Free Choice Learning Activities (max limit 50 CFU)

These are free choice learning activities of Second Year (overall minimum 12 cfu until maximum of 50 cfu), but you can move up one course to the First Year. We recommend that you choose the courses using the Choice group “CdS 9245 - Physics” or “CdS 5828 - Astrophysics and Cosmology”. If you choose the courses using the Choice group "qualsiasi attività dell'Ateneo" (any course offered by other master degree programmes), the approval of your plan will be decided by the Degree Programme Director.

In preparation of the Final Examination (24 CFU)

As part of their final exam, students may choose to carry out practical and research activities within companies/institutions external to Unibo, or within Unibo laboratories. In this case you should select an Internship activity, by applying on “SOL – Internship” (for more details go on your degree course’s website: homepage > studying> Internship for final examination). If you select activities abroad, you intend to enter a competition for international mobility (e.g. Thesis Abroad, Erasmus+, etc.).
