Seminars and initiatives that allow access to CFUs are educational activities that the Department of Political and International Sciences offers as part of the "Other Activities" to be included in the study plan. At the beginning of each academic year, the Department publishes a list of activities related to each seminar on its website in order to allow each student to choose which seminar activities to include in their study plan for a total of 3 ECTS. These 3 credits can be achieved by combining seminars from the same discipline or from different disciplines, at the complete discretion of the student. In addition, seminars and initiatives that allow access to CFUs can also be chosen as "Activities chosen by the student". Seminars and initiatives of Law and Religions deepen specialized topics regarding the relationship between state rights and religious rights. The list of seminars and initiatives that allow access to CFUs of Law and Religions scheduled for this academic year is available on the Department's website.
