Students cannot change their Bachelor program in the first year of the program.
Changes of program:
- are allowed only for Bachelor programs which have not a common foundation at the end of the first, second and third year of studies;
- between courses that have a common foundation, at the end of the second and third year of studies.
The year of admission to the new program is determined by the Program Director, who will take the student's academic curriculum into account.
To request a change of program, students must have previously enrolled in the original program for the upcoming academic year (in the first year of the program as a repeating student ("ripetente") or in years following the first).
When changing from one Bachelor program to another, the following applies:
- exams taken for courses in the original degree program that have the same title, code and credit point values as those in the new degree program are considered to be equal (same exams in common);
- exams are to be integrated if they are exams for courses belonging to the same subject group in both the original and new degree program. Courses may have significantly different course profiles but are worth the same credit point value, or the original program's courses may be worth less credit points than those of the new program. In this case the exam mark is based on a weighted average of the marks obtained in both degree programs;
- any exams included in the original degree program that are not included in the program structure of the new degree program are considered to be in excess. In this case, compulsory courses passed as part of the original degree program, not included in the study plan of the new degree program may be recognized as additional courses and also as elective courses upon approval from the Program Director of the new degree program.
In addition, students are considered to have attended the lessons for courses taken in the years before the change included in the program structure of the new degree program. Therefore students can register for the exams for the courses included in the program structure of the new degree program in the years before the change, starting from the first available exam session.
Please note that, if students opt to pass to the BIEMF program:
- students must have one of the language prerequisites which are recognized as valid to be enrolled in a Bachelor program taught in English.
- some certifications of level B2 may be recognized at a C1 higher level with a grade adaptation out of thirty as a consequence of that. Students who are interested in such validation must contact the Study Planning Office of the Academic Affairs Division to check the procedures.
