Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, as part of its mission to foster relationships with developing countries, offers a special programme to meritable students from the African continent. This programme enables eligible candidates to study an English-taught 2-year graduate degree / Laurea Magistrale with a tuition and university fees reduction.
Benefits
The tuition and university fees (after reduction) are as follows:
- Published Tuition: €9,050
- Tuition fee reduction: €5,870 per year
- Tuition to be paid: €3,480 per year
However, students will still be responsible for their own living expenses, hence the Università Cattolica Africa Scholars Programme is NOT a programme through which full scholarships can be obtained.
Requirements
Students, either citizens or residents, of all African countries may apply for the Africa Scholars Programme.
Admission requirements for all 2-year graduate degrees include:
- Completion of a Bachelor Degree from a recognized university with 2nd class upper division / 2.1 degree final classification, or higher.
