Study Plan

Each student is required to submit their study plan by November 30 of the second year (or within one month of enrollment if transferring into the Bachelor’s Degree Program in Mathematics during the academic year and entering a year above the first).
To prepare their personal study plan, students must use the CAPS interface, accessible with their university credentials. The plan will then be evaluated by the Career Committee. A study plan may be submitted multiple times during the course of study, but submissions are allowed only within the following three windows of the academic year:

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

Any study plan submitted outside these periods will remain pending and will be evaluated during the next available submission window. In urgent or exceptional cases, students may request early evaluation from the President of the Degree Programme.

The Bachelor’s Degree Program in Mathematics offers two curricula:

• Fundamental Curriculum;
• Computational Curriculum.

The first-year courses are common to both curricula.

Students choose their curriculum when they submit their study plan.

To modify an already approved study plan, it is sufficient to submit a new one, always respecting the submission windows. Likewise, if a student wishes to change their curriculum, they simply need to submit a new study plan with the updated curriculum. Changes to the study plan and curriculum take effect immediately once the plan is approved. New plans must, however, be submitted well in advance of the intended graduation date.

The valid study plan is always the latest submitted and approved.

IMPORTANT: It is essential to select the option corresponding to one’s own year of enrolment. For earlier enrolments or for additional details, please refer to the curriculum framework of the Bachelor’s Degree Programme on the dedicated webpage.

Notes

• “Dynamical Systems” for students enrolled up to and including the 2016/17 academic year. As “free-choice activities,” students may select courses from the Degree Programme not already included in the plan, as well as courses offered by other Degree Programmes at the University of Pisa. These courses must have content consistent with the learning objectives of the Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics. It is also possible to include an internship at private companies or public institutions affiliated with the Department of Mathematics or the University of Pisa.
• Not all courses listed in the Regulations and present in the various groups are offered every year; students are advised to consult the course offerto check which courses are available before selecting them in their study plan.
• Before completing the Bachelor’s study plan, it is also recommended to consult the Master’s study plan page and the related notes, to gain a broader perspective on the full academic pathway.
• From the 2024/2025 academic year, the course Scientific English (013ZW) is no longer offered.
  Starting 1 October 2024, to obtain the 6 ECTS credits in English, students must pass the B2 language proficiency test of the University Language Centre (CLI).
  Alternatively, students may obtain a B2-level or higher certificate from an accredited institution (including CLI) and request formal recognition via CAPS using the form “Request for the recording of Scientific English – 013ZW – 6 ECTS”.

• Changes to the curriculum or study plans submitted and approved through CAPS are not automatically updated in Alice.
  For the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programs in Mathematics, the valid curriculum and study path are those defined in the latest study plan submitted in CAPS and approved. In conclusion, students are advised not to worry about possible discrepancies recorded in Alice compared to the CAPS study plan; the academic record will be aligned with the latest approved study plan shortly before the graduation session for which the student has registered. It is nevertheless possible to request a verification of Alice–CAPS inconsistencies by writing to patrizia.lenzi@unipi.it (University Student Office, reference for the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programs in Mathematics).
  Note: attach your CAPS study plan to the email and CC chiara.luzzati@unipi.it (Teaching Office of the Department of Mathematics). For the specific case of extra exams, please refer to the following page.
