Lecture attendance

Information for students enrolling from A.Y. 2024/2025

Attendance for teaching activities - both classes and labs - is compulsory for 80% of the hours. Attendance is verified with different methods by each teacher. We recommend that students read the Degree Programme Regulations, which provide all the information with regards to lecture and laboratory attendance obligations.

Possible updates will be published by each professor/lecturer on their website.

Lecture attendance is not compulsory but is strongly recommended. 
Many students find that attending lectures regularly is the easiest and quickest way of completing the degree programme.

If you are enrolled in the first year, get off on the right foot! University marks a big change in the way you study and are assessed. Getting the right pace is important to avoid finding that you have already fallen behind in the acquisition of your education credits (CFUs) at the end of the first year.

Here are a few good reasons to attend lectures:

  1. A teacher's guidance and support is essential to enrich and complete the learning process. Learning is not about studying passively, but about unleashing your potential through interaction.
  2. During the entire education process, you grow and improve and develop your projects by comparing and discussing with other people. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with the other students in your degree programme, organise study groups, exchange notes on the various disciplines, share experiences and strategies to prepare for exams. A precious opportunity worth experiencing.
  3. While you are in class, you are studying; therefore, you are constantly learning without skipping a beat!
  4. It is essential to take active part in all practical disciplines, such as laboratory work and internships.
