Enrolling onto more degree programmes

The Ministerial Decree No. 930 of 29 July 2022 implemented the Law no. 33 of 12 April 2022, which introduced provisions on simultaneous enrolment in two higher education programmes.

Students may enrol at the same time in:

  • two different Bachelor's or Master's degree programmes, provided that such programmes belong to different Bachelor's or Master's degree classes, and differ in at least two-thirds of their educational activities;
  • a Bachelor's or Master's degree programme and a University master's, PhD or Specialisation programme, with the exception of medical specialisation programmes;
  • a PhD or Master's degree programme and a medical specialisation programme;
  • a PhD or Master's degree programme and a non-medical specialisation programme;
  • in a Bachelor’s degree programme and a Master's degree programme;
  • in two university Master's degree programmes as long as they are not the same programme;
  • in any university degree programme and an AFAM course;
  • in any university-level degree programme and inter-university or joint degree programme;
  • in any university-level degree programme and a single-cycle degree programme.

Enrolling at the same time is not possible in:

  • in a PhD programme and a university master's degree;
  • in any university-level degree programme and double degree programme.

Additional requirements to allow simultaneous enrolment are:

  • being regularly enrolled for both programmes of study;
  • in the case of enrolment in two programmes with local restricted access, being placed in a useful position in the rankings for both programmes;
  • in the case of enrolment in a programme with compulsory attendance, being enrolled in another programme with free attendance or with compulsory attendance only of workshop and traineeship activities.

For enrolment in a programme of:

  • Bachelor’s degree: until 30th October 2025;
  • Master's degree: until 18th December 2025.

For Master's and PhD programmes, the provisions set out in the specific calls for applications apply.

Admission and enrolment procedures for Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes can be found under Enrolment > Admission of individual degree programmes, available at www.unive.it/offertaformativa.

Students enrolled at another university

 

If you are currently enrolled in a degree programme at another university and intend to enrol at Ca’ Foscari under the policy that permits simultaneous enrolment in two higher education programmes, you must complete the additional declaration (dichiarazione aggiuntiva) available in the online enrolment process.

In the event that the admission qualification for the second enrolment programme was obtained abroad, it will be necessary to carry out a prior assessment of the qualification via the apply.unive.it procedure.

Students enrolled at another University must renew their intention to be simultaneously enrolled each year and undertake to notify any changes in their career at the University of first enrolment, such as changing programme or obtaining a degree.

To apply for part-time student status, you must complete the dedicated online form available on the Part-Time Student webpage.

Students enrolled at Ca' Foscari and interested in enrolling in another programme at Ca' Foscari

 

If you are currently enrolled in a degree programme at Ca’ Foscari and wish to enrol in a second degree programme offered by Ca’ Foscari under the policy that allows simultaneous enrolment in two higher education programmes, you must submit a request to the Enrolment Office stating:

• That you want to enrol in a second degree programme at Ca’ Foscari;

• The degree programme (Bachelor’s or Master’s) you wish to apply for.

The Enrolment Office will then contact you with instructions on how to proceed with your application.

In the event that the admission qualification for the second enrolment programme was obtained abroad, it will be necessary to carry out a prior assessment of the qualification via the apply.unive.it procedure.

You will be required to complete the additional declaration (dichiarazione aggiuntiva) in your personal area to confirm your intention to be simultaneously enrolled in two programmes and to declare that you meet the necessary requirements.

This additional declaration must be submitted between July 1 and December 18, 2025, unless otherwise mandated by the other university.

A student who does not self-certify their dual enrolment by this deadline will be enrolled simultaneously but will not have access to status-related benefits.

Students who are already enrolled at Ca' Foscari and intend to enrol in another university must renew their intention to be enrolled simultaneously each year and undertake to notify any changes in their career at the University of second enrolment, such as changing programme and obtaining a degree.

The contribution set for the academic year must be paid for each of the degree programmes, even if they both belong to Ca' Foscari.

