If you choose Computational Tools in Year 1: You do not need to take the Laboratory in Year 3.

Verify that the following core courses are already listed: 37299 Financial Analysis, 37296 Commercial Law, 37300 Financial Markets and Institutions, 37297 Industrial Organization, 09511 Marketing.
💡 Internships/RAship: Students on both tracks can add an Internship / RAship to their plan during the February submission window.
In your 3rd year, you must complete your Study Plan with compulsory activities and a minimum of 18 ECTS of electives. You may select up to 54 ECTS in your online plan for flexibility, but you are only required to pass 18 ECTS to graduate.
Electives must be taught in English (English language courses do not qualify as electives).
You can select courses offered by Economics and Finance (CLEF), such as:
Sustainable Finance
Data Science for Economics and Finance
Development: Economics and Financial Markets
Law and Economics of Regulation
Market Analysis and Reporting
Monetary Economics: Theory of Money and Liquidity
Morality and Economic Behavior
Saving, Wealth and Economic Behavior: Micro Meets Macro
Internship/RAship: A 12 ECTS internship/RAship (taken in Year 3 or the summer right after Year 2) counts toward your 18 ECTS elective requirement.
Foreign Languages (Language Centre / CLA): You may choose B1 (3 ECTS) or B2 (6 ECTS) in French, German, or Spanish. (Native speakers cannot choose their mother tongue).
We strongly recommend adding Laboratory/Professional Design Lab and Innovative Retailing to your Bologna Study Plan. If you pass these exams in Buenos Aires, the Bologna modules will be removed automatically. If you do not pass them abroad, you will be able to sit them in Bologna.
If you plan to graduate within the 2025/2026 academic year (sessions: July 2026, September 2026, October 2026, or March 2027):
🚫 DO NOT edit your Study Plan in A.Y. 2026/2027!
If you modify your Study Plan in Autumn 2026 or Feb 2027, you will not be allowed to graduate in March 2027. Your final opportunity to edit your plan before graduating in March 2027 was February 2026.
🚨 Exam Timing & Graduation:
If you edit your plan in February 2027 to add 1st-semester electives, you cannot graduate in July 2027.
Learning Agreement (L.A.) vs. Study Plan:
Your Learning Agreement covers the courses you take abroad. However, any elective choices not included in your L.A. must be listed in your official Unibo Study Plan by the deadlines.
Best Practice:
Fill out your Unibo Study Plan as if you were staying in Bologna. If you fail to sit an exam abroad, having it pre-selected in your Unibo Study Plan ensures you can take the equivalent exam upon your return.
