Studying at the University of Verona
Here you can find information on the organisational aspects of the Programme, lecture timetables, learning activities and useful contact details for your time at the University, from enrolment to graduation.
Type D and Type F activities
Students can choose the type D training activities among a catalogue of courses, while type F activities provide additional knowledge useful for entering the job market (internships, transferable skills, project works, etc.). According to the Degree Programme description and regulation, some activities can be chosen and added autonomously by the students to the academic record, whereas others must be approved by a committee to verify their coherence with the study plan. Type D or F training activities can be covered by the following activities:
1. Courses offered at the University of Verona:
This includes the course listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can be filtered by language using advanced search)
Procedure for adding courses to the academic record: Ig the course is among those listed below or in the Catalogue, the student can add it independently when the study plan is open for modifications; otherwise, the student must request approval from the Student Office by sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the specified periods.
Starting from students enrolled in the Academic Year 2022/2023, courses offered in the 2nd and 3rd years of the study plan can be autonomously added to the academic record.
There is no need to submit the request to add the following courses to the academic record to the “Commissione Pratiche Studenti”: Database and Web (BSc in Bioinformatics); General Biology (BSc in Bionformatics); Molecular Biology (BSc in Bioinformatics); Probaility and Statistics (BSc in Computer Science); Programming and Network Security (BSc in Computer Science).
2. CLA Language Certification or Equivalence
Beside to to those already required by the study plan, the following language certifications can be added as additional training activities for students enrolled in the academic years 2021/2022 and 2022/2023:
English language: 3 CFU will be granted for each level of proficiency above the level required by the study program (if not already granted in the previous degree programme).
Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 CFU will be granted for each level of proficiency starting from A2 (if not already granted in the previous degree programme).
These CFU will be granted as type D activities and up to a 3 CFU in total. In case the language certification is dated prior to 27/10/2023 (date of the vote of the Teaching Board of Information Engineering) the maximum CFU to be granted can be extended to 6, as for previous regulation. Additional credits for language knowledge can only be granted if consistent with the student's educational project and adequately justified.
For students enrolled in the academic year 2023/2024, credits for language certifications beyond those specified in the teaching plan will be recorded as extra type D CFU.
Procedure for adding the relevant academic record: Request the certificate or equivalence certificate to the CLA and send it to the Student Administration Office via email (carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it) for the exam to be recorded.
3. Transferable Skills
Discover the training paths promoted by TALC – Teaching and Learning Center of the University, intended for students regularly enrolled in the Academic Year offering the modules https://talc.univr.it/en/competenze-trasversali
Procedure for adding the relevant academic record: the modules will not be added to the study plan, but CFU will be granted after obtaining the Open Badge. The procedure may require a certain amount of time to reach a conclusion.
4. Contamination Lab
The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential program with modules dedicated to innovation and corporate culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all degree programs to solve challenges posed by companies and organizations. The program allows receiving 6 type D or F CFU. Discover the challenges: https://www.univr.it/en/clabverona.
NOTE: To be admitted to any educational activity, including electives, students must be enrolled in the specific Academic Year of the course being offered. Therefore, it is recommended that those who foresee to graduate December and April sessions do NOT undertake extracurricular activities for the new Academic Year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for the previous Academic Year. Therefore, modules carried out in an Academic Year when the students is not enrolled with the University of Verona, the relevant CFU will not be recorded.
5. Internship/Stage and other activities
The student must complete a 7 CFU internship and attend a 2 CFU module on “Medical Systems Seminars”.
Annually, the Internship Committee (tirocini-ismp@ateneo.univr.it) proposes a list of internship projects from which students can choose in line with their study plan and interests. The list can be complemented, after the approval of the Internship Committee, with proposals made by students who independently look for internship opportunities within the departments of the universities involved in the Degree programme, or within external organizations/companies. The management of the internship process is detailed in the Vademecum delle Attività di Tirocinio. Here is the relevant information page (with a link to Moodle) and here the general information on how to activate an internship.
Please note that for internships starting from October 1, 2024 with external partners/company, extra hours can lead to extra type D CFU.

Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge of materials science regarding the structure of materials, thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformations, diffusion processes and state diagrams. The chemical and physical properties of the main classes of materials (metals, polymers, ceramics, glasses and composites) and the relationships between microstructure and properties (in particular mechanical) of the materials will be studied. The main industrial processing and transformation technologies of different materials will also be illustrated. After completing the "Materials Science" course the student will be able to (i) describe and classify the fundamental classes of materials with reference to their structure and fundamental properties, (ii) discuss the possible chemical-physical transformations that occur of the production and processing of materials to obtain the finished product, (iii) select the materials based on their application.
Prerequisites and basic notions
The student should have a clear understanding of the contents of the courses "Calculus 1", "Inorganic and organic chemistry" and "Mechanics & Thermodynamics" with particular reference to the following topics:

Didactic methods
The course is organized in (a) lectures on the aforementioned topics (about 40 hours) carried out using slides that will be made available to students and (b) classroom activities with presentation and resolution of numerical exercises (about 10 hours).
Self-assessment tests will be made available as homework during the course.
Students are warmly invited to attend lectures and classroom activities, take notes and review them at home also by consulting the suggested bibliographic material, and carry out the proposed exercises.
Learning assessment procedures
In order to pass the exam, students are required to:
1. pass the written tests organized during the semester or during the exam session dates with a sufficient score (>=17);
2. pass an oral exam on the exam session dates concerning the entire program (>=17);
3. the oral/written test average must be rounded off to at least 18.
The written exam includes 16 multiple-choice questions, including numerical problems, diagrams, and basic questions related to the course contents.
The oral exam will include 3 open questions to assess the developed knowledge and expertise.
Evaluation criteria
The evaluation of the written tests is based on the correctness of the calculations carried out and on the accuracy of the answers.
In the oral exam, the fundamental criteria are related to (a) knowledge of the course topics, illustrations and definitions; (b) the ability to organize a critical discussion on the course topics by applying the theoretical knowledge to specific problems. The correct use of language and the ability to answer autonomously will be also assessed.
Details regarding the evaluation procedures for the oral exam will be made available during the course through an evaluation grid.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade will be represented by the average of the marks of the written tests and of the oral exam.
