double degree program

Students can apply for the Double Degree programme via the Mobility app. The DD programme falls under the Erasmus+ umbrella. In the application form, you must select Politecnico di Milano as your first preferred university for both semesters (winter and summer) and tick the Double degree studies box.

You must also provide proof of foreign language skills and submit your application. Detailed information on how to prove the level of the foreign language can be found in the section Proof of foreign language level.

Only those who are actively studying at the time of application may apply. You will use your KOS login details to log in to Mobility.

• 1st round: November – December
• 2nd round: March

The CTU Rector's Office decides on the announcement of the second round of the selection procedure based on consultation with the faculty coordinators.

In the Mobility application, select the correct selection procedure in the section Overview of deadlines. Make sure the selection procedure is valid, the round is correct and the mobility programme is correct. You may also come across older, invalid tenders.

The selection procedure for the DD mobility within the Erasmus+ program is open to 1st year Master's students.

In the application form you will select the field of Architecture and Urbanism (code 0731).

PoliMi has an official language for teaching, English. The level of English will be a crucial criterion for the DD programme. Knowledge of Italian for DD is appreciated.

You can prove your knowledge of the language in the following ways:

• Certificate (e.g. from an international or national language exam),
• Passing the language test

Certificates: 

• TOEFL, IELTS, CAE, FCE
• The certificate must not be older than 4 years
• Upload the certificates to the application form in Mobility or send them to Kristýna Sedlaříková MA.

No certificate?

• Sign up for a test, the dates of which can be found directly in the Mobility app.
• Validity of the tests: if you have taken the test in previous selection rounds, you can use your results (no older than 4 years).

Before submitting, check all details, select the method of proof of foreign language and submit your application. Unsubmitted applications are invalid. Once the application has been sent, the Vice Dean decides on its approval. Reasons for non-approval may be:

• Weighted average worse than 2,2.
• Insufficient number of free credits (at least 20 free credits are needed).

Unapproved applications do not proceed to the next stage of the selection procedure.

Nomination is done by having the faculty coordinator enter your details into the system of the foreign university. After the nomination deadline, the university will inform you of the next step (usually the creation of an application using the access data you have sent).

Deadlines for nominations:

• Winter semester: March – June (by mid-June the latest).

Nomination does not guarantee admission to a foreign university.

Complete the application form according to the instructions of the foreign university and meet the deadline. If you need to provide a Transcript of Records, please contact the Faculty Coordinator. You will also need:

• comparison sheet (to be signed by the Vice-Dean for Education)
• Learning Agreement (example here)

Don't forget to submit your application on time. Acceptance to Erasmus+ is confirmed by a Letter of Acceptance from the foreign university.

After receiving the Letter of Acceptance, inform the faculty coordinator who will issue you a "card" in the Mobility app where you upload these documents:

• Letter of Acceptance
• comparison sheet
• Learning Agreement
• insurance
• confirmation of studies

The OLS test is optional.

Make sure you have filled in your details (including account number and contact details of your relative) and all documents correctly at least three weeks before departure.

Sign the financial agreement no later than two weeks before departure in order to receive the Erasmus+ grant. Sign the spreadsheet (link).

Once you receive your Transcript of Records from the foreign university, send it or bring it together with the Proof of Recognition of Studies Abroad form to the Study Department. Based on these documents, your courses from abroad will be recognized. Here is the Proof of Recognition of Courses template.

All templates can be found under the section Documents.

The original Confirmation of Study Period must be submitted to the International Relations Office at the Rectorate (8th floor) within 10 days of your return. This document will be certified by the foreign university, so you must request it before your departure. If the university sends this document electronically, it must be sent directly to CTU at the following email address: navraterasmus@cvut.cz.

Completing the Stay Report (EU Survey) is mandatory. You will receive a request to complete the report via the email address you provided in the Mobility application, through the European mobility database for Erasmus+. The request is sent at irregular intervals, so there is no need to worry if you do not receive it immediately after your return.

Completing the NAEP (National Agency for European Educational Programs) report is voluntary. Instructions for completing the report can be found in the step-by-step guide. The Final Reports database is freely accessible, and by completing it, you will help future students plan their stays.

Upon return, it is necessary to upload all relevant documents to the student's card in the Mobility system:

• Proof of Recognition of Courses,
• Confirmation of Study Period,
• Transcript of Records,
• Stay Report (EU Survey).
