Regulations
Art. 1 – Educational Objectives
1. The Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Construction Process Management – Project Management aims to train a professional figure with expertise in the construction sector, capable of operating in the design, implementation, and management of public and private works throughout all phases of the building process.
2. The training of this professional figure—complementary to other roles within the design and construction chain—responds to the labour market’s demand for construction process professionals with technical and managerial skills, able to address the increasing complexity of administrative, technical, and economic project phases.
3. This professional profile is therefore strongly multidisciplinary, enabling graduates to operate independently, to understand design issues from the planning stage, and to assess their physical, economic, and social impacts, in coordination with other professionals involved in the complex management of building processes, with particular attention to the complexity of contemporary architecture as well as the rehabilitation and redevelopment of existing buildings and settlements.
4. Ultimately, the Programme aims to train a new type of professional capable of engaging in all technical and managerial phases of a project, assuming responsibility for processes, and contributing to both the conception and implementation of projects with a profile that is distinct yet complementary to traditional design roles.

Art. 2 – Study Programme
1. Graduates in Construction Process Management – Project Management will possess a solid multidisciplinary background, including fundamental knowledge (mathematics, history, representation), core disciplinary areas (architecture, urban planning, building construction, environment, and construction process management), and related fields such as law and economics. This preparation enables them to analyse and understand the physical, historical-cultural, formal, social, environmental, functional, technological, and economic characteristics of buildings and settlements, in relation to both their origins and contemporary context.
2. Foundational learning activities (mainly concentrated in the first year) include adequate knowledge of mathematical analysis and architectural history, complemented by technical drawing and representation aimed at construction planning.
3. Core disciplines in the second year focus on the ability to interpret issues related to architecture, urban planning, conservation, and integrated building management, with particular emphasis on Architectural Technology, Structural Engineering, and Building Physics.
4. The degree also provides access to Master’s programmes and may be complemented by first-level postgraduate courses.
5. One CFU (ECTS credit) corresponds to 25 hours of total student workload, including classroom activities and individual study.

Art. 3 – List of Courses
The educational activities, course list, modular structure, allocated credits, and learning objectives are published annually through:
a) the Ministry’s educational offer database;
b) the Degree Programme catalogue (https://corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it/);
c) the Faculty website (http://www.architettura.uniroma1.it/).

Art. 4 – Credits and Prerequisites
1. Credits assigned to each course are indicated in the Degree Programme catalogue.
2. The following prerequisites apply:
a) Structural Mechanics requires prior completion of Mathematical Analysis;
b) Science and Technology of Structures requires prior completion of Structural Mechanics;
c) Urban and Building Systems requires prior completion of Environmental Energy Management.

Art. 5 – Elective Activities
1. Students must complete 12 CFU of elective courses.
2. The Faculty annually offers optional courses consistent with the programme.
3. Students may also select courses from other programmes within the Faculty or University.
4. Courses outside the Faculty require approval by the Programme’s Teaching Committee.

Art. 6 – Admission and Transfers from other degree programmes
1. Admission to the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Construction Process Management – Project Management is open access.
Open-access programmes allow students to enrol directly in the first year without undergoing a selection process; however, an assessment test of prior knowledge (or entry-level competencies) is предусмотрed, which may be taken either before or after enrolment. This test is intended to identify any gaps in the student’s foundational preparation. The type of test, as well as the procedures for the assignment and fulfilment of any Additional Learning Requirements (OFA), are defined in the annual Admission Call issued by the University, in accordance with the provisions set out in the Annual Single Report of the Degree Programme (SUA-CdS). Failure to fulfil the OFA will result, starting from the following academic year, in the impossibility of taking examinations related to years subsequent to the first.
2. The procedures governing transfers or changes from other degree programmes are defined each year in the Admission Call published by the University and are evaluated by the Degree Programme Council in accordance with current regulations.

