Learning Agreement

The program is based on the fundamental criterion of mutual trust between the institutions (golden rule); this allows to simplify as much as possible the recognition of the studies carried out at the partner institution. By attending courses and taking exams you can earn credits that will become part of your curriculum studiorum. Credits can be acquired by carrying out full-time study activities. The study plan containing the educational activities to be carried out abroad is called the Learning Agreement.

The Learning Agreement must be completed online on Esse3 before departure and must be approved by the home Coordinator and by the Coordinator at the Host university. In compiling the Learning Agreement you will need to match the courses you intend to follow at the host University with the corresponding courses taught at the University of Trento. During the Erasmus period, you can modify it after having agreed and formalized any changes with both the home and host Coordinator.

Which exams can I take abroad?

With regard to the teaching activity to be carried out abroad, the student assignee of Erasmus grant must:

  • choose the courses to be carried out abroad compatibly with their study plan;
  • enter the agreed exams in the Esse3 online system according to the deadlines indicated by the International Mobility Office and submit the LA;
  • wait for the approval of the Coordinator (teacher): at this point the LA will be approved by the UniTrento side and must be countersigned by the host university.

When filling in the LA, the following general rules must be observed:

  • it is not possible to insert courses corresponding to exams already taken;
  • it is possible to include mandatory, elective and free choice courses in the Learning Agreement (even for years subsequent to the enrollment year)
  • foreign language courses can be included in the LA, as long as they are of a higher level than the one already acquired in Trento and compatibly with the study program regulations;
  • internship activities can be included in the LA provided that: • the internship is carried out under the supervision of the host University; • the study activity remains the main mobility activity; • the internship activity is reported in the Transcript of Records issued or by the host University or other certification issued by the host University
  • it it is not possible to enter only supernumerary exams
  • thesis research is not foreseen within the study period for Law students

Specific rules and instructions for filling in the Learning Agreement for students of the Faculty of Law are available in the document at the bottom of the page, to be read carefully.
