Preparing the study plan

You can submit the study plan if you are regularly enrolled in a.y. 2024/2025 (be sure that you paid all due fees and that you submitted the residence permit receipt or card if you are an international student) and if your year of registration envisages the submission of the study plan.

If you plan to graduate by the end of a.y. 2023/2024 (session of March 2025), you cannot submit or change your study plan in the current academic year (a.y. 2024/2025).

During a.y. 2024/2025, you can submit and modify your study plan online in the following period: 

- From October 1st, 2024 to March 31st, 2025

Following expiry of the deadline, the last study plan presented will be deemed valid and no further amendments can be made for the current academic year.

Changing the study plan or the curriculum with the form

Please note that you will have to submit your request through a form if:

- you want to add a course that is offered by a degree with a restricted access;

- you want to change your curriculum.

You have to send the form to the Programme Coordinator in the pdf format from your @studio.unibo.it account during these two periods:

- from October 1st to November 30th
- from March 1st to March 31st

This procedure will take up to several weeks and you will be updated by the Programme Coordinator once your request has been evaluated.

The study plan is filled in and submitted through StudentiOnline. During the period indicated above, you can submit and modify it without limitations. Once the deadline for submission expires, the latest submitted study plan will be considered valid and no more amendments will be accepted. Once the study plan submitted online is approved, the list of courses can be found in your career.

If you select free-choice learning activities from among those offered by the degree programme, there is no need for an evaluation and your plan is approved automatically.

On the other hand,if you want to choose learning activities that are not included in the teaching regulations of your curriculum, the Degree Programme Board will have to approve your study plan. For a preliminary check it is advisable to contact the Degree Programme Director.

Please note that you can choose courses from Second Cycle Degrees/Two Years Masters only.

If you are interested in adding a free choice learning activity that is not among those listed by your degree programme, search it by course code through the following search tools (available at the bottom of the page on the online submission platform of the study plan):

• Insegnamento a scelta su VICEPRESIDENZA 20 - Presidenza della Scuola di Scienze sede di Bologna (for learning activities that are offered by one of the degree programmes of the Science area)
• Insegnamento a scelta su ATENEO 010 - UNIVERSITA' DI BOLOGNA (for learning activities that are offered by any degree programme of the University of Bologna).

If the course you are interested in is offered by a degree programme with restricted access, please remember that you have to submit this form by the deadlines indicated above in the section "When to submit the study plan - Changing the study plan with the form". 

Choices in the group related to the preparation of the Final Examination

When submitting the study plan online, Physics students can only choose the activity 87956 - PREPARATION FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION (24 CFU) / 88047 - PREPARAZIONE PROVA FINALE (24 CFU). If you want to carry out practical and research activities within Unibo laboratories or companies/institutions external to Unibo, such activities will be registered in your student records. However, you cannot include them in your study plan on your own: only after planning your project with your thesis Supervisor, your student records will be modified accordingly by the Student Administration Office.

1. If you want to prepare your final examination abroad, you will have to participate in the call for scholarships for the preparation of the thesis abroad (which is published every year) or participate in an international mobility programme and present your Learning Agreement as indicated in the call. Your student records will be updated after the mobility, once you submit the application for credit recognition.
2. If you want to choose the internship in Italy, you can write an e-mail to the Internship Office (scienze.tirocini@unibo.it) at any point during the academic year. Please indicate in the e-mail the code and name of the learning activities you need to add or remove. The Internship Office will evaluate your request and update your study plan as needed. For more information on internships please visit this page: https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/Physics/internships. 

For further information about the credits of the activity "Preparation for the final examination", please check this page https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/Physics/preparation-for-the-final-examination.  

If you wish to change your curriculum, first discuss about it with the Degree Programme Director.

In case of approval, you have to fill in this form and send it to the Degree Programme Director for their signature. Later, you have to send the signed document to the Degree Programme Office (scienzecittadella.international@unibo.it) to register this change in your career.

Please remember to indicate all the learning activities that need to be included in your study plan for each group (according to the Course Structure Diagram of the selected curriculum) and add all the relevant information as requested in the form (course code, course name, degree programme code, ECTS, course type/TAF, list/group).

Please remember that you can submit the form to change your curriculum only in the two periods indicated above in the section "When to submit the study plan - Changing the study plan or the curriculum with the form".
