Course Organisation/Structure

Course Council

This is the academic body that deals with decisions most closely related to the degree course, such as study plans, credit recognition, degree procedures, degree sessions and teaching calendars.

The Council is led by the Course Chairperson.

The main functions of the Council are specified in the Academic Regulations of the Degree Programme.

The Course Council is made up of teachers who have official teaching duties (full-time teachers, researchers and contract professors) and elected student representatives.

Student representatives on the Course Council

Student Representatives participate in the Degree Programme meetings with the task of:

• representing students' opinions on the progress of courses and contributing with the opinions, ideas and proposals collected
• communicating to the students, with the help of others, the decisions taken by the Degree Programme Board.

The main objective is to foster communication and help students in their study path, bringing attention to the problems that arise and, in collaboration with the Council, finding solutions.

Teaching Committee

This deals with: verification of incoming procedures, assistance in changing course, exam validations.

The Committee can also be consulted before enrolment: in this case it offers advice on the education paths that can be taken.

In the Forms section you can find the form for recognition of credits and transfer from other degree courses or universities to be sent with the documentation; subsequently, the Commission will contact you by email. You can consult these detailed instructions on completing the form.

Tutors

At the beginning of each academic year, each student is assigned a tutor teacher.

The tutors deal with:

• logistic and welcome assistance for freshers at the Department's offices
• consultation on individual courses, workshops and levelling courses
• assistance to students in itinere to manage the training course, interacting with student representatives
• collaboration for the management of timetables and workload during the semesters
• management of individual issues.

Course representative teachers

These are the teachers required by the Ministry for the didactic needs of each degree programme

Teaching requirements are controlled by ANVUR.
