Please note: if you change the free elective courses chosen in the past academic year (a.y. 2023/24) you will not be able to graduate within March 2024.

After the study plan submission deadline, the degree programme will check students’ study plans: if this requisite is not respected, the selected course will be cancelled (along with the mark  the student have obtained, if any) and the student will not be able to submit his study plan again during the same academic year.

    • Internships - for more information please contact the Internship and Placement Office.

    Information for students who completed a study period abroad

    Students who put elective credits with the indication of the sector only in their learning agreement, must submit in their online study plan. It is not possible to select the credits as they are indicated in the learning agreement (for ex. 15 ECTS credits of SECS-P/08). Therefore, it is necessary to select some “backup” courses. Then, if the student asks for the recognition of all the 12 elective credits at the end of the experience abroad, it will not be necessary to complete the “backup” exams and it will be possible to ask to the student administration office to delete them. On the contrary, it will be possible for the student to take the “backup” exams indicated in the online study plan.

    • 2nd period: from 30/January/2025 to 28/February/2025


    The Joint Teaching Committee and the Degree Programme Board will evaluate if the proposed individual study plan is coherent with the Degree programme regulations and learning outcomes.
    The number of exams, courses and ECTS of the individual study plan cannot be less than the ones foreseen in the official study plan.
    The written and motivated request for an individual study plan has to be submitted to the programme coordinator within the before mentioned periods (with a 16,00€ stamp duty).
