In autumn 2015, the Università degli Studi di Palermo and the Université Gustave Eiffel, formerly Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, signed an integrated study program aimed at issuing a double degree, based on general principles of reciprocity and recognition of the respective training paths. This agreement allows students to carry out a part of their university career at the University of Palermo and a part at the Université Gustave Eiffel, obtaining at the end of the course the release of the Laurea Magistrale in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from the Università degli Studi di Palermo and the Master d'Informatique from the Université Gustave Eiffel.

This agreement, renewed in 2020 and updated in 2022, is accompanied by a table of correspondence, periodically monitored by the faculty of the two partner universities, of the main disciplines activated in the curricular offer of the two courses of study. The agreement and the table, that refers to the curriculum of both courses of study and enables the validation of ECTS/CFU credits earned, can be downloaded from link.

Starting from the academic year 2022/23, the master's degree classes at UNIPA are entirely offered in English. Furthermore, some of the classes provided at UGE are also taught in English, as are the teaching materials available to students.

This integrated study program was one of the three selected in Italy by the Università franco-italiana in the context of the 2016 Vinci Award, with a loan of 30,000 euros for three years, and in the context of the 2019 Vinci Award, with a loan of 22,500 euros for three years. This funding contributes to the mobility, in both directions, of the students participating in this program.
