The "STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD" (SAW) programme provides for the allocation of financial support for mobility grants for study at non-European universities within the framework of international cooperation agreements.
Students who are regularly enrolled at the University of Messina will be able to spend a period from 3 to 6 months and the mandatory minimum acquisition of 12 ECTS at one of the partner universities. During the mobility, students will be able to attend the courses/internships of the host universities, take the relevant exams and/or carry out research activity aimed at preparing the degree thesis.
Only for students enrolled in a Degree Course that foresees the Practical Evaluation Traineeship, it is possible to carry out this activity for a shorter period of time and for a number of ECTS lower than the minimum required by this Call, after checking with the competent contact person of the Degree Course (Traineeship Commission/contact person for international mobility/coordinator of the Degree Course) and with the Host Institution, in compliance with the provisions of the Internal Regulation of the Degree Course for the purposes of recognition of the aforementioned Traineeship.
Beneficiaries will be granted a contribution towards the costs of food, lodging and travel. The scholarship can reach a total monthly amount between a minimum of 500 euros and a maximum of 900 euros (based on the ISEE presented). Each beneficiary will also be provided with a one-off extra contribution (round-trip) for travel expenses.
The scholarship is intended as a contribution to the mobility costs incurred in the host country.
The study/internship activity for the mobility period will be agreed with the UniME Department of reference and with the foreign university through the Learning Agreement for Studies/Traineeship.
PhD students are not eligible to participate in the call.
