Course units and programme of study
The programme of study is the set of compulsory and elective course units that the student must take in order to graduate.
Submission of the programme of study for one's year of enrolment is compulsory and is necessary, above all, for enrolling for examinations and completing the teaching evaluation questionnaires.
All current students must submit their programme of study online via the Esse3 system The programme of study may differ depending on the academic year of enrolment ('cohort'); it may also provide for a choice between different curricula.
For a list of the course units that can be included in the programme of study, select the academic year of enrolment and, if available, the curriculum.

How the curriculum works
The list of course units in the programme of study represents the set of training activities that can be envisaged for each of the years of which the degree course consists and changes according to the year in which the student enrols. Free or restricted-choice' course units are optional learning activities that students may include in their programme of study according to the choice criteria specified on this page; the remaining course units are compulsory for all students.
The programme of study must be submitted online by the student for each year using the ESSE3 system (see dedicated section).
Students are allowed to submit their own programme of study with options other than those presented on this page (and available in ESSE3), as long as it is consistent with achieving the course's educational objectives. In that case, the plan must be submitted to the Degree Council for approval.

Request for inclusion of supernumerary ECTS credits in the programme of study
The Programme of Study of the Psychobiology Degree Course stipulates that students must compulsorily take 8 ECTS credits from freely chosen course units. Students who, for motivated educational and professional interests, wish to include further elective courses and thus obtain a number of free ECTS credits in excess of 8, must make a prior request to the degree course for authorisation. The request on unstamped paper, addressed to the Course President, must be delivered to the Student Registry Office (via Volturno 39), and will be assessed by the Degree Council, which will decide on the matter. A maximum of three supernumerary electives are permitted.
Supernumerary ECTS credits do not replace any compulsory training activities (profit, aptitude or vocational).
