How to apply

All the students enrolled in the first year of the above mentioned Master courses may apply to a Double Degree Program. Applications will be managed directly by the Departments every year (in January/February). The selected candidates will spend their mobility period at the partner institution during the second year of study and will be supported with Erasmus+ tools and funds.

Students apply to a yearly internal selection specific for each degree course, where the most worthy candidates have the opportunity to undertake a double qualification path, supported by a scholarship thus spending a study period abroad within the Erasmus+ programme. Students must apply online to the Erasmus+ call (January/February) and specify a host double degree University partner. Within the deadline they shall also submit the additional documentation, as required by both the Call and the Department.
Our University publishes a Call that includes Double Degree mobilities every year, usually in February.

The AY 2020/2021 Call expired on March 31st, 2020.

PLEASE NOTE: A very important requirement for students willing to participate in the selection is the advanced knowledge of the English language and/or the language of the host Country: some host institutions accept mobilities only for candidates duly presenting a language certification.

Ranking lists

The Double Degrees ranking lists are published on this website (“Commissione, svolgimento ed esiti” menu).

The assignees must confirm and accept the assigned destination, among the three preferences listed, and specify the departure period (first semester, second semester, whole academic year), through the online acceptance form within the deadline.
After the deadline and the possible renunciations, the Office gets in touch with students that haven’t been assigned a destination who will analogously specify their preferred location among the ones left.
Students who have been excluded by the Office will not be contacted. They might participate in future Calls in the next Academic Years.

PLEASE NOTE: At the end of the procedure students who have not confirmed their destination will be considered as “renunciative”; students who have rejected their destination, despite being among their preferences, will be considered as “renunciative”: the decision to reject a destination does not imply ta penalty but is irrevocable, i.e. it involves the exclusion from any subsequent location reassignment included the ones left.
