Framework agreement for international academic cooperation between the Università per Stranieri di Perugia and Mittweida University of Applied Sciences aimed at awarding a double bachelor’s degree between the degree in "Social Sciences for Sustainability and International Cooperation" (SOCI) at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia and the degree in "Global Communication in Business and Culture" at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences
- A three-party individual learning agreement, compliant with ERASMUS standards, is mandatory and will serve as the basis for enrolment in the programme/degree
- Proof of English language proficiency at a minimum level of B2/CEFR is required
The maximum number of students admitted to the double degree programme per year is 5 per university.
The mobility period lasts for two semesters and may be combined with an Erasmus+ mobility period (by submitting an application according to the deadlines set each year by the Erasmus call).
During the mobility period, students are required to attend the courses included in the study plan jointly developed by both universities and to pass all the required exams, for a total of 60 ECTS, including, if applicable, the mandatory internship and thesis defense.
Students participating in the double degree program
- will be enrolled at both institutions during the academic year and will pay tuition fees only to their home university
- will be regarded by both parties as fully recognized students, with the same benefits, rights, and responsibilities as regular students. Specifically, they are entitled to attend courses, tutorials, laboratory internships, seminars, and conferences

- must comply with the internal regulations of the host institution and all legal requirements of the host country
- must comply with the laws in force in the host country, particularly regarding health insurance and social security
Both universities will handle all administrative enrollment formalities and the management of student records from the partner university through their respective student offices and designated faculty advisors for the double degree program.
Students are required to attend classes regularly and to take the relevant exams in accordance with the regulations of the host university.
During their period of study abroad, students must comply with the academic rules and examination procedures in force at the host institution.
Courses will be taught in English.
Students of the University for Foreigners of Perugia or the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, at the end of the third year, will write their thesis/thesis project either at their home institution or at the host institution, as specified in their Learning Agreement.
Students are in any case required to submit a formal thesis application to the Student Office of the University for Foreigners of Perugia, pay the relevant fee, and send a copy of the final thesis before the thesis defense, even if the defense takes place at the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences.
