Applicants will be advised on the definitive list of courses and their schedules two months before the semester starts.

Each course bears 6 ECTS within the European Exchange framework, which is the equivalent of 3 U.S. Credits. The International Curriculum courses are elective courses within the Facoltà di Scienze Linguistiche e Letterature Straniere.

The conversion from US or ECTS credits to your home institution's credit system is defined by your home institution. Please refer to your Study Abroad Advisor for detailed information.

The Cattolica International Curriculum has been created specifically for international students only and courses are formulated to have an international teaching approach.
The curriculum is managed by the Cattolica International department, and this means that it operates in a different way to the wider Cattolica Academic Curriculum.
