The Joint Teaching-Student Committee (CPDS) is a forum for dialogue between students and teaching staff, which is essential for improving the quality of teaching and university services. Pursuant to Article 41 of the University Statute, it is composed of a maximum of 5 members of teaching staff and 5 students, representing the various degree programmes.
With regard to the School of Medicine — the University’s coordinating structure which manages a total of 11 degree programmes in the healthcare professions, 2 single-cycle degree programmes, and one bachelor’s and one master’s degree programme in the field of sport sciences — an additional subcommittee was established in 2025 to support the CPDS, composed of a further 5 members of teaching staff and 5 students.
The subcommittee is an organisational solution adopted by the School of Medicine, in accordance with the ANVUR guidelines of 8 August 2024, to ensure broader representation of degree programmes and students.
In this way, the CPDS and the supporting subcommittee will be able to gather observations, proposals and needs from students in the medical area more effectively, promoting inclusion and representativeness.
The CPDS and the subcommittee, appointed by resolution of the School of Medicine Council, register no. 39 of 5 May 2025, and by decree of the President of the School of Medicine, register no. 643 of 23 May 2025, are composed as follows:
