* courses of the Honour Programme "Modelling & Simulation", see the complete list of courses at the following link: Modelling & Simulation. These courses are part of the educational offer a.y. 2020-2021

Laboratory health and safety (LHS) - mandatory

Summary: Lectures and practicals in general laboratory safety procedures, equipment use, and basic first aid.
Two courses: 1) legally required online basic course (4 hours - see here) and 2) a specific course (8 hours) training in health and safety and risks connected to work activities: usually held in November and January and it can be done only if you completed the online 4 hours course "health and safety in the work place".
Skills acquired: knowledge of basic chemical manipulation, laboratory skills, biological hazards, fire and radiation safety and basic first aid.

Learned Evaluation procedure: Multiple choice quiz.
Notes and Pre-requisites: Obligatory for all PhD students to access the laboratories (unless certificate of previous courses available)

Other courses - soft skills
