Second Cycle Degree/Two Year Master in Legal studies

Preparing the study plan

Information on how to prepare and present a 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.

Students are required to complete and submit their study plan, and to take strictly the exams listed therein.

WHO CAN PRESENT A STUDY PLAN?

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 PRESENT YOUR STUDY PLAN

You can present and amend your study plan in two periods during the academic year. 

The open windows for the 2026/2027 AY are:
- First period: from September 28  – to October 28
- Extra term (only for 1st year students):
from December 15 – to December 17
- Second period: from January 11 – to March 3

Following expiry of the deadlines, the last study plan presented will be deemed valid and no further amendments may be made.

HOW TO PRESENT YOUR STUDY PLAN

Studenti Online

To fill out and submit your study plan, you must log into the Studenti Online portal using your institutional credentials (name.surname@studio.unibo.it and password). 

During the study plan submission period, you can fill out and modify your study plan. Once you have selected your courses, you must click the button <save> to successfully submit your study plan. 

After saving the study plan, further modifications can only be made while the submission window remains open.  

The last saved version will always be the valid one, and it will automatically update your study plan and academic record. 

No further changes are permitted outside these time windows; you will only be able to modify your study plan again during the next available window. The completed plan can be viewed on your profile immediately after saving. It is therefore recommended to promptly check your Studenti Online profile to ensure the plan has been correctly filled out. 

Furthermore, you are strongly advised to print a copy of your completed study plan once the procedure is finished. This printed copy serves as the only valid proof in the event of formal or substantive discrepancies, or system malfunctions. 

"Fuori corso" students

Students who are “fuori corso” (past envisaged completion time for the degree course) or who have transferred in are not able to use the Studenti Online system.

If you are a "fuori corso" student, you can send the list of modifications you want to make to dsg.legs@unibo.it. 

Please, be aware that, if you want to graduate by March 2027, it is not possible for you to modify your study plan. 

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 the Degree Programme Board.
