MEIS students have numerous opportunities to spend a study/research period abroad, through the Double Degree programme and various international exchange and Erasmus programmes.
Double degree
The double degree is an integrated study programme established by two or more universities, that allows students to attend part of their university career at the University of Trento and part at a partner university, thus obtaining both the Italian and the foreign qualifications at the same time. The programme pursues three main aims: diversification of the education; quality learning of a foreign language; deeper understanding of a different nation and culture.
