Research Training

The Research Training (RT) is intended for the student to acquire a deeper studying autonomy and literature analysis on frontier topics: these skills will be useful to carry out a final thesis in more depth in order to build a broader training experience. The RT is worth 9 credits and therefore its duration must be consistent (about 225 hours full time). While it is typical for the Research Training activity and the Final Project work to be carried out in combination, it is nonetheless possible to separate the two experiences which can be carried out in two different institutions and/or different subjects. Research Training is under the supervision of a Faculty (professor or researcher) of the University of Padova.
