During his university career a student must acquire elective CFUs, i.e. activities not included in the compulsory study plan. The elective CFUs for the DISMI degree courses are:
- 6 CFU for students of the professionally oriented degree programme in Technologies for Smart Industry;
- 12 CFU for students of the three-year degree programmes in Management Engineering and Mechatronic Engineering and for the professional degree course in Engineering for the Smart Industry;
- 9 CFU for students on the master's degree programmes in Management Engineering and Mechatronic Engineering;
- 12 CFU for students on the master's degree programmes in Digital Automation Engineering (procedure available in English at: https://www.dae.unimore.it/elective-courses/).
The elective CFUs can be acquired through seminar-type training activities, language and IT certifications, etc. (info on the administrative procedure: HERE) and/or by taking examinations offered by our Department or by other Departments of the University.
In particular, DISMI has established requirements in the choice of elective courses:
1) they must be chosen among those of the same degree level (bachelor's degree students choose among the courses of a bachelor's degree, master's degree students among those of another master's degree, and professionalising students may only choose teachings of another professionalising degree). In addition, it is not possible to choose teachings from programmed access degrees;
2) exams that have already been recognised, e.g. as the result of a previous substitution of apprenticeship with exams, or exams that have already been taken in the bachelor degree when enrolled in the master's degree may not be taken as elective exams;
3) courses with a high overlap factor (in the order of 50%) with compulsory courses in the student's study plan may not be taken as elective exams;
4) foreign language courses may not be chosen as free-choice examinations if it is one's mother tongue.
More specifically, exams may be chosen between the following:
- OFFERED BY THE DEPARTMENT:

- List of elective courses for the master's degree programmes in Mechatronic Engineering and Management Engineering:
Design to Cost (6 CFU - I semester)
Project finance (6 CFU - I semester)
In addition, it is possible for students in one curriculum to take courses offered in the other curriculums of their own degree programme or in the other degree programmes of the Department as elective courses, provided that they are not courses whose contents overlap with courses already included in their own curriculum.
Students on the professional degree programme may not take teachings from a non-professional degree programme, with the exception of the teachings on the bachelor's Mechatronic Engineering degree course in Manufacturing Technology and Principles of Business Economics and Organisation of Innovation and the Management Engineering degree course in Chemistry, Fundamentals of Business Economics, Information Systems, Principles and Applications of Electrical Energy, Organisational Systems and Behaviour, Industrial Technologies and Plants, and Decision Support Models and Methods.
COURSES OFFERED BY OTHER DEPARTMENTS: The Department has identified a list of courses offered by other Departments from which students may choose. Please note that this approval does not exempt the student from checking with the Department offering the course to ensure that there are no particular rules or constraints for students from other Departments who wish to take advantage of their courses. The course chosen must also be active in the current academic year within the offer ex DM 270/04. Finally, it is still compulsory to submit the authorisation form for taking examinations in other Departments to the Student Secretariat at least one week before taking the examination.
- "Competenze trasversali per la sostenibilità" teaching: please refer to the information published on UniMore Sostenibile; please note that the examination can only be recognised once, even if different modules are taken.
In case the student wishes to take an examination that is not on the list of approved examinations or among those not approved, it is compulsory to send the recognition form to the Student secretariat at least 3 months in advance. The request will be sent to the Department for assessment and the outcome will be communicated to the student. In the absence of a positive opinion, the student cannot take the examination.
Students who do not comply with the above procedures will have their examination cancelled.
Specific cases of certain Departments:
“Enzo Ferrari” Department of Engineering
On the basis of the resolution passed on 5 June 2013 by the Didactic Commission of the Enzo Ferrari Department of Engineering (Modena Engineering), students who intend to take didactic activities offered by DIEF as free-choice examinations are required to submit the form to the Student Secretariat in Modena at least 15 days before the start of classes.
"Marco Biagi" Department of Economics
Students from other Departments of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia cannot take:
- examinations of subjects in the first year of a bachelor's degree programme
- examinations of foreign language subjects
- examinations of subjects in the IT sectors (subjects belonging to the scientific-disciplinary sectors INF/01 and ING/INF-05);
- the International Economics examination (3rd year CLEF and CLEMI).
The reason is that these are subjects that already have a high attendance rate or use teaching laboratories.
For other subjects, the student must contact the lecturer responsible for the teaching, who will decide (also on the basis of the need for any prerequisites) whether to grant the request.
Department of Communication and Economics
Students from other Departments are not allowed to choose among the subjects taught in the Digital Marketing degree programme with programmed access.
HOW TO REGISTER FOR ELECTIVE EXAMS
We would like to remind students that elective courses do not appear automatically in the booklet, and it is therefore necessary to search for the course and load it into your booklet using the “Ricerca appelli” link (found at the bottom of the page listing the available appeals, which can be reached by selecting the APPELLI D'ESAME item). Using this function, you can specify the name of the teaching activity whose call you wish to book and follow the system's instructions. The entry can only be made if the course lecturer has entered the examination appointments.
In the event that the booking is unsuccessful, please ensure that you have completed the teaching evaluation questionnaires.