Art. 7 – Organisation of Teaching Activities and Assessment Methods
1. Teaching activities are predominantly delivered in a traditional (in-person) format and consist of lectures, specialist seminars, and mid-term assessments, subject to University guidelines on the use of distance learning tools. Educational activities are organised into single-discipline courses as well as integrated courses composed of multiple teaching units (modules) within one or more scientific-disciplinary sectors.
2. Teaching activities are structured according to a semester-based system.
3. Each academic year, the Degree Programme may subdivide individual teaching activities into parallel course sections, based on enrolment numbers, in order to ensure greater organisational efficiency.
4. The examination or assessment of suitability (pass/fail) verifies the achievement of the learning outcomes defined in the Programme Catalogue (Manifesto degli Studi).
5. For integrated and coordinated courses, which must be attended as a single subject, the lecturers responsible for the individual modules participate in a collective evaluation of the student’s overall performance, according to procedures established by the teaching staff. Such assessment, consisting of the synthesis of the evaluations provided by the individual instructors involved, must in all cases be conducted as a single, unified, and simultaneous examination.
6. Assessments may be structured into multiple stages or partial evaluations.
7. Examination committees are composed of at least two members, at least one of whom must be a permanent faculty member. Subject experts may be appointed to the committee upon a reasoned proposal by the course instructor and approval by the Faculty Council.
8. Examination committees have a maximum score of thirty points for the assessment of academic performance. The examination is passed with a minimum grade of eighteen out of thirty. Honours (cum laude) may be awarded only by unanimous decision of the committee members present.
9. All learning activities, except those concluding with a pass/fail assessment, result in a final graded mark.

Art. 8 – Foreign Language
1. Foreign language proficiency is verified through a pass/fail test awarding the relevant credits.

Art. 9 – Additional Learning Activities
1. The rules for the acquisition of CFU (ECTS credits) related to additional learning activities are defined in relation to the following educational offer (to be chosen from options a, b, c):
a) Faculty practical workshops;
b) workshops, seminars, and institutional courses (leading to the acquisition of CFU, either organised by the Faculty or undertaken and certified by Italian or international institutions and universities, for which recognition may be requested);
c) other courses or educational and training activities approved by the Programme Director.
For the recognition of the relevant credits, certificates attesting to the acquisition of IT skills, knowledge of a second language, participation in internships or traineeships, or other educational activities duly described and supported by official documentation, shall be accepted, subject to validation by the Programme Director or a delegated representative.

Art. 10 – Internship / Workshops / Other Activities
1. An internship is foreseen at construction companies and industrial manufacturers in the sector, technical offices of public administrations, private companies operating in real estate management, or design studios and engineering firms. The internship is allocated 10 CFU. Internships must be activated through the Sapienza Internship Management System via the TSP platform.
2. The internship may be replaced by workshops and/or other training activities, including those proposed by the student, which must be previously authorised and subsequently validated and recorded by the Programme Director, also upon proposal of individual lecturers affiliated with the Degree Programme.
3. Such activities may also form part of individual or collective pathways agreed within the Degree Programme, including those involving interdepartmental research centres of the University, or collaborations with other nationally and/or internationally recognised scientific and academic institutions.

Art. 11 – Final Examination
1. The final thesis is an original academic work carried out individually on scientific and cultural topics agreed upon with the supervisor and relevant, in terms of content and methodology, to the Degree Programme. It may also form part of a broader group project jointly presented by multiple graduating students, provided that the contribution of each student is clearly defined, substantial, and distinguishable so as to allow for an independent evaluation.
2. The thesis must be supervised by at least one academic supervisor. In cases where the work is interdisciplinary or covers multiple subject areas, multiple supervisors may be appointed, and external experts may participate as co-supervisors.
3. The thesis may originate and develop within one of the courses offered in the third year or within an internship. Its completion corresponds to the recognition of 6 CFU.
4. Degree examination committees may award additional points in the final grade, taking into account, among other factors, the student’s overall academic career, the completion of the degree within the expected timeframe, and any involvement in third mission activities or internationally oriented initiatives, in line with the University’s planning and objectives.

Art. 12 – Attendance
