Notes to the Study Plan

To obtain the Master's degree, 120 university credits (CFU) must be acquired over the two years.

Students who have already taken some exams in the three-year degree in Agricultural Science and Technology relating to courses or parts of teaching included in the study plan of the graduate degree, will have to modify the study plan after evaluation by the Teaching Commission.

As part of the university credits, up to a maximum of 6 (six) credits chosen by the student, it is possible to recognize internship activities and other non-university work and/or training experiences, subject to agreement with the degree course coordinator, consistent with the chosen university path.
