The University of Bologna has requested a funding for supporting an academic exchange at undergraduate and staff level with the Ain Shams University.

For students: what can you do during the mobility? And how can you identify the subjects we offer and you wish to attend during the exchange? First of all, the Erasmus+ ICM scholarship funds exchange for study purposes only. So, it does not fund internships, complete degrees or any other activity than study. “Study” means attending classes, seating final examinations and receive the corresponding credits. The following restrictions are applicable:
some of the English taught programmes have restricted enrolment, exchange ispossible only after the School has approved the mobility plan of the nominee; it is not possible to verify this at the moment of the application. We will verify it ONLY if and when the student has been actually selected for the mobility;
programmes offered at the School of Medicine are not open to the exchange; Dentistry is not open to exchange; Physiotherapy is not open to exchange; the School of Economics, Management and Statistics admits at master level onlygraduate students:
undergraduates cannot attend as exchange student master coursesoffered by this School; professional masters, summer or winter schools are not open to exchange.
