M3 Program 2026
In order to complete the Program, students must take and pass 14 Standard Courses and 5 Laboratory Courses.
More precisely:
- 2 (over 4) Standard Courses of foundations;
- 12 mandatory Standard Courses;
- 5 (over 7) Laboratory Courses.
Courses taught in English and offered on-site and on-line (synchronous and asynchronous) with video recordings, hand-outs, etc. of the lectures available off-line (*).
The list and schedule of the Standard Courses and Laboratory Courses are reported in the following:
