Training Instructions

.

IMPORTANT

• Starting from Academic Year 25/26,  PhD Students can use up to 6 ECTS (counted as internal courses) to attend courses (or part of them) coming form Bachelor or Master degree offer of the School of Engineering in order to recover possible training deficiencies preventing them to appropriately carry out their research work.
  • the course content has not already been covered in the students' educational career.
  • the course content is necessary to carry out the PhD student’s specific research activity.
  Note that for these kind of courses 1 ECTS = 8 hours for Master courses or 9 hours for Bachelor courses (not 6!).
  • PhD Students need to have the attendance record signed for each lesson they attend.
  • The number of recognized ECTS will be calculated based on actually attended lecture hours with fraction of 0,5 ECTS (e.g. for 15 hours of Master Degree course: 15/8=1.875 -> 1.5 ECTS)
  • Before the PhD Student starts attending the course, the Supervisor must send an email to the PhD Coordinator (in cc to the PhD Secretariat and to the PhD student) explaining the necessity of attending the course and certifying that the content has not been covered by the previous educational career. After receiving a positive reply from the Coordinator, the PhD student can start attending the lessons (the secretariat will carry out random checks to verify the accuracy of the statements made)

• In addition, PhD students may attend courses offered by the DINFO and DICEA PhD programmes as internal courses, thus expanding the options available. As always, attendance must be recorded in order for credits to be recognised.
• Participation in conferences does not grant university credits.
