Double Degrees
The double degree programmes enable students to gain two study titles: one from their home university and one from a foreign partner university. After agreeing on a convention, the Università degli Studi di Palermo and the foreign partner University put together a common study programme: students will carry out half of this programme in a foreign partner university. At the end of the programme, students will receive Double Degree study titles from both universities and a single certificate signed by both institutions (joint degree).
The mobility must last a minimum of 6 months for a minimum of 30 CFU for Master’s Degrees and 60 CFU for Bachelor’s 1 cycle degrees.
