Other activities

What are

Your course of study includes the obligation to acquire CFUs by carrying outOther Activities that are closely related to your university course and useful for your entry into the world of work.

Each CFU corresponds to a commitment of 30 hours (study/work).

Certified but excess hours of commitment cannot be counted in place of the basic, characterizing, related/integrative or elective educational activities provided by your Course's regulations.

In your study plan you have available, depending on the curriculum you choose, from 9 to 12 CFUs for other activities, of which 6 CFUs are for computer skills.

You may include in your study plan, as 'other activities', additional language knowledge if you pass an examination of an extra foreign language taught in the Department, besides Language A and B in the standard study plan.

You must enter the "Third language" teaching in the syllabus with the relevant code for 6 CFU (e.g. Arabic Language I code 55868, 6 CFU). Under no circumstances can the third foreign language included in the study plan be validated in accordance with the procedures laid down for "other external activities" (see below).

If you wish to allocate the "other" credits to the third language, we advise you to contact the Commission of Study Plans, which will help you assess how to do this.
