A study plan is the list of all academic activities (courses, labs, internship, etc.) that are required to achieve your degree.
You need to achieve at least a total of 120 CFUs for a master’s degree.
Courses and academic activities in Italy are classified in the following way (TAF classification):
- A and B: Basic and core educational activities
- C: Educational activities in elective or integrative disciplines
- D: free educational activities
- E: final exam
- F: extra activities, typically these credits are related to the internship
When submitting your study plan you will have the opportunity to choose some courses of type C and D, as long as you are respecting the required number of credits in each field.
The specifics for each curriculum can be found here for first year students.
The courses you can select can be found in the documents linked above.
Please note that you have to consult the documents referring to your year of enrolment.
After submitting your study plan online, you will still be able to modify it later during the academic year.
