Programme and study plan

Selected students will spend one academic semester at the partner University in the 2nd semester of their 2nd year.

During their mobility, students are required to achieve at least 30 ECTS credits taking exams, to be agreed upon with the programme coordinators at both Universities. These will be recognised at Ca’ Foscari with exams included in their study plan or as extra credits.

During the mobility, students cannot carry out thesis research only, nor obtain the required credits by graduating at the partner University.

For more information about the study plan, students can contact the Department’s Educational Programmes office: didattica.dslcc@unive.it.


Tuition fees and mobility grant

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.

For the mobility period, students will benefit from a mobility grant with a variable amount, as defined annually in the Calls for Applications.


Mobility procedures

Before departing for the mobility, selected students will be required to:

  • complete the registration/application procedure at the receiving institution according to the methods and within the deadlines set by the Partner University;
  • sign the grant agreement that regulates the disbursement of the mobility grant;
  • fill out the Learning Agreement, listing all the educational activities to be carried out at the Partner University and identifying the equivalences with the courses included in the Ca' Foscari study plan, which must be approved by the academic coordinators of the programme at Ca' Foscari and at the Host 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.


Graduation

Students will graduate at Ca’ Foscari, following the procedure and deadlines indicated in the dedicated webpage: Thesis and final degree exam | Deadlines, admission and procedures.

After achieving the Italian diploma, students should inform the Welcome Unit, which will send all necessary documentation to the partner Institution to initiate the process for the issuance of the Spanish diploma.

Both diplomas will be legally recognised in the issuing countries.

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.
