The MSc Programme in Environmental Engineering for Sustainable Development (Corso di Studi in Ingegneria Ambientale per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile) has successfully activated a Double Degree agreement with Cracow University of Technology (Politechnika Krakowska). This bilateral agreement allows the students who participate to obtain, at the end of the study period, a Master’s degree both from UNICA and PK.

The Double Degree Programme is dedicated to the students enrolled in the “Environmental remediation technologies” curriculum of our MSc Programme.

International curriculum

The Double Degree agreement offers students the opportunity to spend the second year (3rd and 4th semesters) of the Master’s programme at Cracow University of Technology, where they will attend the following courses:

3rd Semester (October – January)

4th Semester (February – June)

Students have the opportunity to prepare their diploma dissertation under the supervision of a professor either from PK or UNICA, or under the co-supervision of two professors, one from PK and one from UNICA. The diploma dissertation is presented and defended by the students at one or both partner universities. If the dissertation is defended at the partner institution, a professor from the student’s home university is invited as a member of the examination board.

Admission process

The admission process for the Double Degree programme occurs during the first semester, when students are already enrolled in the first year of Environmental Engineering for Sustainable Development Master’s programme. A maximum of 5 students of PK and of UNICA will be selected.

Canditates will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

• analysis of the Bachelor (1st level, final grade, duration, affinity) and Master career;
• written motivation;
• certified English language level;
• interview in English.

Students qualified for the study programme at both partner universities have to prove language competencies in English at least at B2 level, before departure.

The students selected for the Double Degree programme will be enrolled at the home university and at the partner university but they will pay tuition fees at the home university alone.

Call for Applications to conduct adaptation training for students from Poland

We are announcing a call for students and doctoral candidates to conduct adaptation training for students from Cracow University of Technology, Poland, who will come to UniCa as part of the double degree programme implemented under the DUALECO – Katamaran NAWA project.

The aim of the training is to support students from Kraków during their first days at the University of Cagliari and to facilitate their adaptation to academic, organisational, and everyday life in Cagliari. The training is intended to help participants become familiar with the university, the faculty, the campuses, basic procedures, and the most important places useful during their studies and stay in Cagliari.

Eligibility:

• only students enrolled at the University of Cagliari (from the third year of studies onwards) and PhD candidates from the University of Cagliari can apply.

Requisites: 

• documented knowledge of English or Polish at a minimum level of B2;
• the status of a student in at least the third year of studies or a doctoral candidate at the University of Cagliari;
• availability in the last week of September;
• organisational skills and confidence in communicating with international students;
• readiness to prepare and conduct a 12-hour adaptation training course over 3 days.

A gross remuneration of approximately EUR 1,400 is provided for the preparation and delivery of the adaptation training, paid on the basis of a civil law contract.

Interested candidates are asked to submit their application using the template, by e-mail to: carucci@unica.it by 15/07/2026. The subject line of the e-mail should read: “Adaptation training for students from Cracow University of Technology – application”.

The selected person/persons will be responsible for preparing and delivering the adaptation training in consultation with the Faculty. The detailed training schedule will be agreed after the completion of the recruitment process. The application may be submitted by one person or by a team of several people.

In the case of a team application, the indicated amount constitutes the total remuneration for the delivery of the training and will not be increased depending on the number of persons included in the application.
