Legend | Type of training activity (TTA)
TAF (Type of Educational Activity) All courses and activities are classified into different types of educational activities, indicated by a letter.
Type D and Type F activities
Type D learning activities are the student's choice, type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Teaching Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F learning activities can be covered by the following activities.
1. Modules taught at the University of Verona
Include the modules listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can also be filtered by language of delivery via Advanced Search).
Booklet entry mode: if the teaching is included among those listed below, the student can enter it independently during the period in which the curriculum is open; otherwise, the student must make a request to the Secretariat, sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the period indicated.
2. CLA certificate or language equivalency
In addition to those required by the curriculum/study plan, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:
- English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above that required by the course of study (if not already recognized in the previous course of study).
- Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 CFUs are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).
These CFUs will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 CFUs in total, of type F if the study plan allows it, or of type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately justified.
Those enrolled until A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here.
Method of inclusion in the booklet: request the certificate or equivalency from CLA and send it to the Student Secretariat - Careers for the inclusion of the exam in the career, by email: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
3. Transversal skills
Discover the training paths promoted by the University's TALC - Teaching and learning center intended for students regularly enrolled in the academic year of course delivery https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Mode of inclusion in the booklet: the teaching is not expected to be included in the curriculum. Only upon obtaining the Open Badge will the booklet CFUs be automatically validated. The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.
4. CONTAMINATION LAB
The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential course with modules on innovation and enterprise culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all areas to solve challenges set by companies and organisations.
Upon completion of a CLab, students will be entitled to receive 6 CFU (D- or F-type credits).

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.
5. Internship/internship period
In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum/study plan (check carefully what is indicated on the Teaching Regulations): here information on how to activate the internship.
Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Final examination regulations
The teaching activities related to the preparation of the final exam for the achievement of the degree and its verification consist of the preparation and discussion of a written paper in English (dissertation) related to the in-depth study of a scientific theme addressed in the course of studies, i.e. related to the analysis and solution of a case study (theoretical and/or directly derived from a problem of an industrial nature) or related to a work of an experimental type, which can also be developed within an internship course carried out at research institutions, schools, laboratories, and companies, or by taking advantage of study stays in Italy and abroad, or the result of autonomous and original research work, with related aspects of mathematical formalization, computer design, business-oriented realization. These activities may be carried out under the guidance of a supervisor at a university facility, or even outside the University of Verona, both in Italy and abroad, as long as it is recognized and accepted for this purpose in accordance with the Didactic Regulations of the Master's Degree Course in Artificial Intelligence. The CFUs assigned to the final examination (evaluation of the thesis) are 18. The committee in charge of the evaluation of the final exam (dissertation in English) is called to express an assessment that takes into account the entire course of study, carefully evaluating the degree of coherence between educational and professional objectives, as well as the candidate's capacity for autonomous intellectual elaboration, critical sense, communication skills, and general cultural maturity, in relation to the objectives of the Master's Degree course in Artificial Intelligence, and particular, in relation to the themes characterizing the dissertation.
Students may take the final examination only after they have fulfilled all other educational obligations set forth in their study plan and fulfillments at the administrative offices in accordance with the deadlines indicated in the general study manifesto.
The final evaluation and proclamation will be made by the final exam committee appointed by the chairperson of the teaching committee and composed of a chairperson and at least four other commissioners chosen from the faculty of the University.
The material submitted for the final examination is evaluated by the Thesis Evaluation Committee, composed of three faculty members, including possibly the thesis advisor, and appointed by the chair of the teaching college. The Thesis Evaluation Committee formulates an evaluation of the work done and forwards it to the final examination committee, which will make the final judgment.
The teaching committee shall regulate the procedures of thesis evaluation committees, final examination committees, and the scoring of the final examination by special regulations passed by the teaching committee.
