Type D and Type F activities
The didactic plans of each course of study provide for the obligation to obtain a certain number of credits through optional activities (also called 'type D and F').
In addition to teaching provided for in the didactic plans of other courses and language or IT certifications as specified in the regulations of each course, these activities may also consist of extracurricular initiatives of various contents, such as, for example, participation in a seminar or a series of seminars, attendance at teaching workshops, carrying out project work, additional internships, etc.
As with any other elective activity, these must be consistent with knowledge and skills already acquired by the student.
Those listed on this page are the extracurricular initiatives that the Teaching Commission has approved and, therefore, allow those who take part in them to acquire the specified credits, subject to the conditions set out on the detail pages of each initiative.
In this regard, please note that:
- all these initiatives require, for the acquisition of the relative CFUs, the passing of a test to verify the skills acquired, following the indications contained in the 'Examination methods' section of the individual activity
- the student must include the chosen activity in his or her study plan and enrol in the roll specifically created for the test, the date of which is set by the teacher of reference and published in the 'Examination methods' section of the individual activity.

Graduation
The final exam consists of a paper in written form of at least 80 pages, exploring a topic of the student's choice relating to one of the subjects in the student's syllabus. The topic and title of the paper must be selected in agreement with a university lecturer from one of the SSDs included in the student's syllabus. The work must be developed under the guidance of the lecturer. The thesis is the subject of an oral presentation and discussion in front of a Degree Committee on one of the dates established explicitly in the calendar of teaching activities. In agreement with the Supervisor, the thesis may be written, and the discussion may take place in English.
Internships
The curriculum of the three-year degree courses (CdL) and master's degree courses (CdLM) in the economics area includes an internship as a compulsory training activity. Indeed, the internship is considered an appropriate tool for acquiring professional skills and abilities and for facilitating the choice of a future professional outlet that aligns with one's expectations, aptitudes, and aspirations. The student can acquire further competencies and interpersonal skills through practical experience in a work environment.
