Study plan

What is the study plan

The study plan is the set of all the examinations you need to take in order to graduate.

Your plan includes educational activities, including:

  • teaching
  • laboratories
  • other activities
  • curricular internships

The sum of mandatory and optional activities constitutes your study plan.

Consult the Study Manifesto, which you can find on the course homepage in the Information box under Documents or search for it in the list Study Manifestos

All students are required to complete their study plan.
Failure to submit an annual study plan will prevent you from registering for exams in the current academic year.
If you are duly enrolled and have paid your fees, you can submit your study plan, which must be completed online via the online student services, using your login details.

What study plan do you need to fill out?

The standard study plan is the plan set out in the Study Manifesto for your degree programme.


You do not need to submit it if you wish to enrol on a part-time basis or if you have obtained a decision recognising exams taken as part of a previous degree programme.

N.B. Once you have completed the form, and selected your elective modules where applicable, simply click the ‘Confirm’ button and check that everything is correct.
Please remember that the Study Plan Status must be “complete”, otherwise it will be marked as incomplete.

The individual study plan must be completed only in certain cases. You must submit an
individual study plan if:

  • you intend to enrol as a part-time student
    • 1st category – up to 15 credits
    • Category 2 – up to 30 credits
  • you have had exams taken during a previous course of study recognised following
    a transfer from another degree programme, a transfer from another campus or an assessment of
    your previous academic record

Individual study plans that do not comply with the recommended study programmes are submitted for assessment by the Study Plan Committee and for approval by the Joint Council for Master’s Degree Programmes, to ensure a coherent academic pathway in terms of the sequence of learning.

N.B. Please remember to complete the procedure by saving your individual study plan request. Requests left as drafts will not be considered.

Draw up the study plan

Automatic extensions

The deadline for completing the study plan is automatically extended by 15 days in the following cases:

  • Students with outstanding enrolment fees: from the date of payment of the enrolment fee;
  • Students who have enrolled late on Master’s degree programmes: from the date on which enrolment is finalised;
  • Students who pass TE.L.E.MA.CO. in the third or fourth session: from the date the results are imported, which normally takes place the day after the exam.

Optional educational activities

Choice-based educational activities will be activatedstarting in the 3rd year and will include all disciplines included in the Manifesto educational offerings. These disciplines may also come from other courses in the School of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, from other UniGe Schools or even from another university, as long as they are considered consistent with the educational project by the Course Council.
All elective educational activities provide for a final examination, expressed by a grade in thirtieths, in order to achieve the required CFUs.

Full-time and part-time

You can enroll in UniGe full-time or part-time. Your choice is valid for the entire academic year and can be changed in subsequent years.

The full-time commitment provides at least 31 CFUs for educational activities, in accordance with the rules defined by the Didactic Regulations. The limit of CFUs that you can include in your study plan is 75 and the total formative period must not be less than 5 years.

If you enroll in part-time you must instead submit your study plan with CFUs of 30 or less.

Compulsory attendance

You have the right and duty to attend the scheduled didactic activity of your course whether you are enrolled full-time or part-time.

For those courses that involve the performance of institutional laboratory exercises, the certificate of attendance, which is a necessary condition for admission to the examination, is obtained by attending at least 80% of the exercises.
N.B. Non-attendance will result in your enrollment in the following teaching year as a "repeater" and will result in the inability to enter educational activities of subsequent course years.

For other teachings, class attendance is strongly recommended and verification of attendance is at the discretion of the lecturers.
