| Admission criteria: |
Applicants will be selected on the basis of: the complete application documents, the chosen study program, the portfolio and the balance between incoming/outgoing students (reciprocity of exchanges). |
| Acceptance |
Each student will receive an individual acceptance document, by e-mail, within two weeks or, at the latest, within a month after the deadline.
Since the courses are mostly articulated during the whole academic year, it is strongly suggested to have an Erasmus stay here for this whole period.
As concerns the course of Restoration, due to the particular organization of the practical lessons, only applications for the whole academic year can be accepted.
Please take into consideration that for the students who apply for the Restoration courses, a rigorous selection is needed, due to the limited number of available places. It’s strongly recommended a very high knowledge of the Italian language (B1 at least) besides, the applicants are requested to send a Curriculum containing the works made during the previous study period and the competences acquired on practical activities of Restoration. In our Academy the students work on Archeological goods, protected by the Cultural and Archeological State Authorities, so incoming students can work on these goods only if they can demonstrate preceding specific competences, which will be examined by the Coordinator of the course or by the Director. |

| HOUSING AND OTHER SUPPORT ACTIVITIES |
| In order to find an accommodation, the incoming students are invited to keep in touch with the local Erasmus Students network (ESN L’Aquila), at the following address: housing@esnlaquila.it.
On the base of a specific Agreement with this Association, ESN L’Aquila – AQUILASMUS (which is the local Association of ESN (Erasmus Student Network) ITALIA) helps the incoming Erasmus students to find a provisional and/or a final accommodation and it also helps solve other practical problems involving logistics and accommodation into the Academy and town contexts. Info: info@esnlaquila.it . Internet: www.esnlaquila.it
It can also be very helpful to consult the AQUILASMUS – ESN L’AQUILA Welcome Message. |
| ATTENDANCE |
| The attendance of the classes is mandatory. The Erasmus students, once decided the courses which they want to put into their Learning Agreements, must attend all the lessons of the chosen courses in order to obtain the needed and agreed on number of credits and, consequently, to have the opportunity to be admitted to the exams.
In our Academy the prevailing part of the courses are spread out during the whole academic year; that means the ideal time to remain for a complete Erasmus experience is that long. The students who choose to spend only one semester (with the exception of the Restoration courses students) have to consider only half of the annual number of credits on their preliminary Learning Agreements; once arrived in our Institution, they can agree with each professor on the possibility to obtain, with extra work, the whole amount of credits and the consequent opportunity to give the related exams.
For the Erasmus student of Restoration, only applications for the whole academic year can be accepted. |
