PhD teaching activities are structured as follows:
- Curricular courses (organised by the own PhD programme)
- Interdisciplinary courses (common to all PhD programmes and organised by the PhD School)
PHD STUDENTS FROM THE 38th CYCLE
In order to obtain the PhD qualification, each student must obtain at least 11 credits (CFU) over the three years (unless the individual PhD programmes have different rules):
- at least 8 CFU must be obtained from the curricular courses specific to their own PhD programme
- at least 3 CFU (mandatory) must be obtained from interdisciplinary courses.
PHD STUDENTS FROM PREVIOUS CYCLES
In order to obtain the PhD qualification, each student must obtain at least 8 CFU over the three years (unless the individual PhD programmes have different rules):
- at least 4 CFU must be obtained from the specific from the curricular courses specific to their own PhD programme
- at least 2 CFU (mandatory) must be acquired from interdisciplinary courses.
Starting from the 40th cycle, in addition to the interdisciplinary courses, the curricular courses attended will also be registered in the career.

The aim of the Hands on RRI training days is to guide PhD students from the first to the third year, during all stages of their research, including the final stages of impact assessment and sharing of results.
The RRI training days cover the minimum number of Third Mission hours to be carried out annually. PhD students must inform their Co-ordinators about the Third Mission activities carried out through the end-of-year report.
The programme for the academic year 2024/2025 will be published soon.
