Incoming exchange students @unibo

General info

Covid-19 emergency

From 1 May 2022 it is no longer mandatory to have a Green Pass (EU digital COVID certificate), issued in a country of the European Union or the Schengen Area,  to carry out activities on site. 

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 and to the instructions on how to obtain the Green Pass on the Campuses of the University of Bologna.

Learning activities in presence and in remote mode

Lectures

In the second semester of the academic year 2021/22, teaching activities (lectures, practices, etc.) will take place in blended mode, 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.

Exams

From February 2022, exams will take place in presence. Important! Only until 31 May 2022, exchange students @unibo will be exempt from the obligation to sit exams in presence and will be allowed to take exams online.

For more information on lectures, exams and internships

In the blended teaching period, 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. 

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