Exploring Articulation Agreement Models
Exploring Articulation Agreement Models Articulation agreements are structured academic partnerships between universities, allowing students to complete part of their degree programme at one institution and the remainder at another, with full credit recognition between the two. At Cattolica, we welcome international students through articulation agreements in both our 3-year undergraduate degrees and our 2-year Master of Science (M.Sc.). The fourth year serves as the final year of their Bachelor’s degree (with credit recognition by their home university) and the first year of Cattolica’s M.Sc. At the end of the fifth year (second year of MSc degree at Cattolica), students graduate with both: A Bachelor’s degree from their home institution. At Cattolica, we recognize specific credits earned by students at their home institution during their BSc studies, which will be counted towards Cattolica's MSc programme. At the end of the four/ four and and half years , students earn a MSc degree from Cattolica. Time-Efficient Pathways: In many cases, students save up to one year! Streamlined Admissions : Partner universities’ students benefit from simplified processes and reserved places in Cattolica’s programmes.

Faculty of Linguistic Sciences and Foreign Literatures
Faculty of Linguistic Sciences and Foreign Literatures. In the classroom, in the presence of the professor/lecturer: this is how the Faculty's teaching activities will take place in the academic year beginning next autumn. Teaching activities in the Faculty of Linguistic Sciences and Foreign Literatures will begin on Monday 20 September. Languages are not learned once and for all: knowledge (what you know about a language) and skills (how you can use the knowledge you have acquired to write, read, listen, speak to an audience and interact in face-to-face oral communication) must be reviewed and tested every day. Neglecting language exercises means undermining the formation of a multilingual professionalism that characterises a Faculty graduate. From Monday 4 October, the "canonical" lessons of all courses begin, and the language exercises continue until the end of the first semester of the academic year in December. Have a good start to your university experience at our university! Giovanni Gobber, Dean of the Faculty of Linguistic Sciences and Foreign Literatures.
