The professors in charge carry out orientation activities in the choice of university abroad and evaluate the Study Programme, 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 Study Programme 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 website.
Finally, the Faculty Council approves these conversions and assigns the corresponding ECTS to the student.
Semester abroad
Semester Abroad programmes are open to all students at Università Cattolica and allow students to spend a semester of their academic career abroad at a partner university. Exams taken abroad can be recognised within the UC study plan. Students are selected on the basis of their academic merit and language skills.

With the Summer Programmes you can spend a period of 2 to 8 weeks abroad during the summer at one of our globally ranked partner universities and select exams for which you can apply for recognition of Università Cattolica on your return.
With the Language Courses Abroad Programme, you can travel throughout the academic year and improve one or more foreign languages.
Internship and dissertation abroad
An internship abroad during your university career is certainly an important advantage for entry into the job market. Università Cattolica offers its students and recent graduates different types of courses depending on the Faculty/School they belong to.
