This information is intended exclusively for students already enrolled in this course.If you are a new student interested in enrolling, you can find information about the course of study on the course page:
Laurea in Scienze e tecnologie viticole ed enologiche - Enrollment from 2025/2026Type D and Type F activities
Type D educational activities are at the student's choice, Type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Didactic 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 educational activities can be covered by the following activities.
1. Teachings taught at the University of Verona.
Include the teachings below and/or in the Catalog of Teachingshttps://www.univr.it/it/catalogo-insegnamenti - Opens in a new window (which can also be filtered by language of delivery via Advanced Search).

2. CLA language certificate or equivalency.
In addition to those required by the curriculum, 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 cfu are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).
These cfu will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 cfu in total, of type F if the teaching 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 motivated.
Those matriculated up to A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here- services - cla - language exercises - science and engineering https://www.scienzeingegneria.univr.it/?ent=iniziativa&id=4688 - Opens in a new window.

Booklet entry mode: The teaching is not intended to be included in the syllabus. Only upon obtaining theOpen Badgehttps://talc.univr.it/it/servizi/open-badge - Opens in a new window 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 pathway with modules dedicated to innovation and business culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all courses of study to solve challenges launched by companies and institutions. The pathway allows students to receive 6 CFUs in the D or F area. Discover the challenges: https://www.univr.it/clabverona- Opens in a new window
PLEASE NOTE: To be eligible to take any teaching activity, including electives, you must be enrolled in the year of the course in which it is offered. Therefore, it is recommended that undergraduates of the December and April sessions DO NOT take extracurricular activities of the new academic year, in which they are not enrolled, since these degree sessions are valid with reference to the previous academic year. Therefore, for activities carried out in an academic year in which they are not enrolled, no recognition of CFUs can be given.
In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum (check carefully what is indicated on the Educational Regulations) here- services - internships and apprenticeships - science and engineering It opens in a new window you can find information on how to activate the internship.
Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.
Please also note that for internships activated from October 1, 2024, it will be possible to recognize excess hours in terms of Type D credits, limited only to internship experiences carried out at host institutions outside the University.

Learning objectives
The course aims to provide the student with the knowledge and tools necessary for the application of the latest technologies for the assisted evolution of the vine.
Basic knowledge will be provided for the study of gene expression, its regulation and the biological role of grapevine genes. The tools necessary for the interpretation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of the plant and its responses to the environment will be illustrated. The student will attach the importance of knowledge of the genome, of the function of the genes contained on it and of the progress made in the biotechnology field during last years. The main stages of plant biotechnology will be illustrated, including in vitro cell cultures, the isolation of protoplasts, plant regeneration by somatic embryogenesis, genetic transformation and genome editing. Particular emphasis will be given to the possible applications of these new technologies for the development of a modern viticulture able to respond more quickly and effectively to the stresses to which the plant is subjected.
