International Courses

The University of Sassari offers its students the opportunity to attend international study programs, some of which lead to a double degree (Double Degree), while others are entirely taught in a foreign language.

Double Degree Programs:

These are study programs that involve a specific international path. The double degree program is regulated by agreements concerning the type of degree awarded, admission requirements for the study program, the period of mobility at the foreign university, and the study plan (including the courses that the student must take at the partner university). At the end of the program, the participating institutions award the respective national degrees to the students involved in the program.

Programs Entirely Taught in a Foreign Language:

These are study programs that use a language other than Italian for teaching and examinations. This type of program is entirely managed by the University with its own regulations and awards a national degree.
