The list of courses in the programme of study represents the set of training activities that can be envisaged for each of the years of which the course of study consists and changes according to the year in which the student enrols. Free or restricted-choice subjects are optional learning activities that students may include in their programme of study according to the choice criteria specified on this page; the remaining subjects 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 programme must be submitted to the Course Council for approval.

Attached are instructions for the online course on safety in the workplace for students enrolled in the a.y. 2021-2022.
 
Students are required to attend a safety training course, accessible from 20 NOVEMBER 2021 on the online Elly safety platform - https://elly2021.sicurezza.unipr.it.
Completion of the above-mentioned Safety Course does not give rise to any recognition of ECTS credits in one's career. Students coming from courses of study at the University of Parma who have already completed the aforementioned training course at UniPR during their previous careers are exempt from the safety course in question.
The deadline for completion of the Safety Course is 31 January 2022.
The course consists of 3 modules: the first referring to general training, the second and third to more specific training.
LOGIN: you can access the course from 20 November 2021 by logging in (on the top left of the page) with your University credentials. If on 20 November 2021 you have not yet completed the enrolment process and do not have standard University credentials (username: name.surname@studenti.unipr.it + password) for login, you can use guest-type credentials (obtained by upgrading numeric credentials to guest-type credentials). For information on how to obtain guest credentials, please refer to the guide: 4_2021_Login-at-Teams-and-Elly-pages-for-students-.pdf (unipr.it) on page 4 If the login fails and the message 'You cannot register for the course' appears. You should then send an e-mail to the tutors: andrea.barchi@unipr.it and caterina.scopelliti@unipr.it in which you indicate that you are unable to register for the security course. The tutors will enrol you manually in the course or, in case of technical problems, forward your report to: supporto.elly@unipr.it.
COURSE INFORMATION: After logging in, you must select: SAFETY COURSES FOR STUDENTS / DEPARTMENT - SAF: Department of Food and Drug This allows you to access the 3 modules into which the safety course is divided. Each module is divided into teaching units available in the form of: - film with slides; - handout (pdf) to support learning. In order to complete the course, it is necessary to view all teaching units in full and pass, with a percentage of at least 70% correct answers, the intermediate verification steps. These consist of multiple-choice questions, only one of which is correct. The path is obligatory: to access the next unit, it is necessary to have completed the previous one (Attention: interrupting the film before the end is equivalent to not having watched it). Only after completing a unit or passing a test will the link to the next one become visible.
At the end of each module, the relevant pdf certificate must be downloaded and retained.
The teacher responsible for the laboratory exercises in your training course (programme of study) will require you to show certificates of completion of the safety course before the start of the exercises. In the absence of these certificates, access to the workshops will not be allowed.
VALIDATION OF ANY SAFETY CERTIFICATES ALREADY HELD BY THE STUDENT. It is possible to be exempted from MODULE 1 (General safety training) if a general safety training certificate obtained externally by the student and already held by the student is validated. In order to be validated (and thus to be exempt from the 1st module), this general safety training certificate must meet certain criteria (date, training provider, duration, content, etc.). The facsimile identifies the minimum contents that the certificates must have, plus it specifies that: 
- the reference legislation must contain at least Legislative Decree 81/2008 and the State-Regions Agreement of 21/12/2011 and 25/07/2012;
- the total number of hours must be greater than or equal to 4;
- the course must have been held no more than 5 years The signature of the course organiser is mandatory, the name is not sufficient.

Regardless of the certificates held, it is ONLY possible to be exempted from carrying out MODULE 1; no certificate can be exempted from the other modules as they are Specific Training for our University. Only those who have taken the safety course at UNIMORE University are also exempt from Module 3, as it has the same contents (the module was realised in collaboration with UNIMORE). In order to be exempt from the 1st module, students must send the certificates of general safety training obtained in previous safety training courses to the TUTORS andrea.barchi@unipr.it and caterina.scopelliti@unipr.it, who will communicate any exemption from the 1st Module (or from Modules 1 and 3 for courses held at UNIMORE) PROBLEMS OF A TECHNICAL NATURE In the event of problems of a technical nature (e.g. videos cannot be viewed or you are unable to move on to the next unit) please notify the tutors: andrea.barchi@unipr.it and caterina.scopelliti@unipr.it who will check the nature of the problem and possibly forward the report to: supporto.elly@unipr.it
 

The survey of students' opinions concerning teaching is implemented by means of the 'Student Opinion Survey Questionnaires (OPIS)' and is an indispensable element in enabling the improvement of teaching, quality and organisation of study courses.
A 90-minute information video is available at https://youtu.be/TmqvjU6DQdY. This video provides information of interest to all students.
The Questionnaire should be completed by the student at the end of the lecture cycle of each course unit.
For students who have not previously taken the assessment, the ESSE3 IT system requires mandatory completion of the questionnaires when registering for the examination.
