3 - Guidelines for preparing an individual study plan. To guide students in their choices, the courses offered by the Master's Degree program are divided into the following macro-thematic areas, called pillars. Within each pillar, the courses are divided into sub-areas related to applied or theoretical domains. Acquiring at least 36 credits (6 courses) from a single pillar ensures thematic focus of the study program; at the same time, choosing at least 18 credits (3 courses) from pillars other than this one ensures that the study program is not excessively vertical.

8 - Free-choice credits.

Students must earn the 12 credits by freely choosing from all courses offered by the University, including those listed in the previous tables, according to the criteria set out in the relevant section of this document, provided they are compatible with their academic program.

Students may also request credit recognition for training activities at external institutions by submitting the relevant certification. Each certification can yield a maximum of 3 credits, and up to 2 certifications can be recognized. Students wishing to request certification recognition must complete the "application" form available at https://www.unimi.it/it/studiare/servizi-gli-studenti/segreterie-infostudenti/modulistica-generale and submit it to their program secretary's office along with a copy of the certifications obtained.

The evaluation will be conducted by the relevant commission based on the following parameters:
· Timeframe: the certification must have been obtained no more than 5 years ago.
· Specificity: The certification must cover skills related to those covered by the relevant degree program.
· Specialization: The certification must cover specialized and/or professionalizing skills.
· Level: The certification must demonstrate intermediate or advanced skills. Basic and entry-level certifications are excluded.

Specific courses offered by the Milan Conservatory
Please note that, within a collaboration agreement for scientific and educational activities between the University of Milan and the "Giuseppe Verdi" Conservatory of Milan, an arrangement is in place that allows students to include, among their free‑choice activities, certain courses offered by the Conservatory.
The list of these courses is provided in the Specific Agreement document, which can be accessed from the Music Informatics Degree Programme website at the following link:
