 7). Be sure that this is stated in your Learning Agreement or send us a proof of that.
If you are a graduate student, you can choose both undergraduate and graduate courses.
The level/cycle of the degree programme in which course units are framed is stated in the results from the course unit catalogue tool, together with the language of teaching and the name of the teacher.
2) LIMITED PLACES: Some of our degree programmes offer limited places for incoming exchange students.
Our Bachelor’s Degrees with limited places are:
- CLABE – Business and Economics
- CLEA - Economia Aziendale
- CLEF - Economics and Finance
- CLAMM - Management and Marketing
- EPOS - Economics, Politics and Social Sciences
- EMI - Economia, Mercati e Istituzioni
Our Master’s Degrees with limited places are:
- CLAMDA – Direzione Aziendale
- MIM – International Management
- GIOCA – Innovation and Organization of Culture and the Arts
- LMEC - Economics and Econometrics
- LEGo - Law, Economics and Governance
- LEIF - Law and Economics of International Finance
- CLAMEP - Economia, Consulenza e Professioni
- ClamFIM - Finanza, Intermediari e Mercati
- HEMAP - HEALTH ECONOMICS, MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
- PAE - Policy, Anlysis and Evaluation
If you wish to pick any course unit from these programmes, we strongly advise you to upload your Learning Agreement on AlmaRM as soon as possible, before your arrival. We will reserve a place on a first-come-first-served basis and let you know if the course is full already.
NB: All the modules offered by MIM and GIOCA require at least 70% of attendance.
The list of Degree Programmes offered by UNIBO is here. You can use the filters to narrow your search according to campus, language of teaching, and study level.
You will find the link to each Degree Programme website.
We suggest you click on the tab Programme and then on Course structure diagram to consult the course units offered within each Degree Programme and when they are planned, if in the first semester (September-December) or in second semester (February-July).
Our programmes workload is 30 ECTS credits per semester, but you are free to take less or more, according to your home University requirements.
Please note that 1 Italian university credit (CFU) equals 1 European credit (ECTS) , accounting for a total of 25 study hours, that include both traditional lectures/distance learning/laboratories and your study at home.
One tip: if you choose course units taught within the same year of the same degree programme, classes timetables and exam dates will never overlap. This might happen in case you choose courses from different years or different programmes.
You have two options to submit your Learning Agreement: uploading it on AlmaRM or via EWP
We will sign your Learning Agreement!
There is no current deadline on our side to receive it, but we suggest you send it as soon as possible.
Remember that many courses of first and second cycle degree of the Area of Economics and Management have limited places for incoming exchange students - we will register your name in our list when we sign your Learning agreement.
After receiving our confirmation email, or our signature on your Learning Agreement, you will just need to fill in your online study plan accordingly. You will be able to do it via StudentiOnline after you check-in at UNIBO International Relations Division (DIRI) Exchange Students Desk upon your arrival.
As International Relations Office for the Area of Economics & Management and Statistics, we will help you with any academic issue.
You must register in order to take exams. You can do it on StudentiOnline clicking on AlmaEsami. On AlmaEsami you will find a list of the course units included in your study plan and all exam details (date, room etc.). Registrations usually open 2-3 weeks before each exam date (appello) and remain open until a couple of days before the exam date.
Attendance is not compulsory in Italian public Universities. Nonetheless, we advise you to attend all classes. There might be some exceptions or specific course materials for non-attenders, so always check the syllabus and introduce yourself to the teacher.
Remember that all MIM and GIOCA course units do require compulsory attendance (at least 70%).
For information about on-site vs. remote attendance, check the relative paragraph.
You can attend Italian taught classes if you do speak Italian. UNIBO does not require any certification, but at least an A2 CEFR level is recommended. Be honest in self-assessing your Italian language knowledge: exchange students are treated just as enrolled students and will sit the same kind of exam. You cannot take the exam in language different than the language of teaching.
If you are interested in improving your Italian, check this page. The University Language Centre (CLA) offers Italian language courses worth 5 ECTS credits that you can include in your Learning Agreement. These courses have no code and you do will not have to insert them in your online study plan.
Check this link for any information about accommodation. Important: Bologna welcomes a large number of students each year (more than 3000!) and housing can be an issue. Start looking for accommodation well in advance!
You can find any other information about TO DO’s before and upon your arrival at http://www.unibo.it/en/exchange-students
