The new Double Degree Program between Ca' Foscari University and Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (Florianópolis, Brasil) is active starting from the a.y. 2023/2024.
The Double Degree offers students from the two universities the opportunity to follow an international course of study, attending part of their study path at the university of enrolment and part (one semester, equivalent to 30 ECTS) at the host university. The two degrees will be acquired simultaneously.
Participating students will write a thesis under co-supervision of Professors of both Universities; the dissertation may take place at any of the two partner universities. At the end of the course of study, students will thus obtain a double degree:
As far as Ca' Foscari is concerned, the programme is reserved for students who have successfully completed the examinations for the first year of the Master’s Degree Programme in European, American and Postcolonial Languages and Literatures (LLEAP).

To be able to participate in the selection process, it is necessary to apply following the procedures and deadlines reported in the call for applications, published annually.
