A list of taught courses on offer can be found through the course catalogue. Select the degree course to which the taught course of interest belongs and then “study programmes”.  

Enrolment in individual courses is allowed up to a maximum of 36 (ECTS/CFU) credits per academic year.
If the chosen course is divided into multiple ‘educational units’ (modules), you must take the full course.

You can ask for the recognition of credits obtained in individual taught courses when you enrol in another degree course, but they cannot be used for advanced standing, i.e. direct enrolment to subsequent years.  Taking an individual taught course may also help you build your study programme, for example, if you want to enrol in a master's degree.

You can enrol in individual taught courses if you meet the following requirements:

  • you already graduated
  • you are enrolled in another university
  • if you have a high school qualification that is eligible for admission to university courses
