Lesson calendar a.y. 2024/2025

  • First semester

  • Second semester
    • 01/05/2025 - 31/10/2025

Specific and interdisciplinary courses

Every academic year, short courses on specific or interdisciplinary topics, specifically addressed to Ph.D. students in Drug Sciences, are offered by teachers of the Board and by external teachers. These courses are approved by the Board of Teachers and their description is published in the website.

The Ph.D. School in Biological, Drug and Food Sciences and other Institutions at the University of Parma offer other specfic and interdisciplinary courses, including interdisciplinary ones (e.g. regarding language and computer skills, research management/networking and intellectual property). These courses are also described in the website.

The number of ECTS assigned for each course specifically addressed to Ph.D. students is reported in course description.

Ph.D. students are also encouraged to consider other courses that can improve their scientific and technical growth. Courses from post-graduate curricula, and in some cases also from undergraduate ones, can concur to ECTS accumulation for educational activities. Assignment of the suitable number of ECTS is proposed by the Ph.D. student and her/his Supervisor to the Board of Teachers, considering the duration of the course, its level and the congruity with scientific areas covered by the Ph.D. Programme in Drug Sciences.
