Erasmus+ and other mobility programmes
Educational offerings
The Department of Law at the University of Ferrara currently offers:
A single-cycle degree in Law, in Ferrara
A single-cycle degree in Law, at the satellite campus in Rovigo
A three-year degree in Legal Services, in Ferrara
Exchange students can prepare their own Learning Agreement, choosing from a large number of elective courses in English, Italian, French and Spanish.
While some courses are specifically meant to target the needs of exchange students, as guest students they are entitled to pick courses from any curriculum offered at the Department of Law, as well as at other Departments of the University of Ferrara.
If they are interested in taking foundational courses in Italian, they may wish to consider selecting courses from the Bachelor’s Degree curriculum, rather than their equivalent of the single-cycle degree curriculum. The former earn fewer ECTS, and are therefore less demanding.
Please note: some optional courses in Italian are only offered at our Rovigo site. However, it will also be possible to attend classes online.
Students can also apply for a traineeship. For information on Erasmus traineeships, please see the specific section.
