YOU CAN ALSO...

mix courses from different curricula

just beware of overlaps in time schedule

attend many other courses taught in Italian

and also their timetable can overlap

Remember you have to book your exam

it is not automatic at the end of the course

ask the lecturers, they are (mostly) understanding
