The coronavirus continues to influence the choices of universities. They are current, with the lessons of the second semester starting again between February and March at 50% in attendance and 50% at a distance, or future. As shown by the proposals for new degrees that the universities have just presented to the Cun and which await the final ok by the 11th of this month. After that it will be up to Anvur and the ministry to see them before June 15th. Although the requests seem to be increasing, with 206 activations for 2021/22, the actual new entries – if we exclude the restyling of 14 professionals – are actually 192. While in 2020/21 there were 194.
And, in the meantime, the proposing institutions are also decreasing: 62 instead of 70. This demonstrates that, with the emergency in progress and the preparatory meetings only online, it must not have been easy to create a new course of study. So much so that in many cases we have limited ourselves to strengthening the existing offer.

The bet on Stem
It is not on the methods of using the courses that the coronavirus has impacted, given that, net of the 28 telematics proposals, all the others are face-to-face degrees. But on the contents. The Cun area with the most requests is in fact the medical one (30), followed by the historical / philosophical / psychological and pedagogical area (26) and by industrial and information engineering (25). While 12 months earlier it was the latter that prevailed. Both the technical-scientific innovations (69 against 64 the previous year) and the life sciences (52 against 43) have increased, while the humanistic-social ones decrease (85 compared to 91), which however maintain the top for total courses. Lagging behind was and remains physics with 2 debuts in 2021/22 and one in 2020/21.
The class with the highest number of new proposals (7) is LM-41 (Medicine and surgery), ahead of LM-91 (Techniques and methods for the information society) with 6. Of these only one concerns Data science. Who knows if due to a sudden turnaround or, as it seems, due to the expectation that the ministry of the University “clears” the pluri-announced ad hoc degree class.
Moving on to the three-year courses, the most popular are the L-20 (Communication sciences, also here with some declination towards distance communication), the L-31 (Information sciences and technologies) and the L-SNT / 2 (Health professions of the rehabilitation, confirming the growth of the medical-health area), with 4 each. And even more relevant is the trend of professionalism packaged with orders: 23 new proposals, of which 12 for the construction and territory sector, 5 for the agricultural, food and forestry technical professions and 6 for the industrial and information techniques. But of these only 9 are new entries; the other 14 are transformations of existing courses. Result: including a new one in the L-15 class (Tourism Sciences) next year we could have 41 professionals.
