Povinně volitelné předměty (54 kr.)
Students ideally choose either the philological-literary curriculum (blocks 1+2) or the curriculum of linguistic (blocks 3+4), then they must take 54 credits of type B, most of which within the selected curriculum (ideally at least 32 credits, subject to the actual offer), plus 16 credits from the group of common subjects (block 5). Almost all the compulsory-optional subjects offered by the section of Italian studies can be taken more than once because the programme of the courses changes every year. It is recommended that students choose the curriculum with regard to the future topic of the diploma thesis. Students can consult the suitability of selection of subjects with the guarantor of the study programme and the supervisor of the diploma thesis. In the first semester, students are advised to take subjects from both curricula. Subjects that are not listed within the template (except for courses attended abroad, for example within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme) cannot be accounted for as credits of type B.
