The First-cycle Degree Course in Computer Science lasts 3 years divided into 6 semesters and includes tuition for a total number of 180 ECTS credits (University Educational Credits).

It is open access.  The admission qualification is that provided for by law.

It does not therefore provide for an admission test but, under current legislation, a non-selective test to check entry preparation is mandatory, the outcome of which does not in any way constrain the possibility of enrolment.

The course of study provides a single pathway (curricula) that includes a large proportion of IT-specific teaching. There are also 12 ECTS credits free-choice courses.

At the end of the course of study, there is an internship and a final examination.

The degree course in Mathematics is open access. It does not therefore provide for an admission test but, under current legislation, a non-selective test to check entry preparation is compulsory, the outcome of which does not in any way bind the possibility of enrolment.

The Degree Course in Mathematics aims to provide a solid grounding in the mathematical disciplines, enabling the student to become acquainted with the modern formulation and various aspects of the subject, both general and methodological as well as applied. The preparation in mathematical subjects is complemented by a good modelling-application background that emphasises the algorithmic and computational aspects of mathematics. The fundamental tool for the development of the student's knowledge and skills is classroom lectures combined with practice and/or laboratory sessions.

The Course of Study scheme does not provide for differentiated courses (curricula). In the first two years of the degree course, all subjects are included that provide the student with the basics of mathematics, physics and computer science. More advanced courses with a purely mathematical character are included in the third year.

The three-year degree graduate in Mathematics will then be able to continue his or her studies, with a good capacity for autonomy, in a Second-Cycle Degree Course in the Mathematics class, and possibly also in related scientific areas or enter the world of work, in various fields, making the most of his or her mental flexibility acquired during his or her studies.

The first-cycle degree course in Physics, which lasts three years, is open-access, although it provides for a non-selective knowledge test. 
The course of study, which comprises a single curriculum, is divided into:
- a two-year period in which basic subjects including classical physics, mathematics, computer science and chemistry are covered
- a third introductory year in modern physics, which includes, among other things, a number of electives in various areas such as theoretical physics, the physics of matter, biophysics and physical technologies. Students have the possibility to create different, fully customisable learning paths.
Students enrolled in the third year may request to replace a course unit of their choice with an internship in private companies or public facilities with which they have an agreement.

Thanks to extensive laboratory teaching, they also develop operational skills that enable them to use scientific instrumentation and computer techniques, and to acquire and analyse data.

The Second-cycle Degree Course in Computer Science has a duration of 2 years divided into 4 semesters and includes courses with a total number of 120 ECTS credits (University Educational Credits).

It is open access.  

It therefore does not provide for an admission test.

The Second-cycle degree course in Computer Science allows specialisation in current technical and professional skills that are particularly attractive in the world of work, in the ICT and applications sectors. Particular emphasis is placed on the areas of Artificial Intelligence (Automatic Reasoning) and Reliable and Secure Software.

The course of study provides a single pathway (curricula) that includes a large proportion of IT-specific teaching. There are also 12 ECTS credits free-choice courses.

At the end of the course of study, there is an internship and a final examination.

The second-cycle degree course in Mathematics has no entrance test. 

The second-cycle degree course in Mathematics is aimed at all students interested in Mathematics and its applications, and aims both to provide excellent general knowledge of the mathematical disciplines and a very high and specialised scientific qualification, which can be directed towards fundamental research, popularization, teaching, or the use of mathematical models and modern calculation tools.

The course outline provides for two programmes of study: Teaching Programme (for students interested in teaching Mathematics) and General Programme.

The Second-cycle Degree Course in Physics provides students with a path along the main research fields in Physics: the area covered are the Physics of Fundamental Interactions, Statistical Physics, Physics of Condensed Matter and Biophysics, ther theoretical cornerstones and the most advanced experimental and ICT-assisted techniques.
In the educational path of this degree course, students can choose among several courses. This allows for significant flexibility of educational pathways towards the students’ cultural needs, and it encourages a deep knowledge of advanced research themes, balancing theory and experimental techniques. Choice-based teaching is divided into three pathways: Theoretical Physics, Biophysics and Soft Matter Physics, Physics of Matter and Functional Materials.

Theses can be carried out either in the University of Parma facilities or in private companies or affiliated facilities. In this case, an internship will be activated, which is also an important training and orientation experience, to bring the students closer to the world of work.
