List of subjects

Please note that although there are no formal prerequisites for the subjects in this program, the following course sequences are strongly recommended:

Complete Introduction to "Private Law" before taking "Business Law, Innovation and Sustainability" and "Intellectual Property Law".
Complete "Analytic Tools for Social Challenges" before taking "Quantitative Risk Assessment Tools for Predicting Future Challenges".

Additionally, note that courses and credits under "Other Activities", while scheduled for the third year, may be taken at any point in your study plan. Specifically, students starting a second European language from scratch are encouraged to plan ahead, ensuring enough time to reach the B2 level.

Regarding free choice credits (or electives), students can select any of the elective courses from the first and second years that were not previously chosen, as well as any other course taught in English across UNIFI, provided it is consistent with their study plan.
