Students are no longer required to provide an official certificate attesting their Italian language level. However, we recommend that students have no less than an intermediate level of Italian to make daily life in Rome easier and more enjoyable.
ITALIAN LANGUAGES COURSES
Language courses are free of charge for all students who wish to attend them. In order to enroll in Sapienza Italian language courses, incoming Erasmus students must fill out the relevant section on their application form within the application deadlines!

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WELCOME WEEK
Sapienza organizes an International Students Welcome Week at the beginning of each semester. During the event, students receive useful information about academic and university life at Sapienza. It is a great opportunity to meet the Erasmus staff and members of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN).
ENROLMENT IN EXAMS FOR ERASMUS STUDENTS - INFOSTUD SERVICE
As an Erasmus student at Sapienza, once you have filled out your on-line application form, you will receive an username and a temporary password to access the Infostud service. Please, remember that you are not supposed to register on Infostud by yourself! At this point, your registration number (“matricola”) will not be active, yet. You will have to change your password to access other Infostud services. Your registration number will be fully activated only once the Erasmus office of The Social and economic sciences Department have validated your arrival in Rome. If you lose your registration number and/or your password, please contact: erasmusincoming@uniroma1.it . For any doubts, please carefully read the Guide to use Infostud system.
UPON ARRIVAL:
In order to do the registration, all documents must be sent to the Department Erasmus office: flavia.orlandi@uniroma1.it:
- Travel tickets (such as boarding pass, train tickets etc.) which can prove the day you arrive
- Arrival Certificate provided by your home University
These documents are mandatory to complete your registration. Once the registration phase is completed, you will be sent the credentials to access INFOSTUD, a platform to book the exams and check the results.
TO ATTEND CLASSES:
It is possible to see the courses provided by our department at the following link: https://web.uniroma1.it/disse/didattica (at the top right you can change the language to English).
You can also choose exams from other departments, but we strongly recommend you to take at least one exam in our department of Social and Economic Sciences.
You can check the entire Sapienza’s academic offer at the following link: https://corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it/en
NOTE: For our Department it is not necessary to register for attending classes (just for taking exams), however other departments may have different rules. Therefore, in case you have chosen courses outside our Department/Faculty, you should always contact the professors concerned directly and ask them if it possible to attend their course and if you need to register. In case you don’t receive information from them, you can contact the Erasmus Coordinator of the faculty where you will be attending the course (https://corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it/en).
FILL IN THE OPIS QUESTIONNAIRE:
Don't forget to fill in the Student Opinion (OPIS) questionnaire available on Infostud for each of the courses you attend before taking each exam. It is anonymous, it is mandatory and it is required to improve services and training courses.
TO TAKE EXAMS:
The exam sessions are scheduled in January and February for the winter semester, and in June and July for the summer session. In order to take the exams, the chosen course must be searched for and booked through INFOSTUD. After the confirmation of the booking, you will receive a receipt, which you have to print and bring to the exam to make it signed by the professor. This is a very important document for validating the exams you took.
Remember: You cannot take any exam after the end of your mobility period!
END OF MOBILITY:
In order to end your Erasmus mobility (at the end of the mobility period):
- It is mandatory to fill in the End of mobility procedures and feedback form sent to you by the Erasmus office.
- You must tell the office the date of your last exam, which will be considered as the end date of your mobility and will be filled in on your attendance form (the exam does not have to be passed, as long as it is at least taken and there is proof of the attempt).
- You must send the office your travel tickets and the Certificate of Attendance provided by your home University. We will send it back to you signed within 2 weeks.
- Finally, once all the exams will be registered on Infostud, please notify the Erasmus office so the Transcript of record can be sent to you and to your home university.
