Double degree

Academic Coordinator: Prof. Christian DURANTE (email: christian.durante@unipd.it)

Administrative Secretariat: Segreteria didattica e post lauream (email: didattica.chimica@unipd.it)

The Chemistry Curriculum stems from an agreement between the University of Giessen (Germany) and our University, whose aim is to award a double degree of "Master in Chemistry" from both Universities. Students enrolled in this curriculum will spend the first semester of the second year at the partner University. They will be granted the double degree if, in this period, they will acquire 30 ECTS. After the first semester the student can prolong his/her stay for another semester and spend the thesis internship in one of the research laboratories of the partner University. Full details on the agreements terms and the rules to be eligible for the double degree can be found in the AGREEMENT and ANNEX, both downloadable from this page.
