Venetian university exchange
Thanks to an agreement between Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Università IUAV di Venezia, the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, and the Music Conservatory Benedetto Marcello (the four higher education institutions of the Study in Venice project), students of these Venetian institutions can enrich their course of study by studying at a different university in the city of Venice.
The "Venetian Erasmus" programme allows students to take courses and exams at one of the partner institutions, and to have these exams recognised as part of their degree programme, at no extra cost.
Ca' Foscari Students
Ca’ Foscari students can find the information they need on our partner’s websites: Iuav, the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, and the Music Conservatory Benedetto Marcello [ITA].
Before enrolling in courses offered by the chosen institution, you must request authorization from the Teaching Committee. Fill out the form on this page and submit it, along with the syllabi for the selected courses, to your campus.
The campus will then notify you of the Teaching Committee's authorization.
Once you have passed the exams, your study plan will be automatically updated.
Please note that you may only choose courses at the same level as your enrolment. Therefore, if you are enrolled in a bachelor's degree program, you can only choose bachelor's-level courses, while if you are enrolled in a master's degree program, you can only choose master's-level courses.
Iuav, Venice Academy and Conservatory Students
If you are enrolled at Iuav, the Venice Academy of Fine Arts or the Music Conservatory Benedetto Marcello, you can take courses and exams at Ca’ Foscari. We suggest you contact the relevant office of your institution before you select the courses and exams you would like to take, in order to ensure that such courses can be included in your degree programme.
Please note that you can only choose courses that match the level of the programme you are enrolled in. Thus, if you are enrolled in a Bachelor’s Degree Programme, you can only select Ca’ Foscari courses at that level; similarly, if you are enrolled in a Master’s Degree programme, you must select Ca’ Foscari courses at that level.
Course offer
In academic year 2025/2026, each eligible course can accept a maximum of 5 "Venetian Erasmus" students.
Some courses may require that you take multiple modules. In order to gain university credits for a course, you must pass the exams of all the modules that course is articulated in. The number of modules each course is articulated is in the course description (e.g. 6 / 12 CFU).
A list of all Ca’ Foscari courses and programmes is available at the Course search page. Please check the course programme, especially its prerequisites, and ensure that you obtain the required knowledge before you start the course, in order to take full advantage of this experience.
You can sign up to any of the courses at Ca’ Foscari for the academic year you are enrolled in, for a maximum of 18 CFU as part of the venetian university exchange project, except for the courses listed below.
You can also use the Course search page to find the courses that are conducted in English, or that will allow you to take the final exam/s in English.
