Doctoral School in Science and Technology

ECTS credits acquisition

The PhD programme will take into account the interactions with European universities within the EU GREEN Alliance, which will facilitate exchanges for research and international activities.  

The teaching activities are delivered over the three years of the PhD. The courses are taught by faculty members from the University of Parma, other instructors, and members of the Faculty Board active at research institutions with which there are collaborative scientific relationships. The total number of credits to be obtained over the three years is 180 ECTS. During the three years, at least 20 ECTS must be earned through training activities.

Conversion Table of ECTS Credits / Corresponding Activities

1 course/conference day: 1 ECTS credit
1 seminar with a specific disciplinary focus: 0.5 ECTS credit
1 university course: 6 hours/ECTS credit

These educational activities must be distributed as follows:

At least 4 ECTS credits in interdisciplinary educational activities (soft skills);
At least 6 ECTS credits in disciplinary educational activities;
10 ECTS credits at the student's discretion.
The acquisition of credits requires participation in the educational activity and a pass grade awarded by the course/laboratory instructor, based on ongoing assessment and/or the submission of a final report.
