Philosophical Sciences-Enrolled from 2017/2018

The Department of Philosophy entertains Erasmus exchanges with European universities since more than ten years, inviting students to take advantage of them. In the last few years, the Erasmus announcement is published in the web site of the Department and is presented to the students in a meeting organized by the Erasmus Department Coordinator where the different opportunities and areas of research are presented. As the number of universities sharing an exchange with the Department is remarkable, all philosophical areas are covered by the different universities: History of Philosophy, Theoretic Philosophy, Moral Philosophy, Aesthetics, Philosophy of language, Logic and Philosophy of Science. Moreover, many universities offer non-philosophical courses to the students.
The candidates are selected considering their motivation, their academic career and their foreign language proficiency. The commission evaluating the students is made up of professors working at the Department of Philosophy.
The successful candidates fulfil the Learning Agreement with the Erasmus Department Coordinator and discuss with her any change of it by e-mail while they are abroad. The students who send the Learning Agreement to the Erasmus Department Coordinator by e-mail receive it back with the Coordinator's electronic signature and they can ask their hosting university to countersign before returning to Italy.
When the students are back to Italy, their successfully passed exams (documented by the Transcript of records) are converted into Italian exams according to the Learning Agreement; the exam conversions and the relative marks are submitted for approval to the Philosophy Didactic Board.
For a couple of years now, the Department of Philosophy has two Erasmus Placement exchanges for Master students. The successful candidates are offered training to philosophical research and its organization at the University of Barcelona (area of Philosophy of language and Metaphysics) and at the CNRS of Paris (area of Aesthetics). The Department has deliberated to acknowledge up to 6 ECTS (as laboratories) to the students going abroad during their Master course. The International Agreements and Relations Office awards a diploma to the students going abroad after their academic degree.
