The section presents the results of the Study Programme for the last three academic years.Main data shows how many students enrolled, the number of students assigned OFA, how many drop out after the first year, how many graduate in line withthe programme schedule, the opinions of attending and graduating students on the teaching programmes and information concerning graduate employment.The information and data presented in this section, updated to 6 May 2015, were taken from University databases and AlmaLaurea.Study Programmes may be subject to degree programme system modifications from one academic year to the next, and the data provided in this section may referto a programme with a slightly different system to the one currently running (such as programme title, course structure diagram and list of lecturers). However,indicatively the data presents the general trend of the Study Programme over the past three years.The Study Programmes running at the University of Bologna have been reformed in compliance with DM 270/04; most of them from the academic year2008/2009. When Study Programme data are not available for three academic years, for some information the data of the previous Study Programme areavailable, too (as for example, the number and the opinion of the graduates, the employment situation). Graphs and tables about attending students opinionsand exchange students mobility refers to students whether they are enrolled/graduated in the current programme or in the Study programme running underprevious reform regulations (D.M. 509).

D.1. STUDENTS STARTING THEIR UNIVERSITY CAREERSCharacteristics of incoming students at the beginning of their study. The tables and the graphs provide information on the number of enrolled students on thefirst year (new careers), focusing on the characteristics of the students and results of any entrance tests.

D.1.1. ENROLMENTSThe graph and the table show the number of new careers of the Study Programme compared with the average of similar StudyProgrammes (which belong to the same group), for the indicated academic years. The admission requirements could be different andsome of the Study Progremmes included in the same group could have restricted access.

E. FIND OUT MORE: THE QUALITY OF YOUR STUDYPROGRAMME

The University of Bologna has identified its objectives as the personal, cultural and professional growth of students and the improvement of thequality of learning, also in relation to the needs of society (Strategic Plan 2013/2015).Students, employers and society as a whole, have the right to effective learning for individual and intellectual growth, to develop criticalsense and to prepare for the world of work.In the Statute and the Strategic Plan 2013/2015 the University of Bologna acknowledges its responsibility in guaranteeing the quality ofits study programmes, and for this purpose adopts an "internal quality assurance system”. The Internal Quality Assurance system The internal quality assurance system is a set of processes and responsibilities adopted to guarantee the quality of Study Programmes atthe University of Bologna.The guarantee of the quality of a Study Programme is the correspondence of the results achieved with the set objectives, in thefollowing phases:

• Plan: defining the objectives

• Do: implementing the planned actions

• Check: checking that the objectives have been achieved

• Act: planning improvement action

This path responds to the expectations of students, guides teaching behaviour and provides indicators for the assessment of results.Self-assessment is based on the analysis of significant data (for example, the number of students graduating in line with the examschedule, students' opinions and the employment rates of graduates) and highlights strengths and weaknesses in order to reflect on theachieved results, critically consider one's own working methods and take steps for the continual improvement of the Programme.This path involves all educational stakeholders, including students, in order to make use of the contributions of everyone with first-hand knowledge of the Study Programme. Improvement is therefore a day to day development, concerning all aspects of teaching:from the lesson timetable to the publication of on-line programmes, from classroom management to exam methods, and the actualdesign of the Programme. This is what happens in each phase:

• Planning: the Study Programme is the result of a proposal from the teaching structures and approved by the Academic Bodies.

• Management: Schools, Departments and Study Programmes manage the activities required to ensure teaching. The activities areorganised as follows:

• Internal assessment: every Study Programme periodically assesses its own results, evaluating, for example, the number ofenrolled students, the number of withdrawing students, student opinions etc.; in this way, the strengths and weaknesses, as well asany implemented improvement actions, are highlighted. This phase is organised as follows:


27

What we do Who does what

Definition, gathering and publication of evaluation dataAccording to the general guidelines of the University and nationaland international standards, are defined the tools through whichshould be evaluated the results (indicators). The survey data tobe evaluated are published every year on the Report of the StudyProgram.

Academic Bodies

Self-AssessmentThe Schools and Study Programmes assess the effectiveness ofthe previously adopted solutions, analyse the progress of theirlearning activities and draw up proposals for improvement.

Schools and Study Programmes

Internal audit

The results of the self-assessment process are reviewed in thefollowing phases:

• Analysis: the University "Presidio di Qualità" analysesthe review documents, considering the ability to identifyproblems, propose solutions and the overall development ofthe internal quality assurance system.

• Review: The observations on the results obtained and thegood practices adopted are examined together with thepersons in charge of the Schools and Study Programmesin meetings organised by scientific-disciplinary field. Thepersons in charge receive the observations and inputs onthe areas for development and the actions to be adopted infuture to improve results.

• Sharing: the conclusions of the review activities aresubmitted to the Academic Bodies and the UniversityEvaluation Board.

Presidio della Qualità

Vice Rector for Teaching and Education

Academic Bodies

• Improvement: on the basis of the results of the internal audit, the Schools and Study Programmes plan improvement activities,to ensure that the Study Programmes increasingly respond to the needs of society. The cycle then starts over again, with thedefinition of actions to be implemented, the results of which are in turn verified, in a continuous path that guarantees the qualityof education.

F. GLOSSARY TERMSAdditional Learning Requirements

Students enrolling in the first year of a first cycle or single cycle degree and who, following the results of the entrance exams establishedfor each study programme, do not possess the knowledge required for access to the programme, are assigned additional learningrequirements (OFA).The OFA are fulfilled by passing an assessment test defined by the programme.The non-fulfilment of the requirements by the date set by the Academic Bodies and published on the University Portal will lead to there-enrolment in the first year of the programme.

AlmaLaureaAlmaLaurea is an innovative online database service of graduates’ curriculum vitae (1,890,000 CVs, from 64 Italian universities as of 26/05/2014), which offers a link between graduates, universities and businesses.Created in 1994 on the initiative of the Statistical Observatory of the University of Bologna, managed by a consortium of Italianuniversities with the support of the Ministry of Education, University and Research, the purpose AlmaLaurea is to act as a point ofcontact between businesses and graduates, a reference within universities for anyone (students, businesses, etc.) working in the field ofuniversity studies, employment and the condition of young people at different levels.

Average of similar study programmes (belonging to the same group)Average of the Study Programmes (which belong to the subject group)Calculated average which refers to University of Bologna study programmes of the same cycle which belong to the subject group. The University of Bologna has divided its Study Programmes into four groups, composed as follows:

• BIOMEDICAL group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Pharmacy, Biotechnology and Sport Science; Medicine; Agricultureand Veterinary Medicine

• SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Engineering and Architecture; Sciences

• SOCIAL SCIENCES group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Economics, Management, and Statistics; Law, PoliticalSciences

• HUMANITIES group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Arts, Humanities, and Cultural Heritage; Foreign Languages andLiteratures, Interpreting and Translation; Psychology and Education

CFU University Learning CreditsUniversity Learning Credits (CFU) were introduced under Italian Ministerial Decree no. 509/99 to comply with European legislation,and are a measurement of the volume of learning, including individual study, required of students; generally 1 CFU corresponds to 25hours of a student’s “overall learning effort”.

ClassDegree classes group together study programmes of the same level and with the same key learning outcomes and available learningactivities for a given number of credits and in sectors which are identified as indispensable. The features of the classes are set nationally,by Ministerial Decree, and are therefore common to all universities.

CohortCohort refers to a group of students enrolled in the same academic year.

Enrolment statusIn terms of enrolment, students may be:

● Regularly enrolled: students enrolled for as many or fewer years than the legal duration of the study programme, who do notfall into any of the following categories;

● Not aligned with the exam schedule: students who, without having graduated, have enrolled in all the years of the studyprogramme and which, for programmes with compulsory attendance, have obtained all attendance certificates;

● Repeating: students re-enrolling in the same year of a programme again. Starting from academic year 2009-2010, students whohave not fulfilled the assigned additional learning requirements within the deadline have to enrol in the 1st year as repeatingstudents.

Entrance exam


29

The number of students sitting the entrance exam for the Study Programme. Concerns the programmes with restricted access. Themethods of managing the call for applications and the list of candidates, including the methods for filling any unclaimed places, mayvary from year to year.The table shows the number of places available for the study programme, the number of candidatures and the number ofpartecipations.For all programmes with restricted access, candidates are required to sit an entrance exam and there are a limited number of placesavailable. The entrance exam is a test which is used to draw up a graded list of candidates; students may enrol in the programmeaccording to their place in the list.
