Assessment of preparation

At the beginning of the first year, the Course Council verifies the knowledge of the enrolled students. Following this verification, any gaps in training will be identified and the resulting remedial activities will be identified through support and tutoring.
For this purpose, students have to take an assessment test at the beginning of class. The test is designed to ascertain the level of knowledge in basic science subjects such as mathematics, biology and general chemistry. Possession of such knowledge is in fact considered a minimum condition for taking the examinations.
The test will be administered online and students will have a maximum of 60 min to answer the questions. Students will have to pass a threshold level of correct answers, below which Additional Formative Obligations (OFAs) will be assigned. An OFA is considered to have been fulfilled when the student has repeated and passed the assessment test. If the OFA is not fulfilled, the student may not sit any examinations

Part-time enrolment

It is possible to enrol part-time for a degree course by following the instructions in the Regulations for the Enrolment of Part-Time Students

Enrolment in single course units

It is possible to enroll in single teaching courses and for a maximum number of 30 ECTS without prejudice to the possibility of increasing the aforementioned number of ECTS due to justified training needs on the part of the Degree Program Board. The deadline for the purchase of single courses is 20 September 2024 for courses delivered in the first semester and 17 February 2025 for courses delivered in the second semester. For students enrolling in courses that involve laboratory activities, it is a fundamental requirement to be in possession of the certificate relating to the completion of the Safety Course issued by the University of Parma.
