As a UNIFI student, you need to compile and submit a Study Plan (Piano di Studi) in which you specify which elective courses you will take. Study Plans are entered and modified online using the SOL portal during a specific period of each academic year, using your usual UNIFI web credentials.

Remember that a study plan may be modified at the beginning of the II year and, in some specific case, a few months before graduation. 

The subjects of each course (syllabus) can be checked here; after entering the name of the course you will be able to access the English language pages of the syllabus.

Find below a list of the baseline Study Plan of the course, but please refer to the syllabus link for checking the programs for the current Academic Year.
