Attendance, crash courses and academic calendar

ATTENDANCE

Lecture attendance is compulsory and should be the 70% of the course. 

GIOCA also organizes seminars and conferences during the year inviting important professionals or professors; these are compulsory activities organized ad hoc only for the Program.

Here are a few good reasons to attend lectures:

  1. A teacher's guidance and support is essential to enrich and complete the learning process. Learning is not about studying passively, but about unleashing your potential through interaction.
  2. During the entire education process, you grow and improve and develop your projects by comparing and discussing with other people. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with the other students in your degree programme, organise study groups, exchange notes on the various disciplines, share experiences and strategies to prepare for exams. A precious opportunity worth experiencing.
  3. While you are in class, you are studying; therefore, you are constantly learning without skipping a beat!
  4. It is essential to take active part in all practical disciplines, such as laboratory work and seminars.

A Welcome Week is planned on September to welcome and orientate new admitted students and to give information on School facilities, offices, administrative and online procedures and introduce students and professors, the course plan, the learning activities and the opportunities offered. The same week  some crash-courses will start. 

CRASH COURSES

If you come from a different background than economics, business administration and management studies do not worry!

Crash-Courses are organized for those students who do not have an economic background, in order to fulfill pre-requisite basis on economics and management. ​

Each GIOCA student will receive an indication about which Crash Course will be considered mandatory or optional after a thorough assessment of their previous academic background.

Attendance is, therefore, strongly recommended for students who do not have a degree in business and economics, but it is suggested also to all other students. 

The crash courses do not have ECTS (they are not included in the study plan!) and are held from September  through the first semester.
