Programme and study plan
Students will spend one academic year at EM Strasbourg Business School, during their second year of enrollment.
After the student has been selected, they will have to contact the Treviso Campus (treviso@unive.it) to agree in advance on the study plan to be carried out abroad, based on the equivalence between the courses at EM Strasbourg Business School and those at Ca’ Foscari, and to define any necessary changes to their study plan at Ca’ Foscari University.
To successfully complete the programme, students must:
- achieve at least 60 ECTS
- attend an internship
- successfully pass the final oral exam (Grand Oral).
Tuition fees and mobility grant
Selected students are required to pay tuition fees to Ca' Foscari for the entire duration of the programme and will benefit from total exemption from the payment of tuition fees at the partner University.
For the period of mobility abroad, selected students will benefit from a mobility grant, as provided for in the Call for applications.
Mobility procedures
Before departing for the mobility, selected students will be required to:
- complete the registration/application procedure at the receiving institution according to the methods and within the deadlines set by the Partner University;
- sign the grant agreement that regulates the disbursement of the mobility grant;
- fill out the Learning Agreement, listing all the educational activities to be carried out at the Partner University and identifying the equivalences with the courses included in the Ca' Foscari study plan, which must be approved by the academic coordinators of the programme at Ca' Foscari and at the Host University.
Further information will be provided by the Welcome Unit (International Office) upon completion of the selection process and after formal acceptance of the offer.
After reaching the destination, students will have to get the confirmation of arrival form signed by the Partner University, to certify the actual start date of the mobility period (orientation/welcome activities or educational activities).
If the students intend to make changes to the study plan agreed upon before departure, it is possible to complete a Learning Agreement variation form, which must be approved by the academic coordinators of the programme at Ca' Foscari and at the Host University.
Before returning from the mobility, students will have to get the confirmation of departure form signed by the Partner University, to certify the actual end date of the mobility period.
As soon as available, students must send to the Welcome Unit (International Office) the Transcript of records issued by the Host University, i.e. the certificate listing all the exams they passed during the mobility abroad.
The exams reported in the Transcript of records must correspond to those agreed upon in the Learning Agreement and any subsequent variation forms.
Graduation
Students will conclude their academic career at the partner University, following the procedures indicated by the partner University.
Once the credits required to complete the academic career at Ca’ Foscari have been obtained, the partner University will send the necessary documentation to the International Office to initiate the recognition procedure for the activities carried out during the mobility period.
Once recognition has been completed, the academic career at Ca’ Foscari will be closed by the back office, without the need to submit a graduation request. No thesis defense or diploma awarding ceremony is foreseen at Ca’ Foscarii.
To obtain the degree from Strasbourg, students must have completed an internship in accordance with the requirements set by the partner university and are required to participate in the Grand Oral, which is usually held in September.
Both diplomas will be legally recognized in the countries where they are issued.
A bonus point will be added to the final exam grade for students who participated in a double or joint degree programme. More information is available at the following webpage: Characteristics and assessment of final exam.
