COURSES OFFERED
The International First and Second Cycle Degree Courses of the Vanvitelli University can be:
• Entirely in a foreign language, leading to a qualification issued by the Vanvitelli University
• In Italian, or in a foreign language leading to a double, joint or multiple qualification
The latter are courses organized with other foreign Universities that provide for integration of the curricula and structured mobility schemes of the students, with the mutual recognition of the training activities.
The issue of double or multiple titles implies that, at the end of the programme, students obtain not only a degree from their home university but also the academic qualifications from the other participating universities where they have obtained learning credits.
In this section you will find the calls for admission to access limited enrollment study courses a.y. 2023/2024. The call for admission is being finalized and will be published as soon as it will be available. We recommend to consult the page frequently.
The call for admission contains all the information fro the application: number of places available, requirements for participation, deadlines and methods for submitting applications. Read the call for admission carefully and submit the application form.

Before the mobility
Registration & Application
- Before arriving in Italy, you must register on the University website by logging in to: https://esse3.unicampania.it/AddressBook/ABStartProcessoRegAction.do
This step is necessary to obtain the institutional credentials required for step 2.
- Then, go to: https://elixforms.unicampania.it/rwe2/module_preview.jsp?MODULE_TAG=student_application_form&IATL=it&ELANG=en
and complete the application form up to section 8 (“LA/OLA”).
At this point, you must upload your Online Learning Agreement (OLA), which should be completed through the EWP platform.
If your home university does not use the EWP platform (for example, universities from non-EU countries), you may instead submit a paper Learning Agreement (LA).
This document must be signed first by you and then by your Erasmus coordinator at the sending university, and then sent to
The International Office will forward the LA to the Erasmus Coordinator (https://www.unicampania.it/RipartizioniFS/RAG/International/Erasmus_Coordinators_pag_web_new_07-04-2025.pdf) for their signature; once signed, it will be returned to you so that you can attach it to the Application Form.
Students with disabilities can apply for support at our Center for Inclusion (CID) https://inclusione.unicampania.it/.
While exchange students can choose between OLA and paper LA, traineeship students must submit a paper LA (not an OLA).
The section of the Application Form called “Proposed mobility program,” which contains the list of exams you plan to take during your mobility period, must be completed in any case. However, it does not replace the OLA/LA.
For help completing the OLA/LA, you can consult the course catalogue https://www.unicampania.it/index.php/international/international-students#course-catologue.
It is important to include in the “Proposed mobility programme” section the correct exam codes as shown in your OLA/LA. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to sit those exams, as the International Office will not be able to add them to your student record.
If you intend to take only part of an exam (a specific module), you must enter the code of the full exam and specify the name of the individual module you wish to attend. Exam codes can be found in the course catalogue under “Exam code.”
For information about the academic calendar and class schedule, please visit: https://www.unicampania.it/index.php/studenti/2016-01-28-14-08-16
