Upon their arrival at CNU, students will take an assessment test to determine their linguistic proficiency. Students may be required to take an additional Chinese language course according to the assessment test result.
The programme envisages the payment of tuition fees at Ca' Foscari for the entire duration of the programme, including the year of mobility.
Participants in the programme are offered financial support by the Beijing Municipal Authority (Beijing Municipal Foreign Students Scholarship) in the form of exemption from paying fees at the host University. Students are however not exempt from the administrative fee due for the application and registration in the Partner University, to be paid upon arrival.
If a student breaks the laws of the People's Republic of China or the regulations of the host University, CNU International Students Office reserves the right not to grant the support and the student will have to pay tuition fees at CNU for the entire mobility period.
Should the Beijing Municipal Authority, for reasons non-depending on the University, stop issuing the support, students undertake to pay the enrolment fees at both Universities.
Should the student fail to pass one or more profit exams, CNU may charge an extra fee.
For the mobility period, students will benefit from a mobility grant with a variable amount, as defined annually in the Calls for applications.
Before departing for the mobility, selected students will be required to:
Further information will be provided by the Welcome Unit (International Office) upon completion of the selection process and after formal acceptance of the offer.
After reaching the destination, students will have to get the confirmation of arrival form signed by the Partner University, to certify the actual start date of the mobility period (orientation/welcome activities or educational activities).
If the students intend to make changes to the study plan agreed upon before departure, it is possible to complete a Learning Agreement variation form, which must be approved by the academic coordinators of the programme at Ca' Foscari and at the Host University.
Before returning from the mobility, students will have to get the confirmation of departure form signed by the Partner University, to certify the actual end date of the mobility period.
As soon as available, students must send to the Welcome Unit (International Office) the Transcript of records issued by the Host University, i.e. the certificate listing all the exams they passed during the mobility abroad.
The exams reported in the Transcript of records must correspond to those agreed upon in the Learning Agreement and any subsequent variation forms.
At the end of the programme, students will graduate at Ca’ Foscari, following the procedures and deadlines indicated on the relevant webpage: Thesis and final degree exam | Deadlines, admission and procedures.
Additionally, an online thesis defense with the CNU Committee is required for the issuance of the Chinese degree. The thesis must be written and defended in Chinese.
