Preparing the study plan

What is a study plan?

The study plan is the list of exams required to complete your degree. Some exams are mandatory, while others are elective. For specific information, refer to the page regarding the course structure diagrams. 

We advise students to print a copy of their study plans once submitted. Having a printed copy of a study plan can be helpful in case of irregularities with Studenti Online.

Bear in mind that: 

-       Workshops and seminars have compulsory attendance and a limited number of places. It is advisable that students check the availability on the relevant course pages. 

-       Students enrolling in the academic year 2023-24 as out-of-course students (“student fuoricorso” in Italian) may modify their study plan only if they intend to graduate after the graduation session in Spring 2024. Those who intend to graduate within the session of March 2024 cannot make any changes to their study plans.

To whom it is addressed

Anyone who is duly enrolled, in good standing with the payment of university fees and in possession of a valid residence permit in the case of an international student may submit the Study Plan.

Submission of the study plan - academic year 2023/24

HOW TO SUBMIT THE STUDY PLAN

Studenti Online Service

Current students may submit their study plan through the Studenti Online Service.

Once you have made your choices, remember to click on "save" so that your study plan can be correctly submitted.

Paper form

Transfer students cannot use the Studenti Online Service and must therefore write to didatticasociale.rilm@unibo.it. Requests for submission or modification of the plan will only be accepted during the periods set aside for the submission of the study plan.

Submission of educational activities activated in the University

As part of the choice activities envisaged in the 2nd year, students may choose, in addition to the subjects suggested by the course of study, from among those activated by the Department of Political and Social Sciences and/or the University.

The courses activated at the Bologna Campus Master's degree level are pre-authorised and can be added to the plan via the Studenti Online Service.

For the Department's courses activated at the Master's degree courses on the Forlì Campus, their inclusion in the plan is subject to authorisation by the course offering the course. The request for authorisation must be addressed in a single e-mail to the Coordinator of the degree course and to the teacher of the course and, for information, to the Didactic Manager of the study course.

After obtaining the authorisation, it is necessary to request the inclusion of the teaching activity in the plan by sending it to didatticasociale.rilm@unibo.it:

- the Request Form for Free Choice Activities, completed and signed 

- the nulla osta of the course providing the activity

For courses activated at Master's degree level outside the Department, it is necessary to request authorisation from the course providing the educational activity. In order to ascertain how to apply for authorisation, it is advisable to contact the course's Didactic Manager.

After obtaining the authorisation, it is necessary to request the inclusion of the training activity in the plan by sending it to didatticasociale.rilm@unibo.it:

- the Request form for free-choice activities, completed and signed

- the nulla osta of the course providing the activity

Only requests sent during the period set aside for submitting/amending the study plan will be taken into consideration.
