To gain access to the second year of the double degree program, students must have obtained the credits required by the study plan for the first year (60 ECTS), by September 30 of the first year at the latest.

During the mobility phase, students are required to attend the courses provided in the study plan drawn up by the two universities, passing all exams for a total of 60 ECTS, including part of the mandatory internship.

Students participating in the program are not required to pay any fees or charges to the host university. Enrollment fees will be paid to the home university.

Students on mobility will enjoy the same rights and duties as the students of the host university. Prior to the mobility, students must sign a declaration committing to respect the regulations of the host university.

The methods for assessing academic performance are those established by the host University as indicated in its academic regulations.

The composition of the examination board will be determined by the University where the student presents the final exam, possibly deviating from the relevant thesis regulations with regard to the number of members.

The representatives of the agreement may be included in the board; in any case, at least one professor from the partner University must be a member. Participation in the board may also take place online.
