Course units and programme of study

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 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 learning objectives. In that case, the programme must be submitted to the Course Council for approval.

Year-3 students must pay close attention to their choice in the final year.
Students NOT COMPLETING THE COURSE WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED TIME, if they wish to change a free-choice activity, must enrol in the 3rd year as a REPEATING STUDENT.

This means that:

• the repeating student must wait until the first useful session of the academic year (July) in order to graduate;
• as in other years, before taking examinations for new course units, students must acquire attendance (i.e. wait until the end of the semester of the course to be able to take the examination);
• students will be enrolled in the current system for year-3 students. Therefore, the student will have to follow a new system, with the obligation to take core examinations not provided for in their original system.               

In order to facilitate third-year students, an additional period in which it is possible to modify choices and/or the internship (in May) has been introduced.
 
STUDENTS NOT COMPLETING THE COURSE WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED TIME may NOT fill in the programme of study online.
