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 credits to the student.
Semester abroad
The semester abroad programmes are open to all students of Università Cattolica and allow you to spend one semester of your academic career abroad, at a partner university. Exams taken abroad may be recognised as part of the UC study plan. Students are selected on the basis of academic merit and language skills.
Summer Programs and Language Courses
With the Summer Programs it is possible to spend a period of 2 to 8 weeks abroad during the summer, at one of our top ranking partner universities globally, and to select exams to be taken for which it will be possible to request the recognition of credits on return.
With the program of language courses abroad, it is possible to start throughout the academic year and improve one or more foreign languages.
Internships and dissertations abroad
An internship experience abroad during your university career is certainly an important advantage for entering the world of work. UC offers its students and recent graduates different types of courses based on the Faculty to which they belong.
For the writing of the thesis, a period of study abroad allows you to carry out international research with scholarships available to support the period abroad.

Virtual Programs
In order to ensure the possibility of carrying out international programmes safely, a number ofprogrammes that can be attended remotely are organised based on the international context of the destination countries.
