    The Italian CFU system corresponds to the European Credit Transfer System (1 CFU = 1 ECTS). One Italian CFU is equivalent to a total of 25 hours of overall effort by the student, including self-study. The expected workload for the student in classroom depends on the type of teaching activity, as follows:
    1 CFU lecture/E-learning lecture = 7 hours
    1 CFU laboratory/practical class/field activity= 12 hours
    1 CFU traineeship/practical training = 25 hours
    1 CFU final examination = 25 hours
     

  • COURSES

    • Courses may consist of a single unit or several integrated units, even multidisciplinary and with multiple teachers. Each unit consists of lectures, usually combined with practical and/or field activities.
       
      Lectures are mainly on-campus, but some are delivered online (e-learning lecture) in agreement with the Courses Plan for the A.Y 2025-2026. Practical classes, lab and field activities are on-campus only.
      E-learning lectures are in videoconferencing, synchronously or asynchronously mode, and may include interactive activities (c.d. e-tivities), as stated in the University’s Students Regulations.

      Teachers may provide recordings of their classes at their discretion.
