All Unicollege courses are documented through defined syllabi covering learning outcomes, contact hours, ECTS credits, prerequisites, content, assessment methods, and required readings — supporting credit recognition and transfer review by partner institutions worldwide.
Syllabi are the primary instrument through which Unicollege documents what is taught, at what level, and against which assessment standards. They are written to a consistent template across all programs so that students, partner universities, and credit-evaluation agencies can read them without prior familiarity with the Italian system.
How to access syllabi
Syllabi can be retrieved through two complementary entry points: starting from a programme of study, or starting from an individual course code.
By programme
Each programme page on this website — Bachelor's concentrations, Master's, and Doctoral pathways — lists the courses delivered in each year of study. Each course title links to its current syllabus in PDF.
Start from Schools & Departments to navigate to the programme of interest.
By course code
If you already have a course code (for example from a transcript or a partner university's catalogue), you can request the corresponding syllabus directly through the International Office. Codes follow the standard MUR format and remain stable across academic years.
For codes from previous academic years, archived syllabi are available on request.
Standard syllabus structure
Every Unicollege syllabus follows the same eight-section template, ensuring comparability across courses, programs, and academic years.
- Course identificationTitle, code, programme, year, semester, language of instruction, and lecturer in charge.
- ECTS credits and contact hoursCredit weight (CFU/ECTS), total student workload, and breakdown by lecture, seminar, and independent study.
- PrerequisitesRequired prior knowledge, recommended preparatory courses, and any language proficiency thresholds.
- Learning outcomesKnowledge, skills, and competencies the student will have acquired on completion, expressed against the Dublin Descriptors.
- Course contentWeek-by-week or unit-by-unit programme of topics covered.
- Teaching methodsLectures, seminars, workshops, group projects, lab sessions, fieldwork, and any blended or online delivery.
- Assessment methodsForms of evaluation (written exam, oral exam, project, continuous assessment), weighting, and grading scale.
- Reading listRequired textbooks, recommended readings, and supplementary materials, with full bibliographic references.
Recognition for credit transfer
The standardised syllabus template is designed to make credit-transfer review as straightforward as possible — whether the receiving institution is in Europe, North America, or elsewhere.
For partner universities
Syllabi document course content against ECTS workload, learning outcomes against the Dublin Descriptors, and assessment against transparent grading criteria. Partner institutions reviewing a Unicollege transcript have all the information they need to map a course onto their own curriculum.
Where a formal exchange or double-degree agreement is in place, syllabi are pre-shared with academic coordinators on both sides.
For credit-evaluation agencies
For students applying to graduate study or licensure abroad, syllabi can be submitted to evaluation agencies (WES, ECE, NARIC/ENIC, and similar national bodies). The Unicollege syllabus template aligns with the documentation requirements of the major agencies.
Combined with the Diploma Supplement issued at graduation, the syllabus package supports a complete external evaluation of an Italian Unicollege degree.
Request a syllabus
If the syllabus you need is not directly downloadable from the programme page, or if you require an archived version from a previous academic year, please contact the International Office. Most requests are answered within five working days.
When writing, please include: course code (if available), course title, programme, academic year, and the receiving institution or agency. This allows us to issue a syllabus formatted for the recognition procedure you are following.
