- TAF - Master's Degree
The Study Plan is based on six types of educational activities (TAF), each associated with a specific number of credits (CFU).
The total credits required to complete the programme is at least 120 CFU.
The educational activities in the programme include:
- TAF B: Specialist educational activities
- TAF C: Related and supplementary educational activities
- TAF D: Activities independently chosen by the student, provided they align with the overall educational objectives
- TAF E: Activities related to the final assessment
- TAF F: Vocational and laboratory-based learning activities
- TAF S: Practical Evaluative Internship (Tirocinio Pratico Valutativo - TPV)
The Study Plan for your cohort, listing courses and other educational activities, is attached to the Teaching Regulations and can be viewed on the Study Plan page. Any prerequisites are specified in each cohort's study plan.
Courses under TAF B and C may be mandatory or optional. Optional courses (if available) must be indicated when completing the study plan.
TAF F activities may be carried out through internal activities like collaborating in laboratory work or participating in experiments and seminars organised by the Degree Programme.
TAF S activities correspond to the practical evaluative internship (TPV). Please refer to the dedicated page for further information.
In addition to these educational activities, students may add elective courses (TAF D) to their Study Plan to create a personalised academic path based on personal interests and future career goals.
All elective courses are activated on a yearly basis, so students are advised to check annually that their chosen courses are available. Courses included in future years of study that are subsequently not offered will need to be replaced by submitting a modification to the Study Plan.
Please note that while elective courses offered by the Programme are scheduled to avoid overlaps with mandatory courses, compatibility with the schedules of courses from other study programmes cannot be guaranteed. Students should check the relevant timetables if they are considering courses outside their programme.
Submit your Study Plan according to the procedures outlined on the dedicated pages, indicating the optional and elective courses of your choice.
The programme includes a set of compulsory learning activities shared by all students, as well as additional activities divided into four optional application areas. You will be required to choose two application areas from the four available:
- Community and wellbeing
- Work and organisations
- Ergonomics and technologies
- People, animals, environments and society
Additional information on elective courses
The elective courses (TAF D) that can be included in your Study Plan include:
- courses activated annually and specifically developed for the educational objectives of the Study Programme
- courses from the application areas that you have not chosen
- courses from other Study Programmes within the University, as long as they are consistent with the student’s educational pathway
In order to take elective exams in Bachelor's and Master's degree courses with a fixed number of intake, you must request authorisation by sending an email to the teaching office of the Department offering the course.
To obtain the Europsy certification, please note that elective courses must belong to the M-PSI subject areas.
