Didactic offer of the PhD School in Engineering Science for academic year 2024/25
The structured didactic courses are open to everyone interested, including professors and PhD students of the previous cycles. During their first year of doctorate, PhD students are required to attend courses for at least 48 hours chosen from those listed below (in agreement with their supervisor).
municate the viewing of the recorded lesson via email to the professor.
All courses are taught in English.
All courses are held in person. Furthermore, the courses are also delivered in live streaming via the TEAMS platform and recorded; this is in order to allow attendance remotely, or in deferred mode, for those who exceptionally have impediments to attending in person, which remains the recommended mode. Those who participate in deferred mode using the recordings are required to communicate the viewing of the recorded lesson via email to the professor; the teacher will manually record the presence in deferred mode.
The attendance will be checked by collecting signatures (by scanning a QR code) in the classroom and the PhD students are required to attend at least 75% of the course hours. The verification of the acquired knowledge will be carried out according to the procedures defined by each professor.
For organizational purposes, the students who are interested, in agreement with their supervisor, should contact the course professor through the registration to the Moodle web page of the course or in special cases through an e-mail.
The offered courses of the PhD school in Engineering Science are also open to PhD students coming from other universities. Since the credentials released from UNIVPM are necessary to enroll, internals will use their own credentials, while externals need to compile the module that can be found at https://nia-dotnet.univpm.it/csi/esternididattica appointing Prof. Nicola Paone as Structure Director and Davide Bevilacqua (PTA) as referent. The PhD student that fills out the module will receive an email with the credential to access web services necessary to access Moodle and to register the attendance.
