HomeProgram 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:
