Teaching

In order to be admitted to the Degree Course, it is necessary to hold an upper secondary school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad, recognized as suitable by current regulations.

At the same time, the students must possess adequate knowledge of general culture and logic-mathematics, as well as text comprehension skills.

Furthermore, required knowledge and language skills consistent with the language of delivery of the Course of Study and/or individual curriculum.
The verification of the possession of the knowledge required for access is done by means of an appropriate test. 

In case the aforementioned test gives a negative result, the students will have to fulfill the following additional educational obligations (OFA):

• Taking the Contemporary History exam for the History of Contemporary Culture learning pathway, in the case of a negative assessment of general culture/text comprehension knowledge.

• Compulsory attendance of a remedial course delivered online in the case of a negative outcome of the language proficiency assessment.
  Any OFAs must be fulfilled within the first year of the course.

Any OFAs must be fulfilled within the first year of the course.

The Course of Study supports the students through 4 different types of tutoring:

• Orientation and soft skill-aimed tutoring, carried out by the Educational Coordinator, who assists the students in the stages of orientation, insertion into university life, monitoring of the learning pathway and motivation (always having as a reference the planned results), support in the completion of bureaucratic procedures, the latter in collaboration with the Student Administration Office;
• international orientation tutoring, carried out by the International office, which offers personalized assistance to both international students enrolled in the Course of Study and Erasmus students;
• educational tutoring, entrusted to teaching support figures (teaching assistants, doctoral students, holders of supplementary teaching contracts, etc.), who support the students with supplementary teaching activities related to specific teachings;
• specialized tutoring, carried out by the Inclusion Education Coordinator, for students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (DSA) and special educational needs (BES), aimed at reducing the obstacles that could prevent their full inclusion in the university environment.

The workshop activities are designed as moments of learning by doing, through which the students will acquire and/or refine soft skills (team work, problem solving, leadership, communication skills, etc.), increasingly fundamental in the labour maket. Furthermore, workshops represent opportunities for in-depth experiential learning in direct contact with professionals in the field.

In order to enrich and vary the offering of hands-on workshops and orient it to the real needs of professional positioning in an industry that is constantly and rapidly evolving, the DAMS workshops change every year, involving professional lecturers already active in the performing arts and audiovisual system.

The workshops planned for the year 2023 and 2024 are:

CORPO, VOCE, REGIA

Still enriching its educational offerings with hands-on workshops by leading artists/performers in film, theater and TV, DAMS University Link is organizing a series of workshops aimed at those who want to measure themselves with directing, acting and writing.

The Course of Study reserves special credits for orientation training internships, to be carried out within the University, as well as internships and apprenticeships at institutions, agencies, organizations and foundations, enterprises, such as:

The final dissertation consists in the discussion, before a special committee, of a written paper prepared under the guidance of a professor, on a topic related to a discipline in which the student has taken an examination.

While not requiring specific characteristics of originality, the paper should demonstrate the acquired mastery of the analytical tools learned in the course of study, the ability to integrate the diversified disciplinary knowledge learned, as well as the communication skills suitable for a fruitful entry into the labour market and/or the continuation of the educational path in the two-year master's degree program.

The paper may be written and discussed in Italian and/or English.

The manner of conducting the final examination and its timing are defined in the academic calendar, published on the University website and communicated by the Student Administration Office.
