Framework agreement for international academic cooperation between Université de Lorraine Nancy and the Università per Stranieri di Perugia aimed at awarding a double Bachelor’s degree between the degree in "Italian Language and Culture in the Digital World" (LiCIMoD) from the Università per Stranieri di Perugia and the "Langues, Littératures, Civilisations Etrangères et Régionales" (LLCER), Italian Track, Teaching Professions Option from Université de Lorraine, as well as a double Master’s degree between the Master’s in "Italian for Teaching to Foreigners" (ItAS) from the Università per Stranieri di Perugia and the “Master en Langues et sociétés”, 2nd degree, Italian track from Université de Lorraine.
Students of the University for Foreigners of Perugia who wish to apply for the double degree programme and meet the admission requirements must submit their application to the University Academic Advisor for this double degree (application form, curriculum vitae, and a motivation letter in both Italian and French) by mid-November:
- for the bachelor’s degree: after enrolling in the second year of the programme
- for the master’s degree: after completing enrolment
- be duly enrolled
- in the second year of the Bachelor's degree programme in Italian Language and Culture in the Digital World (LiCIMoD) at the time of application for admission to the double degree programme
- in the third year of the Bachelor's degree programme in "Italian Language and Culture in the Digital World" (LiCIMoD) and have obtained at least 120 ECTS credits at the time of departure for the double degree mobility
- in the second year of the Master's degree programme in "Italian for Teaching to Foreigners" (ItAS) and have obtained at least 60 ECTS credits at the time of departure for the double degree mobility
- hold certified proficiency in the French language
- for the Bachelor's double degree: minimum level B2 (DUEF, DELF, DALF, or assessment test by the partner university)
- for the Master's degree: minimum level C1 (DUEF, DELF, DALF, or assessment test by the partner university)
The number of students admitted to the double degree program is determined annually and includes a maximum of ten students per university.
The mobility period corresponds to the entire third academic year of the undergraduate program and the entire second academic year of the master’s program; in both cases, it cannot be divided into separate periods. The mobility experience may also be combined with an Erasmus+ period, by submitting an application according to the annual Erasmus call deadlines.
During the mobility period, students are required to attend the courses specified in the study plan developed by both universities and to complete all the required exams, totaling 60 ECTS credits, including the mandatory internship.
For the undergraduate double degree program, the internship will be completed entirely during the mobility year. For the master’s double degree program, the internship will be split: half completed in the first year at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia and half in the second year at the Université de Lorraine Nancy.
Students participating in the double degree programme
- will be enrolled in both institutions during the current academic year and will pay tuition fees only at their home university
- will be regarded by both parties as full students, with the same benefits, rights, and responsibilities as regular students. In particular, they are entitled to attend courses, tutorials, laboratory internships, seminars, and conferences
- will therefore hold student status at both institutions
- will comply with the internal regulations of the host institution and all legal requirements of the host country
- will be required to observe the legislation in force in the host country, particularly regarding health insurance and social security
Both universities will handle all administrative registration procedures and the management of student records from the partner university through their respective student offices and the academic coordinators for the double degree programme.
Students are required to attend classes regularly and take the corresponding exams according to the guidelines established by the host university’s regulations.
During the study period abroad, students must comply with the academic and examination rules in force at the host institution regarding course organization, assessment, and exam procedures.
Courses will be delivered in French.
Students of the Università per Stranieri di Perugia take a final examination at L’Université de Lorraine at the end of their mobility period (third year for the Bachelor’s programme and second year for the Master’s programme), in accordance with the regulations of L’Université de Lorraine for the awarding of the double degree.
Students may write their Bachelor’s final examination and Master’s thesis in either Italian or French, as agreed with their supervisor. In any case, students must also provide a comprehensive summary of their work in the other language.
By exception to the thesis regulations of Università per Stranieri di Perugia, the final examination at Université de Lorraine is also considered as the thesis defence for Università per Stranieri di Perugia, provided that a member of the Università per Stranieri di Perugia academic staff participates in the examination board, either in person or remotely.
Students must still submit a formal thesis application by email to the Student Office of Università per Stranieri di Perugia, pay the required fee, and send a copy of their final thesis before the defence at Université de Lorraine Nancy.
