WHAT IS THE STUDY PROGRAMME REPORT?
What is the Study Programme Report?
The Study Programme Report provides updated information which is important for the purposes of Quality Assurance and is
published annually by the University of Bologna.
The main aspects of the teaching programme are described in detail, with a view to assuring the principle of transparency and
promoting self-assessment and continuous improvement processes.
The document provides a concrete overview of the features and results of the Study Programme for students, families, employers and
so on.
For example, regarding the current issue of employment, it describes the learning outcomes and career opportunities; it also includes
statistics on the percentage of employed graduates (D.4. Employment situation).
The document is organised into five sections and a glossary:
A. Presentation and prospects
Key information on the Study Programme, including the expected learning outcomes, career opportunities and further studies.
B. Teaching and Learning
The updated course structure diagram with the full titles and listings of the course units and the latest published lecture timetable.
C. Resources and services
The list of teaching staff and their relative curricula, the services available to students.
D. The Study Programme in Figures
Key data shows how many students are enrolled, how many have been assigned additional learning requirements, how many drop out
after the first year, how many graduate in line with the programme schedule, the opinions of attending and graduating students on the
teaching programmes and information concerning graduate employment.
E. Find out more: the quality of your Study Programme
How the quality system applied to your Study Programme works. The quality system of your Study Programme is a set of processes and
responsibilities adopted to guarantee the quality of all Study Programmes at the University of Bologna.
NOTES:
• Reports are available for all Study Programmes for which it is possible to enrol in the first year in academic year 2015/2016: the
information and data provided is as updated as possible.
• Sections A, B and C provide data for the academic year 2015/2016.
• The section D presents data regarding the Study Programmes in the last three academic years. The Study Programmes running
at the University of Bologna have been reformed in compliance with DM 270/04; most of them from the academic year
2008/2009. When Study Programme data are not available for three academic years, for some information the data of the
previous Study Programme are available, too (as for example, the number and the opinion of the graduates, the employment
situation). Graphs and tables about attending students opinions and exchange students mobility refers to students whether they
are enrolled/graduated in the current programme or in the Study programme running under previous reform regulations (D.M.
509).
• The information and data were taken from the University databases and the reports published by AlmaLaurea, and are updated
to 6 May 2015.

Study Programme Report 2015
A. PRESENTATION AND PROSPECTS
This section presents the key information concerning the Study Programme, including the expected learning outcomes, career opportunities and further studies,
updated to the academic year 2015/2016.
A.1. PRESENTATION
This paragraph provides information on the specific learning outcomes of the Study Programme and the curriculum.
This information is not available in English at this time.
A.2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
This paragraph provides information on the knowledge and skills students will have acquired by the end of the Programme.
The Single Cycle degree programme in Medicine and Surgery trains students to become competent doctors in all fundamental fields of
medical science who, with the knowledge acquired in the programme are able to continue specialist studies in all medical and surgical
fields, exercising any of the roles foreseen by the health system regulations and who are in the best possible condition to apply lifelong
learning techniques.
The specific learning outcomes of the programme are coherent with the general provisions of the Bologna Process and the specific
provisions of EC Directive 2005/36/EC and the European Specifications in Medical Education drawn up by the Thematic Network
on Medical Education in Europe (MEDINE), under the joint supervision of the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) and
the Association of Medical Schools in Europe (AMSE) under the auspice of the European Commission. They are represented within
the European Qualifications Framework (Dublin descriptors).
The curriculum is divided into three consecutive biennial programmes, as described below. In particular:
1) The first biennial programme provides basic scientific knowledge starting with physics and chemistry, aiming to understand the
structure and functions of the human body in both microscopic (single molecules and molecular structures) and macroscopic (tissue
and organs) terms. The first biennial programme is completed with an understanding of general mechanisms of various pathologies and
the defence system of the organism.
2) The second biennial programme begins with the acquisition of the basic tools for the approach to the sick organism, covering mainly
the pathology of organs and systems; the acquired knowledge is applied to the development of skills in the approach to sick patients
during the clinical internship, which counts for approx. 25% of the whole degree programme; the programme is completed by the
study of pathological anatomy to develop knowledge of the alteration of organs and systems.
3) The third biennial programme is strongly oriented to the development of a comprehensive clinical approach to the patient; as
the degree programme is aligned to the definition adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO), in which health is a state
of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, it includes a large portion of
internship (75% of the total programme) dealing with clinical issues in midwifery and gynaecology, paediatrics, general medicine
and surgery; to complete the programme, students will acquire specific skills in clinical areas with strong social impact, community
medicine, ageing, medical oncology, psychiatry, legal medicine, occupational health and medical surgical emergencies.
The three biennial programmes generally run over twelve semesters. On a yearly basis, in compliance with the teaching regulation, the
Degree Programme Board decides on the division of the various learning activities according to their appropriateness of the various
planned course units to the specific learning outcomes. The curriculum organisation ensures that all learning activities included in
the degree programme contribute to achieving the learning outcomes laid down in the European Qualifications Framework (Dublin
descriptors). The type and methods of assessment are laid down in the degree programme teaching regulation in compliance with the
University Teaching Regulation; the various methods of assessment of the learning outcomes, in line with the European Qualifications
Framework (Dublin descriptors), are fully represented in the regulations.

D. THE STUDY PROGRAMME IN FIGURES
Information on students' starting their university careers, how many students are in line with the regular programme, opinions of students and graduates on the
teaching programmes and information concerning graduate employment.
This section provides the data of the last academic years for the Study Programme and a comparison with similar Study Programmes. The University of
Bologna has divided its Study Programmes into four groups:
• BIOMEDICAL group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Pharmacy, Biotechnology and Sport Science; Medicine; Agriculture and Veterinary
Medicine
• SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Engineering and Architecture; Sciences
• SOCIAL SCIENCES group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Economics, Management, and Statistics; Law, Political Sciences
• HUMANITIES group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Arts, Humanities, and Cultural Heritage; Foreign Languages and Literatures,
Interpreting and Translation; Psychology and Education
The section presents the results of the Study Programme for the last three academic years.
Main data shows how many students enrolled, the number of students assigned OFA, how many drop out after the first year, how many graduate in line with
the programme schedule, the opinions of attending and graduating students on the teaching programmes and information concerning graduate employment.
The information and data presented in this section, updated to 6 May 2015, were taken from University databases and AlmaLaurea.
Study Programmes may be subject to degree programme system modifications from one academic year to the next, and the data provided in this section may refer
to a programme with a slightly different system to the one currently running (such as programme title, course structure diagram and list of lecturers). However,
indicatively the data presents the general trend of the Study Programme over the past three years.
The Study Programmes running at the University of Bologna have been reformed in compliance with DM 270/04; most of them from the academic year
2008/2009. When Study Programme data are not available for three academic years, for some information the data of the previous Study Programme are
available, too (as for example, the number and the opinion of the graduates, the employment situation). Graphs and tables about attending students opinions
and exchange students mobility refers to students whether they are enrolled/graduated in the current programme or in the Study programme running under
previous reform regulations (D.M. 509).
D.1. STUDENTS STARTING THEIR UNIVERSITY CAREERS
Characteristics of incoming students at the beginning of their university careers. The tables and the graphs provide information on the number of registered
students, focusing on the characteristics of the students, results of any entrance tests and the students assigned any additional learning requirements (OFA).
D.1.1. ENROLMENTS AND REGISTRATIONS
The graph shows the number of students enrolled in the 1st year compared with the average of similar Study Programmes (which
belong to the same group).
In addition, the table shows the total number of registered students and the total number of enrolled students.
The data of the Study Programme is compared with the average of the Study Programmes of average of similar Study
Programmes (which belong to the same group) for the indicated academic years. The admission requirements could be different and
some of the Study Progremmes included in the same group could have restricted access.

