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 Informatica - Enrollment from 2025/2026

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 bookletrequest 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 Regulationshere you can find information on how to activate the internship. 

Check the regulations to see which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Please also note that for traineeships activated after 1 October 2024, it will be possible to recognise excess hours in terms of type D credits limited only to traineeship experiences carried out at host organisations outside the University.

Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the principles and the main planning techniques of computer networks, with particular emphasis on the concepts related to the division of functions into levels and the man- agement of network resources. At the end of the course the student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of network and concurrent protocols; have the ability to apply the acquired knowledge and understanding skills to choose the type of appropriate network service to support specific applications, combined with an application analysis capability to determine the features useful in the design phase; have the ability to explain the transformation of information and the path followed by it from source to destination; know how to develop the skills necessary to continue learning the different protocols based on their functionality in the development of network applications.

Learning assessment procedures

The examination aims at verifying the comprehension of course contents and the capability to apply these contents in the resolution of some exercises.
Examination consists of a written test with three questions about the theory and three numerical exercises.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The total score that can be obtained from the questions about the theory is 12 points. The student must obtain at least 7 points int his part, otherwise the examination fails and the exercises are not evaluated.
The total score that can be obtained from the exercises is 21 points.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final score is the sum the points obtained from the questions and from the exercises. If the final score is less than 17 points, the examination fails. If it is equal to 17 points, the student must sustain an oral exam. If the final score is equal to or greater than 18 points, the exam is passed, unless the examiner asks for a compulsory additional oral exam. If the exam is passed, the student may ask for an additional oral exam. The oral exam consists of at least three questions about the theory. The final score is given by the mean of the scores obtained in the written and oral exams.
