BEFORE ENROLLING

TAKING EXAMS

The 3 CFU Final Exam of the Energy Engineering Degree Program aims to assess the student’s ability to independently carry out an in-depth study and/or preliminary design work, even of an interdisciplinary nature, and to summarize in writing the main contents learned in the Degree Program.

The final exam regulations, which also include information on the calculation of the graduation grade, are available at the following link:

https://energia.ing.unipi.it/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Regolamento_Prova_Finale_LT_Ing_Energia.pdf

Access to the Final Exam is generally possible at the end of all exams, when the student has obtained 177 CFU. Access can also be granted if the following conditions are simultaneously met: a) the student has obtained at least 165 CFU; b) the student is only missing one of the training activities provided for in the study plan.

This year, the CLI offers free online 15-hour courses in preparation for the English proficiency exam for students of the University of Pisa. For the period from October 2023 to February 2024, the following are available:

  •     3 courses in preparation for the B1 proficiency exam
  •     4 courses in preparation for the B2 proficiency exam

Additional courses will also be offered in the second semester, starting from March 2024.

All information is available on the CLI website:

Engineering Degree Program Courses and Professors.

The recognition of an elective exam different from the suggested ones is generally subject to approval by the Degree Program Council, adhering to the following general criteria:

  •     The exam must be part of an Engineering degree program, preferably in the industrial field.
  •     The exam must belong to a Bachelor’s degree class.
  •     There should be no overlap in content with other exams in the Degree Program

There are two tutoring services available for students. The first comes from the “Bando Fondo Giovani” (Youth Fund Announcement), which annually allocates a certain number of grants to incentivize tutoring, supplementary teaching, and remedial activities. For the academic year 2023/2024, the Energy Engineering Degree Program has six students assigned for the courses of Mathematical Analysis I, Electrical Apparatus for Energy, General Energy, Technical Physics, and Machinery. Further information is available at the following link:

There is also a peer tutoring service, where tutors have been identified among the students for each degree program. In our Degree Program, Mr. Giacomo Genito, a nuclear engineering student, has been identified. The idea of this initiative is for these tutors to act as mediators between students and teachers to provide assistance to students in organizing their studies. Further details are available at the following link:

Regarding the OFA, the School’s regulations prohibit taking exams until the TOLC is passed. You must therefore pass the TOLC before you can proceed with the exams of the Degree Program, as described in the regulations at the following link.
