1. Previous studies in English: Your previous university studies were entirely taught and examined in English.
    
2. Accredited institution: Your studies were at a degree-granting higher education institution accredited by relevant local authorities in the country where it operates.
    
3. Good academic standing: You have satisfactory academic performance without significant difficulties.
    
4. English language requirement: You meet the English proficiency requirements (see "Entry Requirements").
    
5. Evaluation of passed exams: Only successfully passed exams listed on your official transcript at the time of application will be considered for credit transfer. Courses in progress will not be considered. The academic board evaluates a transfer request only ONCE.

NOTE: the evaluation of credit transfers from foreign academic programs may result in the recognition of a significantly lower number of credits than expected, due to differences in curriculum structure, credit system and academic requirements. 

1. Apply Online

As a transfer candidate, you must follow the same online application procedure (including required documents), timeline and selection process as new degree applicants. Here are the key application sections you should focus on:

• Credit transfer request: In the "College Information" section, select the option indicating you wish to transfer credits to Università Cattolica (“Do you wish to transfer credits to Università Cattolica?”). Failure to do so means your credit transfer request will not be processed.
• College Transcript: Upload an official transcript that clearly shows:
  • Issuing university's name
  • Grades, credits, and passing dates of each exam
  • Transcript issuing date
  • Your full name and student number
  • Explanation of the grading and credit systems used
  • The language of instruction
• Detailed Course Syllabi: Email detailed syllabi of each successfully passed course (as listed on your transcript) to international.admissions@unicatt.it. Name each file with the exact course name/code.
• Application Fee: Pay the €75 application fee required for all transfer requests.

2. Selection and evaluation of academic background

Your application will be assessed as indicated in the programme-specific entry requirements. 
If you are selected for phase two and pass the interview, the Academic Board will evaluate if a credit transfer request can be considered. Alternatively, you may receive an offer for admission without credit transfer.
