The Joint programme in Physics (UNITN-SISSA) consists of 132 ECTS-credits for a two-year programme.
Students will undertake demanding full-time learning activities: attendance at leading laboratory sessions is compulsory, whereas attendance at lectures is strongly recommended.
All courses are taught in English.

Notes: according to the Sorbonne (1988) and the Bologna (1999) declarations university-level study programmes in the European Higher Education Area are structured in university credits (ECTS). A university credit corresponds to 25 hours of student workload, time for personal preparation included. The annual average of workload for a full-time student is conventionally fixed at 60 credits.
