    Study Plan

    The Study Plan (Piano di studio) is the list of all the activities (exams, internship, etc.)  you must carry out to earn the credits (CFU/ECTS) required to graduate.

    The Study Plan can be modified throughout the years (in specific timeframes) until you apply for graduation.

    2. Requiring approval: It allows you to include some educational activities offered by other Departments/Schools but is subject to approval by the Degree Programme Board (CCS - Consiglio del Corso di Studi).

    Filling in your Study Plan is compulsory. You must fill it out in accordance with the Manifesto degli Studi of your degree program, i.e., a list of all the course units offered in your degree program, and the rules related to your enrolment year.

    Online procedure is now available. Please check below for further details.
