Lingua italiana per stranieri(3) – 3 CFU (Info)(course web site)
Legend:
– “Master of Science” is also called “Second Cycle Degree” (in Italian: Laurea Magistrale). More info;
– CFU = Number of ECTF credits (in Italian: Crediti formativi universitari). More Info;
– SSD = Course category (in Italian: Settore scientifico disciplinare). More info;
– Courses in italics are taught in Italian.
Instructions: Your study plan must amount to >=120 CFU over the 2 years. To shape up your study plan, you must pick:
(1) two courses (>=12 CFU) from menu “Elective Complementary Courses”;
(2) two courses (>=12 CFU) from menu “Elective Free Courses”;
(3) international students may also choose the Italian language course “Lingua italiana per stranieri”.
Notes:
– Any course offered by the University of Parma can in principle be selected as an “Elective Free Course”. The automated course-selection page on the student’s operational website (ESSE3) allows the student to select the two “Elective Free Courses” from a standard menu which includes the above “Elective Free Courses” menu, the “Elective Complementary Courses” menu, and the corresponding menus from the master programs (Lauree Magistrali) in Electronics Engineering and Computer Engineering. Courses in programs other than the above may be chosen by written request to the secretarial office, subject to approval by the Course Program Committee.
– the MS in Communication Engineering does not offer curricula internships. However, some instructors may offer the possibility to do the final thesis work in a company.
– the MS in Communication Engineering allows to obtain an Italian-French double degree within a Multilateral Cooperation Agreement between Italy and France.
