We recommend that you start acquiring credits as early as the first year.

You can enter the codes for the other activities in your study plan either in the first, second or third year.

N.B.The other activities can be carried out at any time during the three years, but you can only request recognition if you have entered the corresponding code in your study plan. If you have not entered it, you can still carry out the activities, but you will have to wait until the following academic year, when you will enter the code for the educational activity in your plan, to apply for recognition.

Recognized activities

The course of study recognises CFUs for:

1. Internships and apprenticeships
. Only activities carried out at institutions, bodies, companies affiliated with UniGe are considered valid, subject to their relevance to the subject of the Course. CFUs will not be recognised for activities that do not correspond to the educational aims of the Course. 

.

N.B. CFUs will not be recognised for activities carried out autonomously and in places not designated for internships, where it is not possible to verify, on the basis of an attendance register, the actual number of hours dedicated to the assigned task.

.

For working students, it is possible to submit an internship project to be carried out in the workplace, outside working hours and only if it is relevant to the teaching of the Course, which will be recognised on the basis of the hours specified in the certificate.

.

In specific and justified cases, which the Board will examine on an individual basis, it may be possible to allow the acquisition of credits envisaged for the work placement through substitute activities, in relation to specific problems linked to disabilities or in the event of the need to prepare for entry into the world of work (e.g. due to the advanced age of the student requesting the work placement). The validity of substitute activities for the recognition of traineeship credits may also be recognised in the case of proven urgency to acquire credits for the completion of the training course.

2. Other knowledge useful for employment
. The following are considered valid for recognition:

    .
  • participation in the Erasmus or Cinda programme:
    • 1 CFU for recipients of a scholarship for one semester, with a minimum frequency abroad of 5 months
      • .
    • 2 CFU for recipients of a 9-month scholarship, with a minimum overseas attendance of 7 months
      • .
    • 3 CFU for recipients of a one-year scholarship, with a minimum of 10 months of attendance abroad
  • knowledge of modern foreign languages other than English, documented by internationally recognised certification (e.g. DELF, TestDAF, DELE, etc.), issued after passing an examination. You may obtain recognition up to a maximum of 3 CFU:
    • 1 CFU for level A
      • .
    • 2 CFU for level B
    • 3 CFU for level C
  • knowledge of the English language if documented by internationally recognised certification issued following the passing of an examination at a level equal to or higher than C1:
    • 1 CFU for C1 level
    • 2 CFU for C2
  • participation in teaching workshops organised as part of the degree course or relevant to the course's educational objectives (visit the Laboratories page of the CdS website);
  • participation in Summer Schools or training courses organised by universities or other scientific institutions, in Italy or abroad, provided that they are relevant to the themes of the degree course;
    • .
  • participation in conferences and seminars strictly pertinent to curricular training (up to a maximum of 2 CFU), provided that they are initiatives organised by the University or initiatives previously recognised by the degree course as valid for the acquisition of cfu or initiatives of particular scientific relevance in the judgement of the "Other credits" Commission (N. B.: 25 hours = 25 hours = 25 hours = 25 hours).N. B.: the ratio 25 hours = 1 cfu remains valid, on the basis of the hours of certified participation, even when other degree courses recognise and indicate a different hours/credits ratio for their students)
  • participation in excavation campaigns, archaeological reconnaissance campaigns and post-excavation laboratories (visit the archaeological excavation campaigns page and the laboratories page of the CSD website);
    • .
  • participation in study trips that have received prior recognition by the degree course;
  • the computer skills documented through the possession of the European ECDL/ICDL licence at the Basic level (1 CFU) or Full standard (2 CFU), or through the passing of an ad hoc test prepared by a university lecturer;
  • the civil service, only if the activities carried out are closely related to the themes of the degree course (e.g. cultural activities carried out in museums, libraries, archives).

    The Degree Course Council reserves the right to recognise, in particular cases, further certificates certifying other educational activities, provided that they are relevant to the educational pathway of the degree course.

    The certificates concerning excavation activities, participation in conferences, seminars, study trips, workshops not organised as part of the degree course, Summer Schools and training courses must indicate the number of hours of participation of the student.

    The Course Council of Studies reserves the right to recognise, in particular cases, further certificates certifying other training activities, provided that they are pertinent to the course of study.

    N.B.If you have chosen the curriculum in Historical-Artistic Heritage or in Archival and Book Heritage you can acquire CFUs for Additional knowledge useful for employment (code 73202) thanks to additional training and orientation placements closely related to the educational objectives of your degree programme.
