The professors in charge carry out orientation activities in the choice of university abroad and evaluate the Program Plan, containing the exams that the student will take abroad and which will subsequently be recognized for the purpose of graduation at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
All exams to be taken abroad must be agreed with the referring professors before departure and in any case it is not possible to request the inclusion in the study plan, instead of optional exams, of exams taken abroad and not agreed in advance with the referring professors.
The UCSC International office takes care of agreements with universities abroad and assists students in organising their study period abroad.
Upon returning to Italy, the student must submit documents attesting to the exams taken abroad via the Program Plan platform.
The professors, appointed by the Faculty for the recognition of foreign exams, will convert the evaluation obtained in the exams abroad into thirtieths, on the basis of the official conversion tables published on the Faculty's website. Finally, the Faculty Council approves these conversions and assigns the corresponding ECTS to the student.
