OVERVIEW

The seminars and initiatives that provide access to CFUs are educational activities that the Department of Political Science and   International Affairs offers as part of the "Other Activities" to be included  to the curriculum.

At the beginning of each academic year, the Department  publishes on its website a list of activities linked to  each seminar so that each student can choose  which seminar activities to include in their study plan for  a total of 3 CFUs. These 3 CFU can be  
achieved by combining seminars from the same discipline or from  different disciplines, at the student's discretion. In addition,  CFU-accessible seminars and initiatives may  also be chosen as "Student Choice Activities".
