The schematic study plan is applicable to students originated from UNIMI and UC3M indifferently. For each student, a detailed study plan must be defined by the academic coordinators, avoiding redundant courses. The annual modifications implemented in the curriculum will be notified in the students’ learning agreement. |
Selection of students to double degree programme:
1) students must meet admission criteria of the Master’s programme of both institutions
2) students are selected to double degree option based on their academic results, prerequisite requirements, motivation and language skills
