Organisation of teaching activities
Starting from the 40th cycle, PhD students are required to acquire Doctoral Credits (CD). These measure the workload required of PhD students in research, training and teaching activities in order to obtain their degree. Each CD is worth 25 hours of work, and doctoral students must earn 60 CD per year (for a total of 180 CD between training and teaching plus research over the three-year period). The programme has divided the total number of CD between research, training and teaching activities, ensuring that research accounts for 78% of the total and the remaining 22% is allocated to training.
