Insegnamenti e piano degli studi
The programme of study is the set of compulsory and elective courses 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 registering 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 study paths ('curriculum').
For a list of the courses that can be included in the programme of study, select the academic year of enrolment and, if available, the curriculum.

Presentation of the 2nd Year curricula
The course includes a first common year (based at the University of Parma) and a subsequent differentiation, in the second year, in three curricula (specialisations) dedicated respectively to:
1) mitigation / reduction of food risk through predictive methods and control of emerging risks, and minimization of contamination problems along the supply chain and the food production process (at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Piacenza in collaboration with the University of Parma);
2) risk management in production and processing companies, with particular reference to innovative methods and processes and safety assessment of end products (at Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna);
3) agro-food safety in primary production, with particular reference to the crop production sector (at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia).
Below the presentations of the three curricula.

How the programme of study works
The list of teachings in the study plan represents the set of educational activities that can be provided for each of the years of which the course of study consists and changes according to the year of the student's matriculation. The 'free or restricted choice' courses are optional educational activities that the student can include in the study plan according to the choice criteria specified on this page; the remaining courses are mandatory for all students.
The study plan must be submitted online by the student for each year of the course using the ESSE3 system (see dedicated section).
The student is allowed to submit his or her own study plan with choice options different from those presented on this page (and available in ESSE3), as long as it is consistent with the achievement of the course's educational objectives. In this case, the plan must be submitted to the Course Council for approval.
How to fill in the study plan
The submission of the study plan is mandatory for all students. The programme of study must be compiled online using the ESSE3 system. To access the ESSE3 system please use your University credentials (such as name.surname@studenti.unipr.it and relative password) issued at the time of enrollment.
The plan must be presented within the following time frame:

Part-time Students
A part-time student is a student enrolling in the course or in regular years of study who, for work, health or personal reasons, finds him/herself unable to devote him/herself to full-time studies.
Below are the regulations for the enrolment of part-time students and the programmes of study for part-time enrolled students in the academic year 2021-2022 and earlier years.
Students' Survey
For each course, the student must fill in on the online ESSE3 system the corresponding student survey form before being allowed to take the exam.
The student survey form can be filled in starting from the date when 2/3 of the course classed have been taught. Please fill in early! The earlier, the better, as you will have fresh in your memory the pros and cons of the course. Your evaluations and suggestions will be processed in an anonymous aggregated way and will be published on the University website according to our Quality Assurance Policy. Your opinion counts and helps us make a better University!
