D.1.2. ADDITIONAL DATA ON STUDENTS’ STARTING THEIR UNIVERSITY CAREERS

D.1.2.1. REGISTERED FOR THE ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS OF THE STUDY PROGRAMMES WITHRESTRICTED ACCESS

For all study programme with restricted access is expected a maximum number of available places and selection procedure suitableto develop classification of the students which could enroll to the study programme. The procedure for management of the call forapplication and the classification, unclaimed places included, may vary from year to year. The selection may be specific to a studyprogramme or could be part of an examination covering several programmes from the same university or from other universities.The following definitions apply:

• Available places = the number of places estimated by the call for applications of the Study Programme or defined bysubsequent legal provisions; except any additional places reserved according to specific characteristics of the programme (e.g. forsome international study programmes, are not included places for foreign students selected from other universities).

• Number of participants in the exam = number of actual participations (when the test are organized in several exam sessions,the data refers to the total of the participants for each session).

When an examination is covering several programmes, the table shows the number of participations indicating the study programme astheir first choice.For the health’s study programmes are shown the candidates registered at the test indicating the study programme if is indicated as first,second or third choice. For single cycle degree programmes of the School of Medicine is indicated the total number of enrolled on thejoint selection.

E. FIND OUT MORE: THE QUALITY OF YOUR STUDYPROGRAMME

The University of Bologna has identified its objectives as the personal, cultural and professional growth of students and the improvement of thequality of learning, also in relation to the needs of society (Strategic Plan 2013/2015).Students, employers and society as a whole, have the right to effective learning for individual and intellectual growth, to develop criticalsense and to prepare for the world of work.In the Statute and the Strategic Plan 2013/2015 the University of Bologna acknowledges its responsibility in guaranteeing the quality ofits study programmes, and for this purpose adopts an "internal quality assurance system”. The Internal Quality Assurance system The internal quality assurance system is a set of processes and responsibilities adopted to guarantee the quality of Study Programmes atthe University of Bologna.The guarantee of the quality of a Study Programme is the correspondence of the results achieved with the set objectives, in thefollowing phases:

• Plan: defining the objectives

• Do: implementing the planned actions

• Check: checking that the objectives have been achieved

• Act: planning improvement action

This path responds to the expectations of students, guides teaching behaviour and provides indicators for the assessment of results.Self-assessment is based on the analysis of significant data (for example, the number of students graduating in line with the examschedule, students' opinions and the employment rates of graduates) and highlights strengths and weaknesses in order to reflect on theachieved results, critically consider one's own working methods and take steps for the continual improvement of the Programme.This path involves all educational stakeholders, including students, in order to make use of the contributions of everyone with first-hand knowledge of the Study Programme. Improvement is therefore a day to day development, concerning all aspects of teaching:from the lesson timetable to the publication of on-line programmes, from classroom management to exam methods, and the actualdesign of the Programme. This is what happens in each phase:

• Planning: the Study Programme is the result of a proposal from the teaching structures and approved by the Academic Bodies.

• Management: Schools, Departments and Study Programmes manage the activities required to ensure teaching. The activities areorganised as follows:

• Internal assessment: every Study Programme periodically assesses its own results, evaluating, for example, the number ofenrolled students, the number of withdrawing students, student opinions etc.; in this way, the strengths and weaknesses, as well asany implemented improvement actions, are highlighted. This phase is organised as follows:

26


What we do Who does what

Definition, gathering and publication of evaluation dataAccording to the general guidelines of the University and nationaland international standards, are defined the tools through whichshould be evaluated the results (indicators). The survey data tobe evaluated are published every year on the Report of the StudyProgram.

Academic Bodies

Self-AssessmentThe Schools and Study Programmes assess the effectiveness ofthe previously adopted solutions, analyse the progress of theirlearning activities and draw up proposals for improvement.

Schools and Study Programmes

Internal audit

The results of the self-assessment process are reviewed in thefollowing phases:

• Analysis: the University "Presidio di Qualità" analysesthe review documents, considering the ability to identifyproblems, propose solutions and the overall development ofthe internal quality assurance system.

