The updated list of destinations will be available in the fall.

The Summer Programmes are aimed at all Cattolica students who want to take one or more courses at a university abroad during the summer months. Recent graduates are also eligible up to 12 months after graduation so long as they are not enrolled at another university.

For most destinations, you do not need to demonstrate a minimum grade average to take part. You need proof of a good knowledge of English; the required level varies depending on the destination. Cattolica International organises preparation courses for international language certification and offers those without certification the option of taking an internal English test during the application phase. 

Applications open in November, and each destination will have a different application deadline.

Departure dates and duration of the programme depend on the destination. However, all courses are between two and eight weeks during the summer months. Departure dates for most courses is between July and August.  

Study grants awarded on the basis of academic merit are available for all destinations and are paid as a refund.

The number of study grants available and the amount of each study grant varies according to the destination. 

Applications for study grants are automatically submitted after application for the programme: you do not need to submit a specific application. In the awarding of grants, priority will be given to current students over recent graduates.
