Learning objectives

The course is divided into the following two modules [Law module] The Law module aims to provide students with the fundamental legal knowledge that governs the processing of data in the current information society, with particular regard to new digital media. The limitations established by the legislator for the processing of data, their circulation and the liabilities deriving from the possible violation of the relevant rules will be the subject of an in-depth study. [Ethics module] The Ethics module aims to provide some basic tools of contemporary ethical reflection; to enable students to recognize an ethical dilemma in a public debate or in daily professional practice; to learn to examine and reformulate it on the basis of the reflection tools learned; to be able to critically elaborate an operational perspective in the face of dilemmas and controversial cases encountered. At the end of the course the student has to show to have acquired the following skills:
- ability to analyze the realm of the so-called documentality, within the horizon of a complex society in relation to the influence of the IT device
- knowledge and capability to interpret and know how to use the concepts of truth, device, objectification, subjectivation and responsibility, as well as the articulated interaction of the phenomena that these concepts allow to describe and direct.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The course has no specific prerequisites

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade consists of the weighted average of the marks awarded in the Ethics (1/3) and Law (2/3) modules, rounded up.

Type D and Type F activities

Le attività formative di tipologia D sono a scelta dello studente, quelle di tipologia F sono ulteriori conoscenze utili all’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro (tirocini, competenze trasversali, project works, ecc.). In base al Regolamento Didattico del Corso, alcune attività possono essere scelte e inserite autonomamente a libretto, altre devono essere approvate da apposita commissione per verificarne la coerenza con il piano di studio. Le attività formative di tipologia D o F possono essere ricoperte dalle seguenti attività.

1. Insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona

Comprendono gli insegnamenti sotto riportati e/o nel Catalogo degli insegnamenti (che può essere filtrato anche per lingua di erogazione tramite la Ricerca avanzata).

Modalità di inserimento a libretto: se l'insegnamento è compreso tra quelli sottoelencati, lo studente può inserirlo autonomamente durante il periodo in cui il piano di studi è aperto; in caso contrario, lo studente deve fare richiesta alla Segreteria, inviando a carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it il modulo nel periodo indicato.

2. Attestato o equipollenza linguistica CLA

Oltre a quelle richieste dal piano di studi, per gli immatricolati dall'A.A. 2021/2022 vengono riconosciute:

  • Lingua inglese: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza superiore a quello richiesto dal corso di studio (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
  • Altre lingue e italiano per stranieri: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza a partire da A2 (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).

Tali cfu saranno riconosciuti, fino ad un massimo di 6 cfu complessivi, di tipologia F se il piano didattico lo consente, oppure di tipologia D. Ulteriori crediti a scelta per conoscenze linguistiche potranno essere riconosciuti solo se coerenti con il progetto formativo dello studente e se adeguatamente motivati.

Gli immatricolati fino all'A.A. 2020/2021 devono consultare le informazioni che si trovano qui.

Modalità di inserimento a librettorichiedere l’attestato o l'equipollenza al CLA e inviarlo alla Segreteria Studenti - Carriere per l’inserimento dell’esame in carriera, tramite mail: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it

3. Competenze trasversali

Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal TALC - Teaching and learning center dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti regolarmente iscritti all'anno accademico di erogazione del corso https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali

Modalità di inserimento a libretto: non è previsto l'inserimento dell'insegnamento nel piano di studi. Solo in seguito all'ottenimento dell'Open Badge verranno automaticamente convalidati i CFU a libretto. La registrazione dei CFU in carriera non è istantanea, ma ci saranno da attendere dei tempi tecnici.  

4. Periodo di stage/tirocinio

Oltre ai CFU previsti dal piano di studi (verificare attentamente quanto indicato sul Regolamento Didattico): qui informazioni su come attivare lo stage. 

Verificare nel regolamento quali attività possono essere di tipologia D e quali di tipologia F.

News for students

There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and also via the Univr app.

Graduation

Deadlines and administrative fulfilments

For deadlines, administrative fulfilments and notices on graduation sessions, please refer to the Graduation Sessions - Science and Engineering service.

Need to activate a thesis internship

For thesis-related internships, it is not always necessary to activate an internship through the Internship Office. For further information, please consult the dedicated document, which can be found in the 'Documents' section of the Internships and work orientation - Science e Engineering service.

Final examination regulations

Upon completion of the Degree programme, students will need to submit and present their thesis/dissertation, which must be in English and focusing on a scientific topic covered during the programme. Alternatively, the thesis/dissertation may consist of the analysis and solution of a case study (theoretical and/or relevant to a real industrial context), experimental work, possibly developed as part of an internship, or original and independent research work that may include mathematical formalisation, computer design and a business-oriented approach.

These activities will be carried out under the guidance of a Thesis Supervisor at a University facility, or even outside the University of Verona, either in Italy or abroad, provided that they are recognised and accepted for this purpose in accordance with the teaching regulations of the Master's Degree programme in Data Science.

22 CFU credits shall be awarded for the final examination (assessment of the thesis/dissertation).

The Graduation Committee, which is in charge of the evaluation of the final examination (presentation of the dissertation in English) shall evaluate each candidate, based on their achievements throughout the entire degree programme, carefully assessing the degree of consistency between educational and professional objectives, as well as their ability for independent intellectual elaboration, critical thinking, communication skills and general cultural maturity, in relation to the objectives of the Master's Degree programme in Data Science, and in particular, in relation to the topics dealt with by the candidate in their thesis.

Students may take the final exam only after they have passed all the other modules and exams that are part of their individual study plan, and fulfil all the necessary administrative requirements, in accordance with the terms indicated in the General Study Manifesto.

The graduation exam and ceremony will be carried out by the Graduation Committee appointed by the Chair of the Teaching Committee and composed of a President and at least four other members chosen among the University's lecturers.

The thesis/dissertation will be assessed by the Dissertation Committee, which is composed of three lecturers possibly including the Thesis Supervisor, and appointed by the Chair of the Teaching Committee. The Dissertation Committee shall produce an evaluation of the dissertation, which will be submitted to the Graduation Committee, which will issue the final graduation mark. The Teaching Committee shall govern the procedures of the Dissertation Committee and the Graduation Committee, and any procedures relating to the score awarded for the final exam through specific regulations issued by the Teaching Committee.
