The Double Degree is a study program involving two or more universities that allows students to attend part of their studies abroad, from 1 to 4 semesters, and obtain two or more qualification recognized in different countries.
The Double Title, reserved for students attending the Faculty of Law, allows students to obtain an LLM/LLB degree from the partner university under favorable conditions. Students obtain the foreign degree from the partner university and complete the Italian degree by earning the remaining credits upon their return to UniTrento.
