The Department of Studies on Language and Culture at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and the Département de Langues Étrangères Appliquées at Université Paris Nanterre signed a Double Degree Agreement in 2016. This agreement allows a selection of students from both universities each year to earn two diplomas after spending their third year at the partner institution: a degree in European Languages and Cultures and a degree in Langues Étrangères Appliquées.

Eligibility Criteria

Students enrolled in the three-year degree program in European Languages and Cultures who have chosen French and English (but not with French as a third language) and the Economic-Legal curriculum are eligible to apply. Admission to the double degree program is based on a selection process that includes an interview and evaluation of the following criteria:

• Proficiency in French (at least B2 level)
• Proficiency in English (at least B2 level)
• Strong academic curriculum (no outstanding exams, high average grade)
• Motivation and independence in academic work

Program Duration

The double degree program involves spending one year at Paris Nanterre during the third year of university studies.

Scholarship

Selected students will be eligible for an Erasmus+ scholarship. No additional tuition fees are required for studying in France.

Study Plan and Final Thesis

Students will follow a structured study plan that includes the completion of courses in a third language, Marketing and International Marketing, and Comparative Law. The 4 ECTS credits in “Other Skills” will be automatically validated. For the final thesis, students may request a co-supervisor from Paris Nanterre. The thesis must be completed by May 15th.

Accommodation

The University of Modena and Reggio Emilia does not assist with finding accommodation in Paris. Selected students can request a room at the Paris Nanterre University Residence when submitting their “candidature en ligne.”
