Dear students,

I am Vincenzo your Tutor Junior,

We are at half of the fall semester, this means holidays are approaching,

Here some news coming up soon for you and these comes also from the open meetings i do weekly, here you find the infos (scroll down till DISSGeA): 

About the study plan: 

You can find the infos for its filling here, fill it before the beginning of the winter exam session and by December so to not have problems for register to do the exams and the exams registration, for any questions you can always reach out to me.

Remember to fill all the study plan, also the free credit units 9-12 CFU rule, after you can always modify it after the winter exam session, otherwise the system will give you error:

Academic Calendar, that you find also on the LD moodle page:

Teaching activities: from Monday 29 September 2025 to Saturday 17 January 2026

Assessment of progress: from Monday 19 January 2026 to Saturday 21 February 2026

-Here the list of exams dates for this academic year where you can find already most exams that have their dates in both exams session Winter, Summer and Make-up session exam period, give a look to manage already your exam session.

I remind that you can take exams in any call and you can decide to accept or refuse a grade, when this gets refused does not get registered in your booklet and then does not affect your GPA. 

-Once the grade has been registered, the exam remains on your academic record and cannot be removed.

About KOS 2025 Registration:

Indication when students should register for the KOS CFU:

Only those in the 2024/25 cohort who had to complete a KOS program that was left unfinished will be able to register for the KOS on February 5th.

  • For the 2025/26 cohort: you also have attend a final KOS session, which will be held on February 19th. The program is going to be finalized, and it will be published soon on the KOS Moodle page, which can be accessed from the Local Moodle page.

In any case, all the information for both cohorts is on the KOS Moodle page, which can be accessed from the Local Moodle page – I encourage you to read it carefully.

for more info you can contact: master.localdevelopment@unipd.it

Erasmus Courses:

Carefully read Local's Moodle page, which leads to a dedicated page, Mobility Programs (e.g., Erasmus+ for Studies).

The page states: Local Development students generally spend their second year abroad through an Erasmus exchange. Students must carefully plan a Learning Agreement that will replace the second-year study plan they would have otherwise attended in Padua.

If students want to attend a course unit planned for their first year, this must be exactly the same as the one they would have attended in Padua.

In the case of integrated courses, the possibility of taking one of the two modules abroad—which must perfectly coincide—can be authorized by the relevant instructor in charge of the combined course.

The calls for study mobility (Erasmus+, SEMP and Ulisse Programmes) for the academic year 2026/2027 have been published.
