Study Plan

What is the study plan A student's study plan is the list of the courses for which the student has to pass the exam in order to graduate. The MSc in Economics and Development allows some freedom in the choice of courses, hence each student needs to submit a study plan to specify their choice of courses.

Study plan and curricula The documents below specify, for each curriculum, the mandatory courses, that is the courses which must be included in each study plan, and the courses for which a choice by the student is required. These documents contain links to the instructors' webpages, from which the syllabus of each course (called "insegnamento" in Italian) held by the instructor can be reached. The syllabi should provide useful information to choose non-mandatory courses.

When the study plan can be submitted In a.y. 2024-25 there will be an autumn session (Oct. 26 to Nov. 21, 2024) and a spring session (Mar. 26 to Apr. 21, 2025) to submit the study plan. Each first-year student should submit their study plan in the autumn session, which simplifies registering to take exams in the winter exam session. A first-year student missing the autumn session may submit a study plan in the spring session (but also a study plan submitted in the autumn session can be modified in the spring session). In the same two sessions, autumn and spring, each second-year (and beyond) student can submit a new study plan in order to modify their previous study plan.

Guidelines This document provides guidelines about submitting the study plan; in particular, footnote 3 in the document is about how to insert an internship in the study plan. The submitted study plan will be examined and approved, possibly after some modifications, by the professors of the MSc in charge of study plans: see footnote 2 of the document of guidelines. The approval only pertains to the choice of optional courses, which need to be consistent with the topics of the MSc in Economics and Development. The three study plan documents above in this page provide each a list of courses which satisfy this condition.

Additional Information The pages below provide additional information about study plans, including the study plan for each a.y. prior to 2024-25.
