PRIMAVERA 2012 THE LOREM IPSUMS

CAMPUS, LOCATION AND FACILITIES

Academic Calendar

The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Rome Tor Vergata was founded in 1982; presently this Faculty offers Undergraduate and Postgraduate studies in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Media and Communication Science. The School of Science of the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” is located in a building which houses four academic departments: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics. On the ground floor and first floor professors’ rooms and labs are located. The second floor houses the classrooms, the scientific library, the Administrative Office for Students, Students’ Service office, Offices of the Dean and Erasmus Students Office. The Faculty has a range of study facilities supported. These include: • 38 classrooms; • A scientific library, with study spaces for individual and small groups;

borrowing; PC workstations including the use of Internet for researches; • 15 Didactic and Multimedia Laboratories. • 115 Laboratories dedicated to research and graduate studies;

Finally, the building of the School of Science is located in Via della Ricerca Scientifica, 1.

The academic year is divided, for the different Degree Courses, in modules made of lessons and/or laboratory practical work, at the end of which exam tests are held. The courses that Erasmus students take are the same as those taken by Italian students studying for their degree. Lessons usually start on the first week of October and are divided into trimesters or semesters. Exams are held in three sessions: Autumn (September), Winter (February), Summer (June-July). A student prospectus, with a list of the Courses and the programmes is issued at the beginning of the academic year. Classes are interrupted during Christmas time (from 20 December to 10 January) and in August.

Examination Period

Course examinations usually consist of an oral discussion, which may be

completed by other tests in written form.

Exams are held in three sessions: Winter (in February, for semester

courses held during the first semester), Summer (mid-June to mid-July) and

Autumn (mid-September to mid October). Exact dates will be displayed on the

boards

on the walls of the deanery.

CFU credits represent a value allocated to modules to describe the student

workload required to complete them, and are different from the marks a

student gets in the examinations. The minimum mark required to pass an exam

is 18/30; the board of the examiners may unanimously decide to give

the maximum mark (30/30) cum laude.

Accomodation

Exchange students can apply for housing in the new residential structure located close to all of the faculties of Tor Vergata. For further information about the residence, please visit the Campus X website: http://www.campusx.it/en/index.aspx

For private accomodation exchange students can visit these web sites:

- www.porta-portese.it;

- www.casaaffitti.com

Cost of Living

An estimation of the cost of living can be a very helpful tool to those who are planning on moving to Rome. One should take into account that cost of living varies from neighorhood to neighborhood depending on location and housing available.

The minimum costs of living for a student is about € 900 per month, including fod, personal care, housing and books.

Health insurance

Meals

Any citizen of a EU country has the right to medical treatment, both urgent or necessary in exactly the same way as all Italian citizens. In order to make use of the services offered by the National Health Service students must register with the facility (hospital, first aid, general practitioner) by showing the Europe Union card or the temporary substitute certificate.

Students enrolled at the University for Foreigners may eat at the University canteens of the Faculty of Economics, of Law and of Engineering. The cost of a meal is about € 2.50.

Study Programs

The Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences offers 9 Undergraduate Degree Courses and 11 Postgraduate Degree Courses for the academic year 2014/15. Here follows the list of the Courses: FIRST LEVEL COURSES:

� Applied Chemistry � Biological Sciences � Biotechnology � Chemistry � Computer Science � Materials Science � Mathematics � Media and Communication Science � Physics http://www.scienze.uniroma2.it/?cat=4&catParent=34

SECOND LEVEL COURSES: � Bioinformatics � Cellular and Molecular Biology and Biomedical Sciences � Chemistry � Computer Science � Evolutionary Biology, Ecology and Applied Anthropology � Human Food Science � Industrial Biotechnology � Materials Science and Technology � Pharmacy � Physics � Pure and Applied Mathematics http://www.scienze.uniroma2.it/?cat=5&catParent=34 -

The organisation and evaluation system of the Degree Courses is based on ECTS credit system, to allow students mobility across the European Community and validation of the exams taken abroad. 1 CFU Credit of the Faculty of Science is equivalent to 1 International Credit (ECTS). Each credit requires 25 hours’ student work, that include lessons, laboratory practice and private study. In order to get their Final Degree of the First Level students are required to obtain 180 CFU credits in three years.
