The master’s (licentiate) degrees obtained at Sophia are conferred in accordance with the pontifical educational system and recognized internationally by the provisions of the Bologna process.
The Sophia University Institute has signed joint degree partnership agreements with other universities, which allow for students to carry out part of their studies at a partner institution and thus obtain academic qualification from both their home university and the partner university at the end of their course. For this reason, students who take part in these programmes spend study periods (whose content and duration are defined in advance) at both universities.
Students wishing to participate in one of the joint degree programmes must undergo a selection process. The number of positions available is defined by each inter-university agreement. Applications open once a year and are published on this page.
