Field Trips can account as credit-bearing academic experiences that may award credits in the following disciplinary areas: Art History (AH), Cultural Studies (CULSTU), Humanities (HUM), Italian Studies (ITLAN), Anthropology (ANT), Photography (PHOTO), Art (ART), Culinary Studies (CNARYSTU), and Interdisciplinary Studies (INTDISTU). Upon approval from their home university, students must indicate the specific course code under which they wish to receive credit, in order to be assigned appropriate academic training and assessment aligned with that discipline. Each Field Trip includes:

an ad hoc syllabus, tailored to the selected academic area;
assignment to a designated instructor responsible for instruction and assessment.

Should a specific destination fail to meet the minimum number of participants, Unicollege reserves the right to activate an alternative destination, while ensuring full academic and thematic consistency with the approved syllabus. This decision is final and not subject to appeal. Full details of the experience,including travel dates, schedule, assigned instructor, and logistical information,will be communicated to students prior to the start of the semester. An additional fee of € 200,00 applies and includes transportation, a light meal, and academic instruction.
