30 November for the second semester

Please take into consideration that for  the students who apply for the Restoration course, a rigorous selection is foreseen,  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 applicant are requested to send a Curriculum containing the works made during the 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 practically work on these goods only if they can demonstrate preceding specific competences, which will be examinated by the Coordinator of the course or by the Director.

Staff mobility: it’s strongly recommended a level B2, for English    or   for Italian  language

1st  cycle/level = 3 years (Triennio = undergraduate, BA)
2nd  cycle /level = 2 years (Biennio = postgraduate, MA)

The Academy of Fine Arts of  L’Aquila offers the following Main courses:

• COMICS               (1^st level)

Please take into consideration that  the Erasmus students can choose classes in different main courses of the same level degree, in order to arrange their optimal planes of study and to update their Learning Agreement,  in the section “During the mobility”, within the first month of their Erasmus stay.  Normally, the students who have attended a three years   course (at least) at their  own University can be admitted to attend the second level courses in our Academy.

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, besides, to solve other practical problems involving logistics and to fit themselves into Academy and town contexts.

It can be very helpful to consult the AQUILASMUS – ESN L’AQUILA Welcome Message.

In our Academy the prevailing part of the courses spreads out for the whole academic year; that means the ideal time to spend for an Erasmus experience is that period. The students who choose to spend only one semester have to consider the 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 an intensification of the didactic work, the whole amount of credits and the consequent opportunity to give the related exams.
