Notes
Nel Piano di studi in nessun caso è possibile inserire due volte lo stesso corso (biennalizzare), né inserire un corso già sostenuto durante la laurea triennale. Questa regola vale anche per i corsi di 12 CFU costituti da corsi –a e -b e per i corsi –a e –b che vanno a formare un corso da 12 CFU. Per esempio, non si può inserire di nuovo Storia romana (12 CFU) se si è sostenuto Storia romana–a (6 CFU) e non si può inserire di nuovo Storia romana -b (6 CFU) se si è sostenuto Storia romana (12 CFU). Questi vincoli valgono anche per i piani individuali. Tutte le note e tutti i vincoli indicati devono essere osservati. La non osservanza degli stessi potrebbe portare alla stesura di un piano di studi (e quindi di una carriera studente) che potrebbe risultare illegittimo e al limite invalidare la laurea conseguita. I corsi con la dicitura “Un. di Bergamo” devono essere seguiti presso l’Università di Bergamo e i relativi esami devono essere svolti in quella sede.

Va inoltre tenuto presente che a partire dal 2018 per partecipare ai concorsi relativi alle classi sopraindicate lo studente dovrà aver conseguito 24 CFU in corsi certificati appartenenti ad almeno tre dei seguenti diversi ambiti disciplinari: a) pedagogia, pedagogia speciale e didattica dell’inclusione; b) psicologia; c) antropologia; d) metodologie e tecnologie didattiche generali.
