Université Catholique de Lille

For the academic year 2027-28, 4 students will be selected.

For selection purposes, a ranking will be compiled based on the following:

• 40% weighted average or results of exams passed
• 40% total credits accumulated
• 20% language skills 

In the event of a tie in scores, additional qualifications will be assessed according to the following priority order:

1. Bachelor’s Degree grade (if available for both candidates)
2. High School Diploma grade
3. Date of birth (the oldest candidate wins)
    

English (compulsory)

Students intending to apply for the Double Degree programme must have a minimum English language proficiency of B2 level, either obtained through an international certification or demonstrated by the student’s certificate of enrollment in the Master’s Degree in Global Business Management. All certifications must have been obtained not earlier than May 1st, 2025. At the link is the list of accepted certifications and equivalent scores.

French (optional)

Please note that French knowledge enhances the possibility of working part-time and gaining professional experience in France. It is also helpful in everyday life. However, all courses will be taught in English.
 

Students have to pass all the exams of the first year (including Theology) of Global Business Management by September 2027.

1st year, Master’s in Global Business Management – to be completed at Cattolica

2nd year, Master’s in International Management – to be completed at Université Catholique de Lille

Students participating in the programme can write their Final Thesis either with a Cattolica or a UCL supervisor. Graduation at Université Catholique de Lille is scheduled in September 2028, therefore:

• If the student decides to write their thesis with a Cattolica supervisor, they will have to graduate in July 2028 from Università Cattolica
• If the student decides to write their thesis with a Université Catholique de Lille supervisor, they will graduate in October 2028 from Università Cattolica

Anyway, students will have to follow the Cattolica procedures to register for the proper Cattolica official Graduation day (i.e. in terms of steps, deadlines and fees).
 

Students selected for the programme will be responsible for the costs of their stay abroad (travel, accommodation, food and costs of materials). Students selected for the programme must also be officially enrolled at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore while they are abroad (keeping the deadlines for university fees, study plans, requests for graduation, etc.).

Students will benefit from the standard Erasmus Exchange scholarships for the period they spend abroad. Scholarships will be confirmed during the month of July 2027. 

The following documents could be requested:

• ISEE Universitario
• Receipts of payment (e.g. accommodation, transport, flights, etc.)
• Online Learning Agreement, duly filled in with courses attended
• Period of Study Statement, duly filled in (instructions will be provided)
   

Selected students will benefit from the health insurance provided by AXA in collaboration with Cattolica. In addition, the “Student Safety Package” will be activated, and the students will be able to download the Safety Check Students app for geolocation and instant communications in case of emergency. More information about the activation procedure will be provided to the selected students.

AXA insurance policy activation is compulsory for all Cattolica students doing an international experience.
