Teaching program

Before the beginning of the academic year, the Doctoral School Committee approves the Teaching Program (Manifesto of Studies).

The courses are at advanced levels and related to the Doctorate’s specific research areas.

Each doctorate student attends a timely training course which includes, besides the research performed under the supervision of the tutor and advisor in accordance with the respective competences, advanced courses of basic knowledge and specialization courses in Biomolecular Sciences and Technology at the University of Trento.

The 1st year doctoral students must obtain 14 learning credits corresponding to:

- 60 educational hours (1 credit every 6 hours)

- attendance to at least 15 seminars per year (2 credits),

- 2 Journal clubs (1 credit),

- 2 progress reports (1 credit)

The 2nd year doctoral students must obtain 14 learning credits corresponding to:

- Courses for a total of 60 hours, selected from the basic courses and other courses offered by the Doctorate School and possibly those of the two-years Specialist Degree Course in Biomolecular Science and Technologies.

- attendance to at least 15 seminars per year (2 credits),

- 2 Journal clubs (1 credit),

- 2 progress reports (1 credit)

The 3rd year doctoral students focus predominantly on their research. They must attend seminars, journal clubs and progress reports. The third year is devoted to the fulfilment of the Doctorate thesis. The thesis must be written in English language and must be original. The scientific contributes included in the thesis may be the results of a scientific collaboration.
