Training

The PhD Scientific Board resolves on the following list of courses to acquire Doctoral Credits (DCs) following frontal teaching and taught ad-hoc for this doctorate.

PhD students are reminded that:
1) Any change to the training offer is suggested, this is discussed at a Scientific Board meeting (which the PhD students' representatives also participate to) and - only once these changes are eventually approved by the Board - the website is coherently updated. Please check below for the date of the last update.
3) For specific details on the courses (calendar, location, etc), please consult the individual courses' websites, also accessible in most cases from the teacher's UniBO website.
4) For any request of support or need of further information, PhD students are advised to refer to the PhD students' representatives.
