What does “free mover” mean?
It means moving on your own to other Universities and institutions across the world in order to carry out study or research, independently from being enrolled at Unibo. Sometimes host Universities assign the status of "visiting student" to people engaging in this kind of experience.
It is important to notice that this experience is entirely free and carried out autonomously. If you decide to pursue it, you will not obtain the status of 'exchange student' even if you go to a University sharing a mobility or exchange agreement of any kind with Unibo.
You should ask the University or institution you are interested in by yourself if you want to know whether they provide for this kind of possibility and at what conditions.
Given the nature of this experience, there are no prior authorization procedures either by Unibo offices or by the Degree Programme Board.
As it is carried out autonomously during your current studies, you will not be able to apply for recognition of activities in your Unibo student records.
Similarly, Unibo does not provide nomination letters or any funding to free movers.
