Incoming exchange students @unibo

General info

Covid-19 emergency

Read the measures adopted by the University of Bologna to allow university activities to be carried out safely and pay close attention to the section dedicated to student incoming mobility.

Learning activities in presence and in remote mode

In the a.y. 2020/21 the University of Bologna offers blended teaching activities, held in classrooms but also accessible remotely. The possibility of offering in-presence teaching is linked to the progress of the health emergency and the decisions of the Italian government. Not all students are guaranteed the opportunity to attend lectures in person.
For more information on lectures, exams and internships

It is possible to carry out mobility remotely (virtual mobility), on site, or by combining the two modes. Two mode changes are allowed during a mobility. It is not possible to interrupt the mobility period. For example, you can start your mobility remotely and then arrive at the University of Bologna for spending a part of your mobility on site. If necessary, at the end of the on-site mobility part, you can complete your activities remotely.

All information relating to on-site mobility also applies to remote (virtual) mobility as far as compatible.
