Enrolment in single courses for the master’s degrees allows you to attend lessons and sit exams for one or more courses provided by the bachelor's or master's degrees and single-cycle degree courses.

Single courses are useful for those who:

  • have to integrate missing requirements for admission to a master’s degree course, up to a maximum of 60 credits;
  • wish to take exams of the master’s degree course in which they will enrol the following academic year, up to a maximum of 36 credits. Some courses of study, however, give a lower number of credits or impose other restrictions in this case: check all the restrictions in the ‘Limitations’ paragraph.
