TAF - Integrated 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 number of credits required is at least 300 CFU.

The educational activities included are as follows:

• TAF A: Core foundational activities
• TAF B: Specialist educational activities
• TAF C: Related and supplementary educational activities
• TAF D: Elective activities chosen by the student, provided they align with the educational objectives
• TAF E: Activities related to:
  • the final assessment
  • verification of proficiency in at least one foreign language
• TAF F: Additional educational activities aimed at enhancing language skills, IT and telematics skills, interpersonal skills, and other competencies useful for entering the job market, as well as internships with external organisations

The Study Plan specific to each cohort, which includes the list of courses and other educational activities, is attached to the Teaching Regulations and can be accessed on the Study Plan page. Any prerequisites are outlined in the study plan for each cohort.

Courses under TAF A, B, and C may be mandatory or optional. Optional courses (if available) must be specified when completing the study plan.  
Type F activities vary and may include internships, placements, apprenticeships, and other recognised educational activities, provided that appropriate documentation is submitted. Please refer to the dedicated pages for further information.

In addition to these educational activities, students may include elective courses (TAF D) in their Study Plan, allowing them to define an academic path based on personal interests and future career plans.

Since all elective courses are activated annually, students are advised to check each year to confirm that their desired courses are available. Courses added in future years that are subsequently not activated will need to be replaced by submitting a modification to the Study Plan.

Please note that while schedules for elective courses offered by the Study Programme are optimised to avoid overlap with mandatory courses, compatibility with the schedules of courses from other programmes cannot be guaranteed. Students should consult the relevant timetables when considering courses outside their own programme.

Submit your Study Plan according to the instructions in the specific page, specifying the optional and elective courses of your choice.

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 other Study Programmes within the University, as long as they are consistent with the student’s educational pathway

You can choose your elective courses on Esse3. These courses are automatically approved and do not require approval from the Course of Study.
