If you know you cannot devote yourself full-time to your studies, you can choose to enrol part-time, with a reduction in the amount of tuition fees, equal to the category of part-time you choose from:

• 1st category - up to 15 CFUs: pay a contribution equal to 25% of the amount due
• 2nd category - up to 30 credits: you pay a contribution equal to 50% of the amount due
.

To compile a part-time study plan, you must access the compilation of an individual plan. Each year, when compiling your study plan, you can change the category, or decide to go back to full-time.

This is the pathway comprising all the educational activities (lectures, workshops, etc.) that you have to undertake in order to obtain your degree. Some activities are compulsory, others must be chosen from several options, and others are free choice. The study plan must be completed each year. Filling in the study plan, within the set deadlines and correctly, is indispensable for you to be able to enrol and take your exams.

Study plans are filled out in October exclusively online from the Online Services for students.
