The Degree Programme Council, on the proposal of the President and the Teachers, organizes teaching activities, among which the student chooses, up to the achievement of a maximum total number of 8 credits. ADE can be organized throughout the whole year. If they take place during the academic period, they must not interfere with each individual student's obligation to attend the teaching courses relating to the year of the course in which the student is enrolled.
The acquisition of credits attributed to the ADE occurs only with a frequency of the specific activity at least equal to 2/3.
Activities chosen by the student include:
- Monographic courses consisting of ex-cathedra lessons
- Monographic courses carried out with interactive and seminar methods
- Conferences
- Research internships (carried out in research laboratories)
- other extra-curricular activities that the Commissione Tecnico-Pedagogica (CTP) will consider compatible with the goals of the Degree Course.
Students may request the recognition of extracurricular courses in the following way:
Open a ticket under the categories “Studying” and “Exams” and upload:
- A syllabus of the course, including the total number of hours completed;
- The certificate of attendance;
- The “Extra Activities Table” attached below.
The documentation must be submitted 10 days before the date of the Degree Programme Council meeting (see the Medicine and Surgery Degree Programme Council calendar).
If the course is accredited by the Council, the activity will be added to the ADE table, and the student will be able to use it to obtain the recording of the ADE credits.
