Every year students acquire 60 credits (cfu), for a total of 180 cfu, by attending single-discipline or integrated courses, workshops, optional activities, apprenticeships, English and final test (degree thesis).
Courses are organized according to the timetable of classroom activities (lessons, seminars, exercises, practical tests) and autonomous learning, in such a way that students can pass their exam at the end of each course or workshop and, however, within the year where teaching is placed. Lessons take place from Monday to Thursday (22-25 hours per week) whereas Friday is dedicated to optional activities. Final synthesis workshops (sixth semester) allow students to choose the group of disciplines they consider closest to their own interests and to orient themselves towards any subsequent study (bachelor’s degree or first level master).
