School Regulations

Presentation of the Individual Educational Paths
All students, after their enrolment, have to fill in the individual educational path according to the deadlines indicated on Faculty's website. In such a path, students have to indicate their choices as for possible suggested path, compulsory optional groups, and extracurricular exams (elective exams). Without the presentation of the individual educational path, it is not possible to put one's name down for an elective course, being impossible thus to take the exams. Students can put down their names for and take all other compulsory exams. 
The individual educational path must include the choices for the next years too, but these options can be modified at the start of the second year.

Admission Requirements 
An essential requirement is a solid basic preparation on all psychological areas: general psychology, psychobiology, physiological psychology, development and educational psychology, social and industrial psychology, dynamic psychology, clinical psychology, methods of psychological assessment, statistical and psychometric methods; it is necessary as well to have obtained in previous studies at least 90 ECTS in the SSD M-PSI. 
The verification of such a preparation will take place by means of an examination based on the previous curriculum. This kind of examination is established in the Programme's rules, which discipline the criteria for the evaluation of the previous training and the type and contents of the examination.

Features of the Final Test 
The final test consists of a presentation and discussion of a Masters Degree thesis (presented according to Faculty's directions) in front of a board appointed according to the University's rules. The thesis, realised under the supervision of a teacher, will contain, as an original scientific report, an empirical research, a re-elaboration of scientific literature, or a critical discussion on a professional experience related to course's educational goals. Personal commitment to prepare the thesis - that must show the theoretical and methodological competences acquired during the educational activities - will be in proportion to the educational credits assigned to such a final work.

Transfer from Other Programmes and Validation of Exams
The rules for transfers and validations are established in the University's general rules.

For anything that is not established in these school rules, please see the rules of the Faculty of Medicine and Psychology of Sapienza University.
