Requirements for access (art. 6 D.M. 509/99)

In order to access the degree course in Fashion and Desing, it is necessary to have a diploma in secondary education or other qualification obtained abroad, legally recognized. A set of specific knowledge is not required. Appropriate tests of basic knowledge may be introduced for all students and, in particular, for those who have followed a curriculum of secondary education that does not deal with all the subjects relevant to their preparation. If the evaluation of the initial preparation is not successful, the student may be admitted with an educational debt. In order to limit the onset of educational debts, the Board of the degree course may provide for the introduction of preparatory educational activities to be carried out before any evaluation test. These activities may also be carried out in collaboration with institutions of higher secondary education, on the basis of appropriate agreements

Final exam

In order to be admitted to the graduation exam, the student must have passed successfully the assessment of the teaching activities. The final examination for the degree consists of a paper regarding the subjects of the degree program; the paper should be developed under the supervision of a professor and the assistance of one or more disciplinary tutors, including at least one member of the degree course. In the evaluation of the final test the quality of the work will be considered, as well as the synthesis ability and the quality of the presentation in the written and oral form of the work.

eCampus University was established as an Online University with the Ministerial Decree of 30 January 2006. Its main offices are at the former IBM centre in Novedrate (CO), in a campus in the middle of Brianza’s peaceful greenery with 270 rooms, spaces and areas of interest available to students, professors and Italian and foreign visitors for the exams and activities that supplement the curriculum, such as intensive courses, seminars and conferences. The campus, designed by the architect Bruno Morassutti, is located in a landmark of modern architecture. It is made up of 12 interconnected towers on various levels in a 10ha park, rich in green spaces and sporting facilities.

As well to its large and efficient operating headquarters, eCampus University is present throughout the country: not only can the courses it offers to be taken from anywhere at any time, but it also possesses an extensive network of tutors around Italy, who offer personal teaching support and advice to students. This network of tutors is probably our University’s greatest asset since it provides a prompt reply to all our students’ personal needs. The IT structure has been designed to create an SIA (University IT system) which integrates all functions and allows the monitoring of each student’s learning process in all its cognitive, psychological and motivational aspects, while also covering all logistical and administrative requirements.
