Assessment of knowledge of a European Union language
Final examination

Admission to the final exam is subject to the acquisition of a certain number of credits (CFU) and the preparation of a thesis paper.

Additional learning requirements (OFA)

Admission to Bachelor's and single-cycle Master's degree programmes is subject to an assessment of the student's educational background. Should the assessment reveal any gaps, the student will be assigned additional learning requirements (OFA), to be met through additional activities such as courses and seminars as set out in the call for applications or on the website for each study programme.

Exams and reporting
Exam registration

Registrations for exam sessions start one month before the date set, not including Saturdays, Sundays and any holidays. The deadline for registrations is three days before the exam, not including Saturdays, Sundays and any holidays. 

Students can register for the exams through Unimia.

 

Workshops

During their career, students are required to earn credits through theme workshops held by experts in the field.
Each student can choose workshops from among those listed each year on their programme website.

Thanks to direct interaction with the instructor and a more dynamic approach to the subject, workshops help students strengthen basic skills and learn the fundamentals of professional methods and practices.
Go to study programme websites to get all the information.

International mobility

The Erasmus+ programme to which EU and non-EU countries adhere, offers those students who meet course requirements and are in possession of certified language skills the possibility of carrying out periods of study ranging from 3 to 12 months at many European universities. For students of degree programmes in specific disciplinary areas, the Humanities Faculty has established agreements with partner universities determining which reference teachers will assist them during their training experience abroad.
