Single course units

Those who are not enrolled in a course unit of the university, even if they already hold a higher education degree, may enroll in single course units and take the related examinations, receiving regular attestation, for a maximum number of 30 credits (without prejudice to the possibility, by the Competent Course Councils, to increase the above-mentioned number of credits for justified educational needs), upon payment of fees according to the following table:

• fee for single course unit inscription € 361

The inscription is valid for one academic year only.

All amounts paid for inscription to individual course units are not refundable.

After choosing the teachings, after applying to the appropriate Course Council, you must contact the student registry office to which the chosen teachings refer. The secretariat will invoice the virtual stamp duty required for submission of the application. Once the payment of the stamp has been made, the following documentation must be submitted to the student registry office:

• application for inscription (Form A/41) and authorization.
• any self-certification of the title held (you can use the Form A/3)
• copy of a valid ID
• copy of tax identification number

The student registry office, based on the number of teachings included in the application and authorized by the Course Council, will invoice the tuition fees. Finally, by any due dates, the student must forward to the student registry office the receipt of the payment of the tuition fees.

For the 2024/2025 academic year, students who do not meet the curricular requirements for enrolment in second-cycle degree courses will be able to access the "Curricular Requirements Recovery" pathway (course type "Single Course") free of charge, provided that they have pre-registered for the second-cycle degree course of interest and paid only the regional fee and virtual stamp.

It is emphasized that:

• through access to the "Recovery of Curricular Requirements" pathway, a maximum of 30 CFUs can be earned;
• the aforementioned pathway does not entitle the issuance of certifications related to the passing of single course units, since they are exclusively preparatory activities for access to the second-cycle degree course
• the acquisition of credits must take place by March 31;
• these credits will not be counted for benefits of the right to education and the calculation of the university contribution.

From the 2024/2025 academic year, the University has decided to offer a free programme to help students meet the necessary academic requirements for those wishing to enrol on one of our Master’s degree programmes but who need to obtain up to 30 ECTS credits to do so.

You can access for free the path "Recovery curricular requirements" if you have applied for a master’s degree programme with open access and a requirements check, and your status is ‘eligible with requirements to be met’ once you have obtained your bachelor’s degree.

To enrol on the “Curricular Requirements Recovery” programme, you must pay only the regional fee and the virtual stamp duty (€156) and submit the duly completed Form A/21 to the Student Registry Office. Once you have completed the programme, you can use the self-declaration attached to the form – by uploading it directly to the requirements assessment application on Esse3 – Online Student Office – to self-certify to the Committee that you have completed the programme.

Please note that:

• the aforementioned programme does not entitle you to the issue of certificates relating to the successful completion of individual modules, as these are activities exclusively preparatory to admission to the Master’s degree programme;
• credits must be acquired by 31 March;
• these credits will not be counted towards study grant entitlements or the calculation of university fees.

The University of Parma, responding to the requirements prescribed by the new Teacher Recruitment System makes available, in a blended mode, 24 CFUs to be taken as single course units, in the anthropo-psycho-pedagogical field, for first-cycle degree courses or already graduated students. The University has provided a system of facilitations for the acquisition of these ECTS credits, up to total free of charge.
