Bachelor in Social Sciences for Sustainability and International Cooperation at University for Foreigners of Perugia

Social Sciences for Sustainability and International Cooperation

SoCI is a three-year, 180-credit bachelor's degree in class L-37 at the University for Foreigners of Perugia. It combines social-science study with sustainability and international cooperation. Italian preparation matters: this course must not be presented as an English-only degree.

Teaching languages and suitability

The university's official SoCI page describes teaching and workshops that include English alongside Italian. Check individual course units to understand the language of classes and assessment.

The 2026/27 rules require non-EU applicants living abroad who need a visa to demonstrate Italian at B2 or above. Learning some Italian after arrival is not a substitute for meeting an admission requirement.

If you need to study entirely in English, tell us before we recommend this route. Compare your actual language preparation with the compulsory units, rather than choosing only by the English translation of the degree title.

What you will study

The published study plan includes history, politics, law, economics and the philosophy of sustainability. Later study addresses international relations, migration, digital sustainability and the green economy. English and Spanish language study are part of the degree.

Use the university's unit descriptions to assess the reading, writing and practical work. The course can suit students interested in social and environmental questions, but a broad interest in sustainability does not by itself establish that the language and academic workload fit your preparation.

Admission and preparation assessment

The 2026/27 programme catalogue is the governing source. You need a recognised secondary-school qualification. Initial preparation is assessed through a non-selective interview or TOLC-SU, with remedial requirements where gaps are found.

Check your applicant category, language assessment and document requirements before using the general enrolment timetable. For applicants needing a visa, the university and consular steps must also fit together. We do not assume that a general enrolment date extends a separate international deadline.

Funding and the cost of studying

The relevant regional authority is ADiSU Umbria. Its benefit application is separate from university admission. Review the current rules and plan for costs before any funding is paid. A tuition reduction or scholarship award should not be treated as an automatic promise that all your expenses will be covered.