D.1.2. ADDITIONAL DATA ON STUDENTS’ STARTING THEIR UNIVERSITY CAREERS
D.1.2.1. CANDIDATES REGISTERED FOR THE ENTRANCE EXAM
The number of students sitting the entrance exam for the Study Programme. Concerns the programmes with restricted access. The
methods of managing the call for applications and the list of candidates, including the methods for filling any unclaimed places, may
vary from year to year.
The table shows the number of places available for the study programme, the number of candidatures and the number of
partecipations.
For all programmes with restricted access, candidates are required to sit an entrance exam and there are a limited number of places
available. The entrance exam is a test which is used to draw up a graded list of candidates; students may enrol in the programme
according to their place in the list. The methods of managing the call for applications and the list of candidates, including the methods
for filling any unclaimed places, may vary from year to year. The test may be specific to a Degree Programme or may be part of a single
exam covering several programmes from the same university or from other universities.
The following definitions apply:
Available places = the number of places laid down in the call for applications to the Study Programme, or determined by subsequent
legal provisions; these exclude any additional places reserved according to special provisions of the programme (e.g. for some
international study programmes, they do not include places for foreign students selected from other universities).
Number of candidatures = number of students registered for the exam (when the test are organised in more than one exam
sessions, the data refers to the sum of the candidatures for each session).
When a single exam is covering several programmes from the same university or from other universities, the table shows the number of
candidatures indicating the study programme as their first choice (First cycle degree programmes and Single cycle degree of School of
Medicine have a different table).
Number of participations in the exam = number of participations (when the test are organised in more than one exam sessions, the
data refers to the sum of the participants for each session).
When a single exam is covering several programmes from the same university or from other universities, the table shows the number of
participations indicating the study programme as their first choice (First cycle degree programmes and Single cycle degree of School of

D.1.2.3. ADDITIONAL LEARNING REQUIREMENTS
Students on the programme assigned additional learning requirements (OFA).
The OFA are learning requirements assigned to enrolled students who have not demonstrated the full possession of the entrance
initial preparation. The assessment methods of students' initial preparation and the fulfilment of the OFA are described in the Study
Programme Regulations, and may change each year. Students not completing the additional learning requirements are obliged to reenrol in year 1 as repeating students.
The table shows the number of registered students, the number of students assigned OFA, the number who fulfilled them, the
percentage of students assigned the OFA compared to the number of enrolled students and the percentage fulfilling the OFA
compared to those assigned them.
The last three columns show the number of students assigned OFA, who leave the programme after the first year (who withdraw
from studies, who pass to a different Study Programme in the same university or transfer to another university, who enrolled as
repeating student).

D.2.3.2. EXAMS PASSED AND AVERAGE GRADE
The table shows number of exams passed and average grade achieved for each course unit in the calendar year 2014. Marks for the
exams passed are expressed out of thirty.
The data refers to the course unit code and therefore includes the various branches of the programme divided into channels or subgroups, divided by letter.
It considers all subjects for which a grade is assigned, and therefore excludes all those to which a pass/fail score is allocated.

E. FIND OUT MORE: THE QUALITY OF YOUR STUDY
PROGRAMME
The University of Bologna has identified its objectives as the personal, cultural and professional growth of students and the improvement of the
quality of learning, also in relation to the needs of society (Strategic Plan 2013/2015).
Students, employers and society as a whole, have the right to effective learning for individual and intellectual growth, to develop critical
sense and to prepare for the world of work.
In the Statute and the Strategic Plan 2013/2015 the University of Bologna acknowledges its responsibility in guaranteeing the quality of
its study programmes, and for this purpose adopts an "internal quality assurance system”.
The Internal Quality Assurance system The internal quality assurance system is a set of processes and responsibilities adopted to guarantee the quality of Study Programmes at
the University of Bologna.
The guarantee of the quality of a Study Programme is the correspondence of the results achieved with the set objectives, in the
following phases:
• Plan: defining the objectives
• Do: implementing the planned actions
• Check: checking that the objectives have been achieved
• Act: planning improvement action
This path responds to the expectations of students, guides teaching behaviour and provides indicators for the assessment of results.
Self-assessment is based on the analysis of significant data (for example, the number of students graduating in line with the exam
schedule, students' opinions and the employment rates of graduates) and highlights strengths and weaknesses in order to reflect on the
achieved results, critically consider one's own working methods and take steps for the continual improvement of the Programme.
This path involves all educational stakeholders, including students, in order to make use of the contributions of everyone with firsthand knowledge of the Study Programme. Improvement is therefore a day to day development, concerning all aspects of teaching:
from the lesson timetable to the publication of on-line programmes, from classroom management to exam methods, and the actual
design of the Programme.
This is what happens in each phase:
• Planning: the Study Programme is the result of a proposal from the teaching structures and approved by the Academic Bodies.
• Management: Schools, Departments and Study Programmes manage the activities required to ensure teaching. The activities are
organised as follows:

