All'interno del programma europeo Erasmus+, la Scuola di Scienze Motorie offre la possibilità agli studenti iscritti al corso di laurea di poter eseguire parte della loro formazione, scegliendo all'interno di quindici importanti università partner distribuite in Spagna, Portogallo, Francia, Austria, Norvegia, Polonia, Ungheria e Turchia. Gli studenti che intendono trascorrere un periodo di studio all'estero avranno a disposizione dai due ai dodici mesi per ciclo di studio. È da rilevare la richiesta da parte di alcune Università di una certificazione che attesti il livello di conoscenza della lingua come conditio sine qua non poter accedere alla fase di selezione. Durante il periodo trascorso all'estero, avranno la possibilità sia di partecipare a lezioni tipiche del proprio curriculum di studio, sia di integrare le proprie conoscenze con materie complementari e opzionali tipiche della zona geografica dell'Università partner (sport acquatici condotti in ambiente marino, vela, sport invernali, sport di montagna ). Inoltre, si avrà la possibilità di poter svolgere le ore previste come tirocinio presso centri convenzionati con l'Università ospitante, arricchendo ancora di più il proprio bagaglio di esperienza. Gli esami superati e i relativi crediti conseguiti all'estero saranno convertiti secondo le tabelle di conversione ECTS/CFU in relazione alle norme vigenti nello Stato dell'Università ospitante, e integrati all'interno del piano di studi dello studente.
Attendance of all coursework, and all internship activities, is mandatory. To be allowed to sit for the for-credit exam, students must have attended at least 70% of the educational programming contemplated for each course.
Students who receive an incomplete in any individual class due to low attendance may complete the class in the following academic year.
The Academic Board will determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether the incomplete would require the student to enrol as a repeater, subject to general university regulations on enrolling in a programme year on an on- or off-track basis.
Practical Activities (PA)
The training program includes 20 CFU (University Educational Credits) of Practical Activities (PA) within the teachings of the Motor and Sports Sciences area. One CFU of PA consists of 12 hours of practical exercises, conducted either at university facilities or in appropriately equipped structures that meet technical requirements and student capacity, under the direct responsibility of the University.
