The Free Mover programme allows students to take mobility periods for study purposes at legally recognised universities with which IULM University does not have any agreements.

This represents a further opportunity, specifically if the student wishes to spend a mobility period at a certain university s/he is interested in.

Students are required to directly contact the university they are interested in and to observe all application procedures they will be provided with. Students must verify whether the host university offers programmes compatible with the individual study plan; all this information must be submitted to and approved by the Study Abroad Office. Interested students must have a good knowledge of the language spoken in the country they would like to study in.

This call for applications is published every year; deadlines are settled by the university chosen by the student. However, students must consider the technical time needed in order to have the courses approved in IULM. Therefore, no applications will be accepted if the destinations’ call deadlines are in less than a month. No financial support is provided for this programme.

The call for the mobility 2026/27 will be published in January 2026

Application form 2025 


Summer Sessions are summer courses organised by some European and non-European universities. They are intensive, fee-paying courses lasting a few weeks.  This is not an exchange programme and the universities are not necessarily IULM partners.

The Study Abroad Office, subject to the approval of the Academic Coordinators for Mobility, provides students with a list of universities offering courses consistent with IULM degree courses, specifying the conditions in order to transfer credits.
Once students have identified the courses they deem appropriate to their degree course and received approval from the Student Mobility Office, they will have to enrol independently at the foreign universities, according to the procedures established by the universities themselves.  
No grants will be awarded to students attending the Summer Session.

Please, note that:

1) The exam passed within the Summer Session programme allows the recognition of only of one course option (not core courses).
2)  In order to tranfer credits and grade for the exam taken abroad, it is necessary to obtain the approval from the Study Abroad Committee and pass the final assessment at the host university.  Attendance certificates are not valid for credit transfer. Students are required to submit the application for the Summer Session to IULM University no more than 15 days prior to the deadline fixed by the host university.

The call for the 2026 mobility will be published next February

Student Mobility Guidelines


The Erasmus+ 2021-27 programme has identified new priorities for universities including the full implementation of digital technologies, the development of digital skills and the innovation of teaching through the combination of physical mobility, online learning and interactive teaching. The aim is the development of mobility models that are more flexible thus allowing more students to participate and be included in international experiences.

The Erasmus Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) are a typical example of such innovative models.
BIPs combine short-term physical mobility with a virtual component and let participants to work on a common project within a multicultural inter-university team. Activities can take place at partner universities or at IULM (Internationalisation at home).

Since 2022 IULM University has been promoting several Blended Programme opportunities.

Challenges for the creative and luxury industry - traceability Europe 2025: BIP in cooperation with The American Business School - Paris and Kozminski University - Warsaw for students of the Bachelor's in Fashion and Creative Industries.

PAROLO - An international PR Project: BIP in cooperation with EFAP Paris, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and University of the Arts London for students on the Bachelor's in Corporate Communication and Public Relations.