• Internal assessment: every Study Programme periodically assesses its own results, evaluating, for example, the number of
enrolled students, the number of withdrawing students, student opinions etc.; in this way, the strengths and weaknesses, as well as
any implemented improvement actions, are highlighted. This phase is organised as follows:

Definition, gathering and publication of evaluation data
According to the general guidelines of the University and national
and international standards, are defined the tools through which
should be evaluated the results (indicators). The survey data to
be evaluated are published every year on the Report of the Study
Program. Academic Bodies
Self-Assessment
The Schools and Study Programmes assess the effectiveness of
the previously adopted solutions, analyse the progress of their
learning activities and draw up proposals for improvement.
Schools and Study Programmes
Internal audit The results of the self-assessment process are reviewed in the
following phases:
• Analysis: the University "Presidio di Qualità" analyses
the review documents, considering the ability to identify
problems, propose solutions and the overall development of
the internal quality assurance system.
• Review: The observations on the results obtained and the
good practices adopted are examined together with the
persons in charge of the Schools and Study Programmes
in meetings organised by scientific-disciplinary field. The
persons in charge receive the observations and inputs on
the areas for development and the actions to be adopted in
future to improve results.
Presidio della Qualità
Vice Rector for Teaching and Education
Academic Bodies
• Sharing: the conclusions of the review activities are
submitted to the Academic Bodies and the University
Evaluation Board. • Improvement: on the basis of the results of the internal audit, the Schools and Study Programmes plan improvement activities,
to ensure that the Study Programmes increasingly respond to the needs of society. The cycle then starts over again, with the
definition of actions to be implemented, the results of which are in turn verified, in a continuous path that guarantees the quality
of education.

