Curriculum choice and modification, first year courses - II semester: M-LM, ACME-LM, EMIT-LM, DES-LM/ESS-LM
From 7 January - 1 February 2010, via Punto Blu, students enrolled in some Master of Science programs must choose the curriculum or courses chosen by the students of the II semester, first year, for each Master of Science program following the indications below:
Students enrolled in the Master of Science in Management (M) choose between the two curricula in which the course is divided:
Economia e management delle amministrazioni pubbliche e delle istituzioni internazionali [Economics and Management of Public Administration and International Institutions] (CLAPI-LS)

In addition, students enrolled in the Master of Science in Giurisprudenza [Law] (CLG-LS) may include an elective course or a second foreign language to their study plan instead of "seminars" (see "Educational activities in lieu of seminars for students enrolled in the Master of Science in Giurisprudenza [Law] (CLG-LS)").

Choice of electives
When enrolling in the second year of studies (3 August - 4 September 2009) students must choose their major and both I and II semester electives to be included in the study plan specifying the language of instruction if requested. DES-LS/ESS-LS students are reminded that in order to allow them to attend lessons, if they make any change to their first year study plan during 3 August - 4 September 2009 the new elective courses are positioned in their second year study plan. For this reason exams can be taken after the end of the semester in which second year courses are held.

Disqualification
After eight academic years following the end of the standard duration of the program, starting from the first initial enrolment in the university system,the student academic career is subject to a specific evaluation. If positive it will be defined the new maximum deadline, usually corresponding to the standard duration of the program, for completing all the educational activities. The maximum number of enrolments as "fuori corso"and as "ripetente"does not take into account periods of temporary interruption requested according to D.P.C.M. (Ministerial Decree) 09/04/2001 which is described in "Suspension, temporary interruption and resumption of University studies". Students who have been disqualified from their Degree Program can obtain certifications attesting to their university career and the number of credit points previously earned. If students should eventually resume their studies, the credit points previously earned will be evaluated to determine if they are still valid. Disqualification does not apply to those students who have passed all exams and only miss the final degree exam. Last change 27/07/2009 12:30 |