• Review: The observations on the results obtained and thegood practices adopted are examined together with thepersons in charge of the Schools and Study Programmesin meetings organised by scientific-disciplinary field. Thepersons in charge receive the observations and inputs on theareas for development and the actions to be adopted in futureto improve results.

• Sharing: the conclusions of the review activities are submittedto the Academic Bodies and the University EvaluationBoard.

Presidio della Qualità

Vice Rector for Teaching and Education

Academic Bodies

• Improvement: on the basis of the results of the internal audit, the Schools and Study Programmes plan improvement activities,to ensure that the Study Programmes increasingly respond to the needs of society. The cycle then starts over again, with thedefinition of actions to be implemented, the results of which are in turn verified, in a continuous path that guarantees the qualityof education.

F. GLOSSARY TERMSAdditional Learning Requirements

Students enrolling in the first year of a first cycle or single cycle degree and who, following the results of the entrance exams establishedfor each study programme, do not possess the knowledge required for access to the programme, are assigned additional learningrequirements (OFA).The OFA are fulfilled by passing an assessment test defined by the programme.The non-fulfilment of the requirements by the date set by the Academic Bodies and published on the University Portal will lead to there-enrolment in the first year of the programme.

AlmaLaureaAlmaLaurea is an innovative online database service of graduates’ curriculum vitae (2,280,000 CVs, from 73 Italian universities asof 24/02/2016), which offers a link between graduates, universities and businesses.Created in 1994 on the initiative of the Statistical Observatory of the University of Bologna, managed by a consortium of Italianuniversities with the support of the Ministry of Education, University and Research, the purpose AlmaLaurea is to act as a point ofcontact between businesses and graduates, a reference within universities for anyone (students, businesses, etc.) working in the field ofuniversity studies, employment and the condition of young people at different levels.

Average of similar study programmes (belonging to the same group)Average of the Study Programmes (which belong to the subject group)Calculated average which refers to University of Bologna study programmes of the same cycle which belong to the subject group. The University of Bologna has divided its Study Programmes into four groups, composed as follows:

• BIOMEDICAL group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Pharmacy, Biotechnology and Sport Science; Medicine; Agricultureand Veterinary Medicine

• SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Engineering and Architecture; Sciences

• SOCIAL SCIENCES group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Economics, Management, and Statistics; Law, PoliticalSciences

• HUMANITIES group: Study Programmes of the Schools of Arts, Humanities, and Cultural Heritage; Foreign Languages andLiteratures, Interpreting and Translation; Psychology and Education

CFU University Learning CreditsUniversity Learning Credits (CFU) were introduced under Italian Ministerial Decree no. 509/99 to comply with European legislation,and are a measurement of the volume of learning, including individual study, required of students; generally 1 CFU corresponds to 25hours of a student’s “overall learning effort”.

ClassDegree classes group together study programmes of the same level and with the same key learning outcomes and available learningactivities for a given number of credits and in sectors which are identified as indispensable. The features of the classes are set nationally,by Ministerial Decree, and are therefore common to all universities.

CohortGroup of students beginning their students career on the same academic year. Students which have been transferred or which enrolledto pass to another Study Programme, or enrolled to a second degree are not included.From the publication of this study programme report is updated the procedure of the selection of the cohorts: the student belongs tothe cohort of the study programme on which one has been enrolled on 31 December of the year of the beginning of student career.

First year enrolmentsThis includes all students enrolled in the first year, including those joining the study programme in its first year through transferrals, aswell as those enrolled in the first year but not for the first time (e.g. repeating students).

Passages and transfersPassage: when a student applies to move to a different study programme from the one enrolled in the previous year, within the sameuniversity.Transfer: when a student transfers from a study programme in one university to any programme in another university.

28


RepeatingStudent re-enrolling in the same year of a programme again. Starting from academic year 2009-2010, students who have not fulfilledthe assigned additional learning requirements within the deadline have to enrol in the 1st year as repeating students.

University DataWarehouseIn information service for the managers of the University of Bologna organisational departments which gathers, integrates andreorganises data from various sources and makes it available for analysis and evaluation for the purposes of planning and decision-making.

Withdrawal from studiesSuspension of studies by students who do not enroll in the next academic year or who drop out from the studies.