F. GLOSSARY TERMS
Additional Learning Requirements
Students enrolling in the first year of a first cycle or single cycle degree and who, following the results of the entrance exams established
for each study programme, do not possess the knowledge required for access to the programme, are assigned additional learning
requirements (OFA).
The OFA are fulfilled by passing an assessment test defined by the programme.
The non-fulfilment of the requirements by the date set by the Academic Bodies and published on the University Portal will lead to the
re-enrolment in the first year of the programme.
AlmaLaurea
AlmaLaurea is an innovative online database service of graduates’ curriculum vitae (1,890,000 CVs, from 64 Italian universities as of
26/05/2014), which offers a link between graduates, universities and businesses.
Created in 1994 on the initiative of the Statistical Observatory of the University of Bologna, managed by a consortium of Italian
universities with the support of the Ministry of Education, University and Research, the purpose AlmaLaurea is to act as a point of
contact between businesses and graduates, a reference within universities for anyone (students, businesses, etc.) working in the field of
university studies, employment and the condition of young people at different levels.
Average of similar study programmes (belonging to the same group)
Average of the Study Programmes (which belong to the subject group)
Calculated average which refers to University of Bologna study programmes of the same cycle which belong to the subject group. The University of Bologna has divided its Study Programmes into four groups, composed as follows:
• BIOMEDICAL group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Pharmacy, Biotechnology and Sport Science; Medicine; Agriculture
and Veterinary Medicine
• SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Engineering and Architecture; Sciences
• SOCIAL SCIENCES group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Economics, Management, and Statistics; Law, Political
Sciences
• HUMANITIES group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Arts, Humanities, and Cultural Heritage; Foreign Languages and
Literatures, Interpreting and Translation; Psychology and Education
CFU University Learning Credits
University Learning Credits (CFU) were introduced under Italian Ministerial Decree no. 509/99 to comply with European legislation,
and are a measurement of the volume of learning, including individual study, required of students; generally 1 CFU corresponds to 25
hours of a student’s “overall learning effort”.
Class
Degree classes group together study programmes of the same level and with the same key learning outcomes and available learning
activities for a given number of credits and in sectors which are identified as indispensable. The features of the classes are set nationally,
by Ministerial Decree, and are therefore common to all universities.
Cohort
Cohort refers to a group of students enrolled in the same academic year.
Enrolment status
In terms of enrolment, students may be:
● Regularly enrolled: students enrolled for as many or fewer years than the legal duration of the study programme, who do not
fall into any of the following categories; ● Not aligned with the exam schedule: students who, without having graduated, have enrolled in all the years of the study
programme and which, for programmes with compulsory attendance, have obtained all attendance certificates;
● Repeating: students re-enrolling in the same year of a programme again. Starting from academic year 2009-2010, students who
have not fulfilled the assigned additional learning requirements within the deadline have to enrol in the 1st year as repeating
students.
Entrance exam
31
Study Programme Report 2015
The number of students sitting the entrance exam for the Study Programme. Concerns the programmes with restricted access. The
methods of managing the call for applications and the list of candidates, including the methods for filling any unclaimed places, may
vary from year to year.
The table shows the number of places available for the study programme, the number of candidatures and the number of
partecipations.
For all programmes with restricted access, candidates are required to sit an entrance exam and there are a limited number of places
available. The entrance exam is a test which is used to draw up a graded list of candidates; students may enrol in the programme
according to their place in the list. The methods of managing the call for applications and the list of candidates, including the methods
for filling any unclaimed places, may vary from year to year. The test may be specific to a Degree Programme or may be part of a single
exam covering several programmes from the same university or from other universities.
The following definitions apply:
Available places = the number of places laid down in the call for applications to the Study Programme, or determined by subsequent
legal provisions; these exclude any additional places reserved according to special provisions of the programme (e.g. for some
international study programmes, they do not include places for foreign students selected from other universities).
Number of candidatures = number of students registered for the exam (when the test are organised in more than one exam
sessions, the data refers to the sum of the candidatures for each session).
When a single exam is covering several programmes from the same university or from other universities, the table shows the number of
candidatures indicating the study programme as their first choice (First cycle degree programmes and Single cycle degree of School of
Medicine have a different table).
Number of participations in the exam = number of participations (when the test are organised in more than one exam sessions, the
data refers to the sum of the participants for each session).
When a single exam is covering several programmes from the same university or from other universities, the table shows the number of
participations indicating the study programme as their first choice (First cycle degree programmes and Single cycle degree of School of
Medicine have a different table). First year enrolments
This includes all students enrolled in the first year, including those joining the study programme in its first year through transferrals, as
well as those enrolled in the first year but not for the first time (e.g. repeating students).
New Careers
Students who start a new university career (excluding transfers) from year one in a second cycle programme.
Passages and transfers
Passage: when a student applies to move to a different study programme from the one enrolled in the previous year, within the same
university.
Transfer: when a student transfers from a study programme in one university to any programme in another university.
Registered students
Students who begin a career in the Italian University System for the first time and who enrol in the first year (i.e. for whom no previous
university careers are recorded) of a First Cycle (L509, L) or Single Cycle programme (LSCU, LMCU)
University DataWarehouse
In information service for the managers of the University of Bologna organisational departments which gathers, integrates and
reorganises data from various sources and makes it available for analysis and evaluation for the purposes of planning and decisionmaking.
Withdrawal
Suspension of studies by students who do not register in the next academic year, or who drop out from the degree programme.
