Advanced lectures
The PhD student's training activity is consolidated in the achievement of 18 CFU, of which 12 CFU in canonical teaching and 6 CFU in integrative teaching.
Part of the canonical teaching are courses, held both by members of the Teaching Board and by teachers external to the Board, which are specifically developed for doctoral students, who are highly specialized and advanced, resulting clearly distinct from those taught in the courses of study of I and II level, and who have previously obtained the approval of this College to be included in the educational offer of the Doctorate in Physics. The improvement and expansion of the training offer also takes into account suggestions from the student component.
Activities such as attendance at courses (or part of courses) of the UniCT Master's Degree in Physics or further standard courses or courses aimed at developing integrative skills or scientific schools or series of seminars, subject to approval by the College, are part of integrative teaching.
It is a rule that students of this doctorate must, within the first two years of the doctorate, attend courses for a total of 18 CFU and obtain 12 CFU following passing exams of canonical courses or equivalent courses (current courses in training offers of other doctoral courses, Italian or foreign). In the latter case, however, the recognition of credits is subject to the presentation of a written request by the doctoral student. Furthermore, half of the 12 ECTS with the above exam requirement must be related to canonical courses held by members of the Teaching Body.
Among the activities of integrative teaching, the teaching board promotes the participation in seminar cycles such as the Science Colloquia at DFA and the Highlights in Frontiers Physics seminar cycle, the latter organized by the doctorate. The teaching board also promotes participation in relevant scientific schools as well as dissemination activities promoted by the doctoral students themselves, such as the YP2 (Young Physicist to Young Physicist).
