The University of Florence, for the release of the Diploma Supplement, has imposed a harmonization of the course offer. All the PhD students should collect at the end of the path of 3 years at least 24 credits in training courses and 6 credits in complementary skills.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS 1 ETCS FOR 6 HOURS OF LESSON.

24 ETCS - 1 ETCS/6 hours Min 18 ETCS in internal courses Possibilities: seminars, courses, winter/summer schools. |

In general:
- Training plan approved before and after by the supervisor, final approval by the Didactic Commission
- The courses can be internal or external. The courses organized by the partner institution for the cotutelle agreement are considered internal.
- Registration of participation well in advance for internal courses to allow better organization. The list of participants will be closed on the day the course starts.
- Doctorate students should attend the lessons in person. When hindered by some reason from attending in person, doctoral students could make use of the web streaming of the lessons, in all cases in which this will be provided
- Verification of learning (positive judgement otherwise no recognition)
- No recognition of courses of master's degree programs or conferences
- Mandatory presentation of a detailed certificate of attendance for external courses
- All courses organized from the Engineering Doctoral programs of Unifi, Unipi, or IMT Lucca will be considered “internal.”

If your study plan follows the table, you can ask for the credits recognition at the end of all courses.
If your study plan needs to be different for research motivations, write an email with your tutor to the President of the Education Committee, prof. Riccardo Barsotti (riccardo.barsotti(at)unipi.it) to get the approval.
