2026/2027 Study plan

Key academic regulations

  • Students who are interested are required to read the curriculum and the rules that apply to it. As a general rule, it is not possible to make changes to the curriculum. 
  • The exams listed in the curriculum must be taken and passed before the start of the mobility year. 
  • During the mobility period, students will be subject to the regulations of the University of Gothenburg. 

Information about the thesis

Detailed information about the procedures and their deadlines will be provided by the two universities during the programme. For reference: 

  • Students are required to comply with the procedures and deadlines set by both institutions for the completion of their thesis. 
  • The thesis will be written during the mobility period under the supervision of two supervisors, one from Luiss and one from the University of Gothenburg. The thesis proposal must be approved by both supervisors and meet the academic standards of both universities. 
  • The thesis project is an individual piece of work. 
  • Each university will assess the final thesis in accordance with its own criteria. 
  • In the second semester of the mobility year, students are required to take courses that prepare them for their thesis at the University of Gothenburg. As the courses are delivered in person in Gothenburg, Luiss students will need to be at the partner institution to work on their dissertations, take part in workshops, and present their work. 
  • Presenting one's thesis, acting as an opponent (discussant) for another student's thesis, and submitting the final version of the thesis are all compulsory requirements for obtaining a degree from the University of Gothenburg. The thesis presentation takes place in May, while the final version of the dissertation is due in June.

  • Students selected for a Double Degree programme are required to follow the curriculum set out for the year of mobility, including any changes, particularly those relating to language courses and other academic activities. 
  • While Luiss is committed to providing complete, accurate, and timely information, it reserves the right to modify, update, or withdraw the programme at any time.
