How the programme of study works
The list of course units in the programme of study represents all the training activities available for each of the years of the degree course and changes according to the year in which the student enrols. ‘Free-choice or restricted-choice' course units are optional learning activities that students may include in their programme of study according to the selection 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 learning objectives. In that case, the programme must be submitted to the Course Council for approval
Programme of study
PERIODO PRESENTAZIONE DEI PIANI DEGLI STUDI ON-LINE, A.A. 2021-22
ONLINE PROGRAMME OF STUDY SUBMISSION PERIOD, A.Y. 2021-22
Notice is hereby given that the period for the submission of online programmes of study, A.Y. 2021-22, is as follows: 15 November 2021/14 January 2022.
Subsequently, changes may be made to the curricula during the period: 07 March 2022/08 April 2022.
For information on how to submit programmes of study online, A.Y. 2021-22, go to the following link and consult point 1. Submission and approval of the programme of study: https://mc.unipr.it/it/didattica/calendario-lezioni-esamiesse3/esse3-pi…
The programme of study is the list of all the educational activities that the student will follow on their course and for which they must pass the relevant examinations in order to be admitted to the following years of the course, up to the final degree examination.
Activities may include lectures, internships, foreign language proficiency tests, final/project tests, workshops and others. These educational activities may be compulsory, envisaged as optional or autonomously chosen, subject to the constraints established by the classes of degree courses and teaching regulations.
Free-choice activities (ADEs) must be indicated each year on the online programme of study, by the submission deadline set each year by the University.
The submission of the online programme of study is therefore annual, compulsory and preparatory to subsequent career activities or acts (e.g. electronic student file, registration for examinations, recording of examination marks, student opinion survey). If the programme of studies is not submitted, the student will NOT be able to carry out career activities or acts.
The programme of study is specific to each matriculation cohort. The cohort is the group of students who enrolled on the first year of a degree course in a given academic year: for example, all students who enrolled on the first year in the A.Y. 2021-2022 are part of the 2021 cohort.
In the event that a student fails to gain access to the following year's course, they assume the status of repeating student and consequently join the cohort of students with whom they will repeat the year.
ENROLLMENT ON SINGLE COURSES
As decided by the Course Council in Physiotherapy, with reference to Art. 34 of the University Regulations, which contemplate the possibility of admission onto individual course units on a degree course and the possibility of also taking the examination (subject to payment of a financial contribution), for a maximum number of 30 ECTS credits in a single academic year, admission onto individual courses of the degree course in Physiotherapy is NOT granted to students who request it.
As decided by the Course Council in Physiotherapy, with reference to Art. 6 of Royal Decree no. 1269 of 1938, which provides that students enrolled on a given degree course may sit two exams, in addition to those envisaged on their own programme of study, relating to courses on another degree course, admission onto courses belonging to the degree course in Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics and to the Health Professions Degree Courses is NOT granted to students who request it.
This decision is aimed at not altering the number of attending students, which is planned by MIUR, in relation to the number of professors/instructors and the logistical aspects of the university site, in order to provide quality teaching.

Online programme of study
To submit your programme of study online, you need to access the ESSE3 system available on the following page:ESSE3 - Programmes of study
To access the ESSE3 system, you must use your University credentials (name.surname@studenti.unipr.it and the relative password) issued at the time of enrolment. Once you have entered your username and password, you must click on the programme of study entry.
During the compilation phase, it will be possible to make choices limited to the year of the course being attended and to make any changes to those made in previous years (e.g. second-year students will complete their programme of study for the second year and may change the choices made the previous year; new students, on the other hand, will make choices limited to the first year).
Completion of the programme of study is compulsory for ALL students, as it is preparatory to online registration for examinations: without a submitted programme, it will not be possible to register for examinations.
The submission of the online programme of study is therefore annual, compulsory and preparatory to subsequent career activities or acts (e.g. electronic student file, registration for examinations, recording of examination marks, student opinion survey).
More information on how to submit your programme of study online via ESSE3 can be found in the following document:
