International Student Perspectives
Regular student He is fully enrolled in the
2years Master of Science Programme and he will
receive the MSc Degree from the University of
Padova. Fellowships are available, following a
selection procedure. Erasmus exchange student He
is regularly enrolled in an EU University. He
spends one Semester (or More) at the University
of Padova. The exams are recognized from the home
University. He will receive MSc Degree only from
his home University. Fellowships are provided by
EU. Bilateral exchange student He is enrolled in
a non EU University having with UNIPD a bilateral
agreement for students exchange. Similar to the
Erasmus exchange programme. No fellowship is so
far available from the Italian side. Double
Degree student He is enrolled in a University
having a Double Degree Agreement with UNIPD . In
general he spends 60 credits (ECTS) in the host
University and 60 in the home University. He
receives MSc Degree from both the Universities
