Type 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 training activities can be covered by the following activities.

1. Teachings delivered at the University of Verona.

Booklet entry mode: if the teaching is included among those listed below, the student can enter it independently during the period- Opens in a new window in which the syllabus is open; otherwise, the student must make a request to the Secretariat, sending to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it- Opens in a new window the form- Opens in a new window in the period indicated- Opens in a new window.

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.

5. Internship/internship period

In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum (check carefully what is indicated on the Educational Regulationshere- 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 will provide adequate competence in klinematis and the laws of dynamics, (macro and microscopic) termodynamics, electricitty and magnetism, physics of waves, including electromagnetic waves and physics of light, including the concept of photons. With a special focus on conceptual and language aspects, the aim of the course is to help developing a critical approach to the subject and anlytic skills. Students will be able to handle and exploit the main notions and physics models to be applied in the different areas of chemistry, biochemistry, biology and information theory.
