There is no compulsory attendance, but attendance of lessons, exercise classes and lab work is strongly recommended. The course concludes with the writing and discussion of a thesis. The Faculty will provide a separate set of regulations for this. All lectures and seminars will take place in the main premises of Unibz, at the Faculty of Science and Technology in Bozen - Bolzano and at the University of Trento, Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering. The calendar detailing lecture halls and lecture times can be found on the Faculty's website.
