YOU CAN ALSO... mix courses from different curricula just beware of overlaps in time schedule attend many other courses taught in Italian and also their timetable can overlap Remember you have to book your exam it is not automatic at the end of the course ask the lecturers, they are (mostly) understanding
ERASMUS+ recommended for the 3 rd semester change study plan with exams abroad suggested destinations (under responsibility of an ICT lecturer) proposed new flows
