Bachelor’s Degree Course Study Plans

Every student must submit a personal study plan before 30^th November of their second year (or within a month after enrolment, if the student transfers to the degree course and is admitted to the second academic year or later). The study plan is created using the CAPS interface, which is accessible with the personal academic credentials (the same ones used for the Alice portal). The plan will then be evaluated by the Study Plans Committee. The study plan can be submitted multiple times during the course of studies, but submissions can only occur within these three time windows within the academic year:

• 1 September – 30 November;
• 1 February – 31 March;
• 1 June – 30 June.

The Bachelor’s Degree Course in Mathematics is structured in two programmes:

• Fundamental;
• Computational.

The first-year courses are common to both curricula.

The choice of curriculum occurs concurrently with the submission of the study plan.

To modify an already approved plan, it is sufficient to submit a new one, always respecting the time windows. Similarly, if you wish to change your curriculum, simply submit a new study plan with the updated curriculum. Changes to the study plan and curriculum are immediately effective once the plan is approved. However, new plans must be proposed well in advance of the graduation date.

The last submitted and approved study plan is considered valid.

ATTENTION: it is important to choose the option corresponding to your Academic Year of enrolment. For information about previous academic years or for further details, please refer to the corresponding Master’s Course Handbook at the following page.

Notes

• Students must choose which exams they intend to pass when submitting their study plan. As “free-choice courses” students can select courses not already included in the study plan, or courses active at other departments of the University. In the latter case, the courses should be consistent with the educational objectives of the Bachelor’s Degree Course in Mathematics. It is also possible to include an internship at a private or public organization that has an agreement with the Department of Mathematics or the University of Pisa.
• Not all courses described in the Handbook and included in the various groups are active each year; please check the list of active courses before choosing the exams to include in the study plan.
• Before completing your study plan for the Bachelor’s Degree Course, it is advised to also check the info and the notes on the page about study plans for the Master’s Degree Course in order to get a perspective on the full educational journey.
• The study plans will also be visible on the Alice portal; however, changes to the curriculum and study plans made through a newly submitted and approved plan in CAPS are not automatically recorded in Alice. In the case of Bachelor’s/Master’s Degrees in Mathematics, the valid and current curriculum is defined by the last study plan submitted in CAPS and approved. In conclusion, it is recommended not to worry about any discrepancies recorded in Alice compared to the CAPS study plan; the student’s academic career will ultimately be aligned with the last approved study plan close to the graduation exam for which they are enrolled.
