Course units and programme of study

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 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 Course Council for approval.

A student who, for work, health or personal reasons, is unable to devote himself/herself to full-time studies may enroll in regular years of the Courses of Study as a PART-TIME STUDENT.

These are courses that students can freely choose to take the 6 ECTS credits in TAF D (free credits). The choice can be made between several types:

1. training activities offered by the degree course: students identify a Course unit and may include it in their Programme of Study without requesting any authorisation. The list of course units is published each year in the Course Catalogue.
2. cross-curricular activities: students may freely choose one or more of these courses, either as curricular credits (TAF D elective courses) or as supernumerary credits;
3. educational activities offered by other degree courses of the University: students may freely choose activities or lectures offered by other Departments of the University, not less than 6 ECTS credits, and may include them in their Programme of Study without requesting any authorisation;
4. Free participation activities: these are sports, cultural and social credits. No approval is required for these activities, but students are invited to read the Regulation for "free participation activities" before making their choice;
5. National Civil Service: Students who have performed National Civil Service and expressly request it at commissionedidatticaserviziosociale@unipr.it 6 ECTS credits may be recognised as an activity chosen by the student.

The student may also obtain recognition of other previous training activities, previously authorised by the Teaching Commission, that he/she considers suitable for completing his/her training by submitting a request to the Teaching Commission using the e-mail address commissionedidatticaserviziosociale@unipr.it

Students wishing to address the Teaching Commission are invited to submit their request by taking into account the "DIDACTIC COMMISSION MEETING CALENDAR". 

NB If, following the closure of the compilation of the Programme of Study, the student needs to change his or her choice and cannot wait for the reopening of the Programme of Study, he or she must submit a request for approval to the Teaching Commission (commissionedidatticaserviziosociale@unipr.it) and obtain authorisation.

Students outside prescribed term for course completion, if they wish to change to an activity of their choice, will have to enrol in the 2nd year as REPEATING students.

This means that:

•  the repeating student will have to wait until the first useful session of the academic year (July) in order to graduate;
•  as in other years, before taking the examination of new courses, the student must acquire attendance (i.e. wait until the end of the semester of the course in order to take the examination);
•  the student will be enrolled in the current system for second-year students. Thus, the student will have to follow a new order, with the obligation to take core examinations not provided for in their original order.

STUDENTS OUTSIDE PRESCRIBED TERM FOR COURSE COMPLETION Students outside prescribed term for course completion may NOT complete the Programme of Study online.

See rule described in the notice above.

STUDENTS UNDER CONDITION Students enrolled under condition may NOT submit their Programme of Study either online or on paper.

STUDENTS ENROLLED IN A DEGREE COURSE CLOSED TO NEW CANDIDATES Students enrolled in a DEGREE COURSE CLOSED TO NEW CANDIDATES DO NOT have to submit a Programme of Study.
