Optional Curricular Activities

Students have the possibility to customise their Study Plan within their Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree course, by indicating their preference options for certain Studios and Workshops, and for elective courses.

After the preference options have been expressed, the School will allocate students based on meritocratic criteria that consider the number of credits passed and the weighted average (criteria found in the Study Plan Guide).
For Laboratories, the number of options is equal to the number of courses; for elective courses, you must express 8 options for each group.
