Statute of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
TITLE III - University facilities
Art. 34 - Degree Programme Boards
The Departments or the University Schools upon delegation may set up Degree Programme Boards, in order to organise, coordinate and evaluate teaching activities.
The Degree Programme Boards are composed of professors and researchers who carry out teaching activities in the Programme, of the technical-administrative staff who carry out functions related to the Course itself, as well as a representation of the students enrolled, in a number of not less than fifteen percent of the total number of Board members.
The methods of designating or electing the members and functioning of the Degree Programme Boards are governed by the regulations of the Departments or, upon delegation, by the School.
The Presidents of the Degree Programme Boards oversee the proper functioning of the courses, representing them both at the University level and at the level of national conferences, where established. They can be part of the Department councils and the deliberative bodies of the University Schools.
The Presidents of the Degree Programme Boards are elected among tenured professors, or, in the event of unavailability, among the permanent researchers who are part of them, according to the procedures established by the regulations. They have a three-year term, renewable once consecutively, and are appointed by Rector's decree.
The Degree Programme Boards must be established for the Degree Programmes of the Master's Degrees in Medicine and Surgery and in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics, and of the Bachelor's and Master's Degree Programmes in Health Professions.
