The Cultural Sociology Programme is a Master’s course offered consortium of universities: UniTrento and the University of Graz (Austria) participate in the double degree programme; Masaryk University (Brno, Repubblica Ceca, which does not award a qualification) and the University of Zadar (Croazia) participate as part of the Erasmus programme.
The mobility programme for this course is the following:
- the first 60 credits must be completed at the home or “entry university”
- at least 30 credits must be completed at the University of Graz ("degree awarding institution")
- the remaining 30 ECTS can be completed at any of the following:
- the home university;
- the university of Graz, including extending the mobility by one semester for the double degree;
- Masaryk University or at the University of Zadar (Croatia), no further qualification is awarded but a final certificate will be issued certifying the completed mobility and no double degree scholarship is available. In this case, the student selected must apply for a scholarship under the Erasmus+ programme.
After having completed 120 credits, the student will receive a qualification from UniTrento and, depending on host university, a qualification from one of the two degree awarding institutions as detailed in the mobility programme in the download section.
