UNIVERSITY OF LUGANO

Università della Svizzera italiana (University of Lugano - USI) is a young and lively university, a hub of opportunity open to the world where students are offered a quality interdisciplinary education in which they can be fully engaged and take centre stage, and where our researchers can count on having the space to freely pursue their initiative. It is organised in Faculties and is active in several study and research areas, among which: architecture, communication sciences, computational science, data science, economics, health studies, humanities, informatics, law, medicine and biomedicine. International faculty, good infrastructures, connections to the labour market, and a favourable context within the Swiss university system: these are all elements that are much appreciated by students and that make for a rewarding study experience at USI. It offers quality and interdisciplinary study curricula where theory and practice go hand in hand and where students play an important role: small-sized classes are the ideal venue for exercising in groups and for each individual student to express him/herself and thus develop their personalities and their uniqueness. In general, USI doesn't offer Bachelor's or Master's thesis exchange programmes. Students working on their project during the mobility are requested to take at minimum one course. Neither ECTS credit points will be awarded for the thesis nor the project will appear in the transcript of records. Exception: at the Faculty of Informatics, during the second semester at USI and after approval of the home university coordinator. Exchange students are invited to contact the International Relations and study abroad service to find whether the possibility is given.
