A course is defined as a class (taught in Italian or in English) with a number of teaching hours typically equal to or greater than 6 (six), divided into two or more separate days.

Courses held at other universities may be given in other languages and have a different duration.

The acquisition of the training credits by the student is obtained by presenting a certificate of attendance signed by the lecture. For the courses organized by the Doctoral course, the Ph.D. Student will be required to fill in an evaluation form at the end of the course.

Ph.D. students have to attend at least 75 % of the course. Courses offered by the Doctoral Course in Geosciences are taught in English.
