CAMPUS, LOCATION AND FACILITIES
Academic Calendar
The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Rome Tor Vergata was founded in
1982; presently this Faculty offers Undergraduate and Postgraduate studies in
Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Media and
Communication Science.
The School of Science of the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” is located in a
building which houses four academic departments: Biology, Chemistry, Physics,
Chemistry, Mathematics.
On the ground floor and first floor professors’ rooms and labs are located. The
second floor houses the classrooms, the scientific library, the Administrative Office
for Students, Students’ Service office, Offices of the Dean and Erasmus Students
Office.
The Faculty has a range of study facilities supported. These include:
• 36 classrooms;
• A scientific library, with study spaces for individual and small groups;
borrowing; PC workstations including the use of Internet for researches;
• 15 Didactic and Multimedia Laboratories.
• a 300 sits Auditorioum (Aula Gismondi);
• 115 Laboratories dedicated to research and graduate studies;
Finally, the building of the School of Science is located in Via della Ricerca
Scientifica, 1.
The academic year is divided, for the different Degree Courses, in modules made of
lessons and/or laboratory practical work, at the end of which exam tests are held.
The courses that Erasmus students take are the same as those taken by Italian students studying for their degree.
Lessons usually start on the first week of October and are divided into trimesters or
semesters. Exams are held in three sessions: Autumn (September), Winter (February), Summer
(June-July). A student prospectus, with a list of the Courses and the programmes is issued at the
beginning of the academic year. Classes are interrupted during Christmas time (from 20 December to 10 January) and in
August.

Examination Period
Course examinations usually consist of an oral discussion, which may
be
completed by other tests in written form.
Exams are held in three sessions: Winter (in February, for semester courses
held during the first semester), Summer (mid-June to mid-July) and Autumn
(mid-September to mid October). Exact dates will be displayed on the boards
on the walls of the deanery.
CFU credits represent a value allocated to modules to describe the student
workload required to complete them, and are different from the marks a
student gets in the examinations. The minimum mark required to pass an
exam is 18/30; the board of the examiners may unanimously decide to give
the maximum mark (30/30) cum laude.

Study Programs
The School of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences offers 10 Undergraduate Degree Courses and 15 Postgraduate Degree Courses for the academic year 2008-09. Here follows the list of the Undergraduate Degree Courses, with a short description of each of them: FIST LEVEL COURSES:
� Applied Chemistry (at the detached seat of Ceccano) � Atmosphere Physics and Meteorology � Biological Sciences � Biotechnology � Chemistry � Computer Science � Materials Science � Mathematics � Media and Communication Science � Physics
SECOND LEVEL COURSES: � Applied Mathematics � Biology and Human Evolution � Bioinformatics � Cellular and Molecular Biology � Chemistry � Computer Science � Evolutionary Biology and Ecology � Human Food Science � Industrial Biotechnology (as from academic year 2009- 2010) � Materials Science � Materials Science and Technology � Mathematics � Mathematical elaboration of images and signals � Media and Communication Science � Science of the Universe � Physics
The organisation and evaluation system of the Degree Courses is based on ECTS credit system, to allow students mobility across the European Community and validation of the exams taken abroad. 1 CFU Credit of the Faculty of Science is equivalent to 1 International Credit (ECTS). Each credit requires 25 hours’ student work, that include lessons, laboratory practice and private study. In order to get their Final Degree students are required to obtain 180 CFU credits in three years.
