How the programme of study works

The list of courses in the programme of study represents the set of training activities that can be envisaged for each of the years of which the course of study consists and changes according to the year in which the student enrols. Free or restricted-choice subjects are optional learning activities that students may include in their programme of study according to the choice criteria specified on this page; the remaining subjects are compulsory for all students.
The programme of study must be submitted online by the student for each year using the ESSE3 system (see dedicated section).
Students are allowed to submit their own programme of study with options other than those presented on this page (and available in ESSE3), as long as it is consistent with achieving the course's educational objectives. In that case, the programme must be submitted to the Course Council for approval.

Attendance of classes and tutorials

 

Laboratory exercises are provided for 1st year students in Pharmacology and Basics of Applied Nutrition and Assessment of Nutrition Status.
Attendance at laboratory exercises is compulsory.
Pharmacology tutorials will take place entirely during the month of January according to a rotation schedule that will be drawn up after the start of classes.
The Basics of Applied Nutrition and Assessment of Nutrition Status exercises will take place in semester 2, according to a rota schedule to be drawn up at the beginning of semester 2.
Attendance of classes is not compulsory.

Propaedeuticities

For students enrolling in the a.y. 2024-2025:


The examination of "Biochemistry and metabolism of nutrients" 6 ECTS credits - BIO/10 - 1st SEMESTER

is preparatory

to the examination of "Biochemistry and pathology of nutrition" - 6 ECTS credits - 2nd SEMESTER.

For this reason, it will be necessary to take the 'Biochemistry and Nutrient Metabolism' exam before registering for the 'Biochemistry and Pathology of Nutrition' exam.

- Pharmacology and Toxicology

- Human Nutrition

These course units include mandatory laboratory activities that take place over numerous shifts and for this reason it is not possible to accommodate a number of students higher than that fixed for students of Human Nutrition Sciences.
