"SOFT SKILLS" (max limit 9 CFU)
The University of Bologna furthermore offers teachings that develop students' transversal skills ("Soft Skills") that can be included in the study plan as elective learning activity. PLEASE NOTE: some of these courses are "duplicates" because they are spread over several periods in preparation for high demand, so it is not allowed to select 2 editions of the same teaching.

Second Year

FINAL EXAMINATION (20 CFU)

As for the Final Examination, you can choose to carry out practical and research activities at external institutions and companies or at University internal laboratories. These preparatory activities may be included in the career path to specify the nature of the work performed and registered with an eligibility. Students who will carry out a practical activity in preparation for the final examination in Italy or abroad, will have to split the final examination into two parts: Final Examination discussion (5 CFU) + Preparation for Final examination 15 CFU (if the activity will take place is in Italy) or Preparation for Final examination abroad 15 CFU. The breakdown needs to be done whenever a student decides to carry out practical activities continuously in a laboratory to prepare the final exam. If you intend to prepare the final exam not including continuous attendance neither at the University facilities nor at external ones (companies etc...), you must insert the Final examination LM 20 CFU in your study plan. Students who insert the Preparation for the Final Examination 15 CFU (in Italy or abroad) must activate the internship procedure following instructions on the page "Studying - Curricular internship and final exam preparation"
