Students enrolled at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia participating in the double degree program obtain:
- in the first year, 30 credits at the University of Nantes by attending the first semester of the ‘Master 1 Médiation Culturelle et Communication Internationale - Italian track’, and 30 credits during the second semester at their home university (if they wish to obtain the intermediate Master 1 degree from the University of Nantes, they will defend a thesis at the University of Nantes at the end of the first year)
- in the second year, students earn 30 credits at their home university and 30 credits at the University of Nantes.
The CIMEPIC double degree requires the acquisition of a total of 120 ECTS credits.
Students must hold a bachelor’s degree or a three-year university diploma, or another qualification obtained abroad and recognized as suitable, and must have a good command of the French language, at least at C1 level according to the CEFR.
In order to access the second year of mobility abroad, students must have acquired the 60 ECTS credits required for the first year by 30 September of the first academic year.
Students who have not managed to obtain the full 60 credits by the June session of the first academic year are exceptionally allowed to take the July and September exam sessions for the 30 credits related to the second semester of the first year (the 30 credits of the first semester in Nantes must, however, be completed on schedule). Students who do not acquire the required 60 credits by 30 September of the first year will not be allowed to progress to the second year.
Students enrolled in CIMEPIC who intend to obtain the Master 1 degree at the University of Nantes at the end of the first year must comply with the deadlines and regulations established by the French university, which require the acquisition of 60 credits (including the thesis, which must be discussed between June and 30 September of the first year).
The assessment methods are those established by the two partner universities within their respective degree programmes.
Students are required to carry out their mobility at the University of Nantes during the first semester of the first year and to take part of their written examinations in French.
The degree thesis may be written in either Italian or French, as agreed with the supervisor. Students are, however, required to provide a detailed summary of their work in the other language.
To compensate for some structural differences in the study programme organization:
- The thesis examination (worth a total of 15 ECTS) is held at the end of the second year.
- Students wishing to obtain the Master 1 degree in France will defend a thesis for 6 credits in the first year (in Italian or French, with a committee from the University of Nantes), and in the second year, a more extensive thesis for 9 credits in either Italian or French.
- In the second semester of the second year, students who have not obtained the Master 1 degree, who undertake mobility in France and are engaged in an internship, will be awarded 15 credits.
- Students who have obtained the intermediate Master 1 degree at Nantes during the first year and have already defended their first-year thesis (6 credits), will undertake mobility at Nantes in the second semester with an internship worth 21 credits.
