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
The educational activities of type D are chosen by the student, those of type F are further knowledge useful for entering the world of work (internships, soft skills, project works, etc.). According to the Didactic Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and included autonomously 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 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 include it autonomously during the period in which the study plan is open; otherwise, the student must submit 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, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:
- English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above the one 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, as type F if the teaching plan allows, or as 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.
Booklet entry mode: request the certificate or equivalency to the CLA and send it to the Student Secretariat - Careers for career entry of the exam, via email: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
3. Soft 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
Booklet entry mode: the teaching is not expected to be included in the curriculum. Only after obtaining the Open Badge, the CFUs in the booklet will 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. Stage/internship period
In addition to the CFUs required by the curriculum (check carefully what is indicated on the Didactic 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.

The teaching is organized as follows:
IoT Systems
Networked embedded systems
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide the knowledge necessary for the specification, modeling, development and verification of embedded network systems for industrial applications, in particular networked control systems, cyber-physical components, network infrastructures and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. At the end of the course the student will have to show the acquisition of the ability to analyze and understand the functioning of the networked embedded and IoT systems and the problems related to their design, implementation, verification, certification and use, with reference to their most important properties: performance, reliability, security and privacy. This knowledge will allow the student to acquire the ability to specify, model, design and verify networked embedded systems in the industrial and IoT fields, identifying the most appropriate components to integrate with each other, with the production machinery and the company information system. At the end of the course the student will be able to apply and deepen these topics independently.
