Preparing the study plan

What is a study plan?

The study plan is the complete set of exams that you need to sit in order to graduate. Some exams are compulsory, while others are elective.

A study plan can be presented by properly enrolled students who have paid their tuition fees and, in the case of international students, who hold a valid residence permit.

When to submit your study plan

You must submit a study plan for each year of the Master's Degree programme.

PLEASE NOTE: Failure to submit a study plan will prevent you from registering for and sitting examinations.

You can submit and amend your study plan in three periods during the academic year. 

For the Academic Year 2026-2027, these are the three periods, as established by the Academic Board in June 2026:

• from 23 September to 20 November 2026

• from 10 February to 05 March 2027

• from 12 May to 28 May 2027

Following the expiry of the deadlines, the most recently submitted study plan shall be deemed valid, and no further amendments may be made. During the designated amendment periods, the study plan may be modified multiple times.

Once an online study plan has been submitted, your academic record is updated in real time, allowing you to immediately verify whether the procedure has been completed successfully on Studenti Online. 

For study plans submitted using a paper form, for individual study plans requiring an authorization, however, please allow sufficient time for the authorization procedure to be completed and for your academic record to be updated manually.

How to present your study plan

The study plan can be presented:

• via Studenti Online by enrolled students who, by accessing the website using your University usernames and passwords need to:
  • complete the study plan by selecting elective courses
  • modify selections made in previous academic years (or periods)
  After making the desired choices, remember to click on “save” so that your study plan can be presented correctly.
  It is also advisable to print a copy of your completed study plan. This copy is in fact the only way to check for formal or substantive errors that might arise after uploading your study plan.
• with Hard-copy forms. Students who are “fuori corso” (past envisaged completion time for the degree course) or who have transferred in the Master's Degree cannot use the Studenti Online system and must use the hard-copy forms.
  All parts of the form must be completed correctly and delivered to administrative office.

Approval of your study plan

If you select elective subjects from among those offered by the degree programme, there is no need for assessment and your plan is approved automatically and input to your career file.

On the other hand, if you want to choose exams not specifically offered by your degree programme, approval or otherwise will be decided by Board of the Study Programme.

Please find attached the Study Plan Guidelines, which provide further information on this matter.
