To the PhD student is given the opportunity to acquire further Credits by following courses or part of the courses offered by the PhD School, by the MedInTO Medicine and Surgery* and by Cellular and Molecular Biology** programs. The student may also acquire Credits with seminar and conference activities planned with the Tutor.
* The PhD student must agree in advance to attend one of the courses with his / her tutor, the president of the MedInto Medicine and Surgery program and with the teacher(s) of the specific course to verify the congruence with the doctoral program and safety issues (e.g. classroom capacity, required vaccination etc...) (https://www.medinto.unito.it/do/home.pl).
** The PhD student must previously agree to attend one of the courses with his/her tutor and the President of the Cellular and Molecular Biology program and with the teacher(s) of the specific course to verify the congruence with the doctoral program and safety issues (e.g. classroom capacity, required vaccination etc...) (https://cmb.campusnet.unito.it/do/home.pl).
Appropriate checking of the Credits acquisition will be performed for each activity.
