Studying abroad

The University of Parma offers all its students various opportunities to foster the development of a real international dimension of university study.

Research activities abroad and drafting of the final paper

Students may carry out research and drafting activities abroad for the final examination for their degree course. To this end, before submitting the Teaching Agreement for approval by the Referee, students must obtain the assignment of the thesis from a Supervisor and the latter's consent to carry out the relevant activities during their stay abroad. This activity, if attested by a certificate issued by the host university, when provided for in the relevant study programme abroad, or by a certificate issued by the Referee acting as guarantor, may be recognised, subject to the favourable opinion of the Supervisor, within the limits of the ECTS credits laid down for the final examination and in accordance with the provisions specific to each course of study.
In any case, in order to pass the final examination, students must take the degree examination in the form provided for the course they belong to and the examination will be subject to the assessment of the relevant Degree Examination Committee in accordance with the rules of each course.
For the purposes of assessing the final examination for the degree course to which it belongs, the Degree Examination Committee takes into account the conduct of research and writing abroad.
