Courses, credits, attendance
The study program consists of various educational activities (also called courses) such as lectures, seminars, labs, internships, projects, or thesis work, taught by one or more instructors. Courses and exams are spread across different years according to the rules outlined in the course's educational regulations.
Each activity is measured in ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System): 1 credit corresponds to 25 hours of student engagement, including individual study. Your study path ends when you have completed all required educational activities and credits specified by the course.
Class schedules and rooms, academic periods
Lectures take place at the course's location, the Department of Industrial Engineering at via Sommarive, 9, Trento, 38123 (TN).
The academic year is divided into two semesters: each semester includes a period for attending lectures and another for taking exams.
The start of each semester's lectures and different academic periods are indicated in the Academic Calendar.

Record book and Study Plan
The online Record book is the tool that contains all the approved educational activities in your study plan, including those you must complete and those you have passed, along with credits and grades. It can be found
- in Esse3 - Career - Record book
- in the UniTrentoApp.
You cannot take exams for educational activities that have not been approved in your study plan and are not listed in your Record book.
The Study Plan is the set of educational activities you want or must complete in your educational plan, and it must be approved before you can take exams:
- you must fill in it only during specific periods and following the deadlines and procedures described on the Study Plan of master’s degree courses of the Department of Industrial Engineering
- you should check the Didactic Offer (“Manifesto degli studi”) to find out which activities are mandatory in your program, which ones you can choose, and the rules for selection.
Exams
Exams are the assessment moments held at the end of each educational activity. They take place during specific periods at the end of each semester and on predetermined dates (exam sessions). Some activities may have intermediate assessments (intermediate tests) before the final exam, during the lecture period.
Each period includes multiple exam sessions for the same educational activity.
To take exams and intermediate tests, you must:
- be compliant with the Yearly enrollment for the current academic year
- have your photo validated (it is required before exam registration)
- have the educational activity for the exam listed in your Record book
- register in advance for the exam session, during a defined registration period established by your study program.
Where to register for exams:
- for courses’ exams, you must register in Esse3, under Esse3 - Menu - Exam sessions
- for foreign language exams, registration procedures and dates are available on the Language exams page.
Each final exam is graded, typically on a scale of thirty with the possibility of honors (“lode”) and passing is achieved with 18/30, or it may be assessed as "approved" or "not approved."
When you pass an exam, you earn the credits associated with the educational activity, which are recorded in your Record book.

For students who are not Italian native speakers, the knowledge of Italian language will be verified.
The knowledge of the Italian language at A1-CEF level is mandatory to take the exams of the second year of the course. This verification can be adopted to get recognized 3 CFU of “other activities” in the curriculum study.
