Selected students are required to pay tuition fees to Ca' Foscari for the entire duration of the programme and will benefit from total exemption from the payment of tuition fees at the partner University.

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.
The thesis work will be written according to the procedures established at the Home University. Writing, submission and defense methods (number of pages, formatting guidelines, and language of discussion) will be jointly defined in agreement with the academic coordinators of both Universities.
In any case, the defense will take place in front of a joint Committee. Students are invited to contact the academic coordinator of the agreement at Ca’ Foscari, Prof. Caterina Tarlazzi, well in advance to clarify all necessary aspects.
Students will graduate in Venice during the Summer or Fall graduation session of the second year, following the procedures and meeting the deadlines indicated on the relevant webpage: Thesis and final degree exam | Deadlines, admission and procedures.
If they are unable to complete the programme by the Fall graduation session, students must promptly inform the Welcome Unit, which will notify the partner University. In this case, administrative re-enrollment at Bordeaux for the third year will be required.
Once the Italian degree has been awarded, students must inform the Welcome Unit, which will send the necessary documentation to the partner University to initiate the process of issuing the host institution’sdiploma.
Both diplomas will be legally recognized in their respective countries of issuance.
A bonus point will be added to the final exam grade for students who participated in a double or joint degree programme. More information is available at the following webpage: Characteristics and assessment of final exam.
