The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), has invited eligible Master's and PhD students to apply for two Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM) places at the University of L'Aquila, Italy, during the second semester of the 2026/2027 academic year.
The opportunity is organised through FUTA's Department of Mathematical Sciences, School of Physical Sciences and covers Mathematics and interdisciplinary programmes involving Mathematics and Statistics.
Mobility duration and financial support
Selected students will undertake a placement lasting at least two months and no more than five months, with provision for an extension to July 2027.
- Monthly allowance: €900.
- Travel grant for FUTA students: €580.
- Additional support for students with fewer opportunities: €250 per month.
Who can apply
Applicants must be enrolled in a Master's (second-cycle) or PhD (third-cycle) programme and demonstrate strong academic performance and proficiency in English or Italian.
They must also provide a clear study plan that is not AI-generated, together with a curriculum vitae (CV) and a motivation letter.
Documents required for FUTA Erasmus+ mobility
- CV using the provided CV template.
- Motivation letter.
- Learning Agreement using the provided Learning Agreement template.
- Academic transcript.
- Language proficiency certificate.
- Erasmus+ participation history or a declaration.
- Supporting documents for applicants seeking additional support under the fewer-opportunities category.
- International passport valid until at least June 2028.
How to apply and submission deadline
Interested students must submit three hard copies and a soft copy of their application documents to the Department of Mathematical Sciences, second floor of the School of Physical Sciences (SPS) Building, FUTA.
The deadline is Tuesday, 24 November 2026 at 12 noon, Nigerian time. Late or incomplete applications and submissions that do not comply with the requirements, will not be considered.
Applicants must use an institutional email address, not Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail.
This mathematics-focused placement in Italy is distinct from FUTA's separate Erasmus mobility call for graduate students in Spain.