The student may benefit from any exemption/reduction of university fees, according to the provisions of the "Student Act" in case of ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) of less than €30,000 (referred to in Law No. 232 of 11 December 2016, which was followed by Ministerial Decree. 1014/2021) for both degree programmes or any other benefits that each individual University may provide for (e.g., reduction of the amount for students with ISEE of over €30,000 or incentives linked to merit status).

The regional tax for the right to study, pending clarification by the Ministry, must be paid for both degree programmes, except for those that belong to the same university or to universities in Veneto.

For information on the actual contribution due and payment methods and deadlines, please refer to the administrative provisions adopted for the academic year 2025/2026

The Study grant for the right to study or collaborative or tutoring activities may only be requested for one of the degree programmes in which the student is enrolled, namely:

  • if the student enrols for the first time in both degree programmes, he/she may choose which programme to apply for; this choice must be maintained throughout the period of simultaneous enrolment in the two-degree programmes;
  • if the student is already enrolled in a programme for a previous academic year (regardless of whether the university is Italian or foreign) and enrols for the 2025/2026 academic year in another programme, maintaining both enrolments, he/she will only be able to benefit from the benefits in the first career in which he/she enrolled. Therefore, he/she cannot apply for them in the second programme even if the student has never applied for/received benefits at the university of first enrolment.

The regulations in force have provided for students enrolled simultaneously in more than one programme the possibility of obtaining an increase of 20% of the amount of the Grant for the right to study normally attributable to the all students, as stated in the call for proposal.

The regulations do not clarify whether recognised exams (taken after enrolment) contribute to determining merit for access to financial aid. The university is waiting for clarification from the Ministry on this issue.

To access the financial benefits, you must fill out the online “application for benefits” at this link, declaring your dual enrolment.

If a student enrols in two degree programmes and chooses Ca' Foscari University as the reference point for accessing the benefits provided for by current legislation on the right to study, the online application must be completed no later than 30th September 2025.

In order to benefit from the reduction on the contribution payment, however, it will be possible to complete the application by 30 September 2025, without paying any late payment fees.

Dual-degree programme students are guaranteed access to the status of part-time student and the automatic use of study support services.

Requests for credit recognition are attached as part of the enrolment procedure if they relate to exams taken prior to enrolment at Ca' Foscari University.

The contribution of €300.00, normally set forth for credit recognition practices, will not be required.

Requests for the recognition of credits acquired during the dual enrolment regime must be submitted through the opening of a report during the following periods:

  • 3rd November - 17th November 2025;
  • 23th March - 6th April 2026;
  • 1st - 17th July 2026.

Please note that you can sign up for exams at only one of the two universities and then request credit recognition in the other degree programme. Also, be aware that there are limits to the equivalent activities you can take at both universities and have recognised; refer to your programme’s regulations for details. 

Students intending to graduate may submit a credit recognition request during the periods currently designated for submitting study plans in person (i.e. presenting paper documentation, not online).

Within each window the student may submit only one request for all the exams taken so far.

Exams will be recorded on your academic transcript with the grade and the date of actual completion. These exams will contribute to both your final degree grade and, if applicable, the merit-related calculations for access to student financial aid, provided that the requirements for simultaneous enrolment remain valid.

Notice: The University has regulated the process of simultaneous enrolment in two-degree programmes according to the provisions of current regulations. 

However, some aspects concerning the established possibility of simultaneous enrolment and career of students required clarification from the Ministry.

For this reason, in some cases the University allows enrolment in degree programmes, but with reservations - to be lifted once the Ministry has provided the necessary clarifications. For the same reason, some aspects - however highlighted on the following webpage - may require adjustments.

In the case of enrolment in other university programmes for which simultaneous enrolment is not permitted, the possibility of taking advantage of the suspension of studies remains valid.

Suspension of studies will also be allowed for students who wish to enrol in another university without taking advantage of simultaneous enrolment. 

In both cases, during the period of suspension, the student may not carry out any career actions and any credits accrued while attending the programme for which the suspension was requested will not be recognised.

For further information, please find the contact details of the relevant offices for each step.
