Key academic regulations
- Students who are interested are required to read and understand the Student Handbook and its rules. No changes to the curriculum are permitted.
- The exams listed in the study plan must be taken and passed before the mobility year.
- During the mobility period, students will be subject to the regulations of the host university (Solvay in the second year and Goethe in the third year).
- Selected students will be required to earn all the credits stipulated for each academic year at the university where they are studying, within that academic year itself (including the August/September resit session). Failure to meet this condition will result in exclusion from the Programme and return to the home university, which may recognise credits earned abroad at its discretion and in accordance with its own procedures and regulations.
Information about the thesis
Each university will provide detailed information on rules and timelines in due course.
- Students will only obtain a degree from all three universities after successfully completing all the credits required for each degree. This includes meeting the assessment criteria set for each course and activity by the end of the third year of the programme.
- Students will complete their final thesis assessment during the third year of the programme at Goethe University.
- Students on the EU-TriBE Programme cannot graduate from Luiss in the summer session (July). Therefore, the first available graduation session will be in the autumn (October/November).
