Study Plan
The Study Plan (Piano di studio) is the list of all the activities (exams, internships, labs etc.) you must carry out in order to earn the credits (CFU/ECTS) required to graduate.
The Study Plan can be modified throughout the year (in specific timeframes), until you register for graduation.
Filling in your Study Plan is compulsory. You must fill it out in accordance with the Manifesto degli Studi of your degree programme, i.e. a list of all the course units on offer for your degree programme, and the rules related to your enrolment year.
Download the Study Plan Guidelines for more information on study plans.
For students enrolled in their second year, kindly find a list of courses you may want to pick as "free choice courses", that are coherent with the Quantitative and Computational Biosciences programme and that will be considered as AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED:
MODELS IN GENETIC DISEASE RESEARCH SCP8085071 LM in Molecular Biology
CODING IN CHEMISTRY SCQ5110542 LM in Chemistry
MODERN COMPUTING FOR PHYSICS SCQ3104440 LM in Physics of DAta
MOLECULAR ANTHROPOLOGY SCQ2101381 LM in Molecular Biology
LAW AND DATA SCP7079399 LM in Data Science
HUMAN NUTRITION: SUSTAINABILITY AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE AVQ1094707 LM in Food, Nutrition and Health
COMPUTATIONAL THINKING SUQ0090379 LM in Communication strategies
DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT MEP5070482 LM in Pharmaceutical Biotechnologies
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - COMPUTER SCIENCE - 6 - SCQ0093639
BIOINFORMATICS - COMPUTER SCIENCE - 6 - SCP7079405
DEEP LEARNING - COMPUTER SCIENCE - 6 - SCP9087561
MACHINE LEARNING FOR HUMAN DATA - DATA SCIENCE - 6 - SCQ4106915
Otherwise, you can select your free-choice courses from the entire University offer, provided they are coherent with your study path. Check here a non-exhaustive lists of courses, with particular emphasis on those taught during the first semester.
Please note that free-choice courses:
• must belong to a Master's Degree programme
• may require mandatory attendance — students must check the specific attendance requirements for each course and make sure they do not overlap.
How to graduate
Applying for graduation
The undergraduate student must complete the on-line Graduation Application (via the Uniweb system), which involves the student entering the title of the thesis and its subsequent approval by the lecturer by computer only.
The complete online graduation application procedure can be found by following the path: www.unipd.it - “Studentesse e Studenti” (Students) - “Gestione carriera studenti” (Student career management) - “Laurearsi” (Graduation) - “Domanda di laurea” (Graduation Application).
Students are also required to check the deadlines for submitting their final dissertation to the Biology Department’s Academic Office for the period in which they intend to graduate, as indicated in the graduation notices for each period (see below: "Graduation sessions").
