- Chemical and Environmental Science: the DISCA Course annually offers a series of educational activities presented, at the beginning of each academic year, with a public document and a collegial meeting, together with an illustration about how they are carried out. DISCA also organizes, jointly with the partner bodies and for the duration of the academic year, seminars, meetings and other training events, at mandatory frequency, in relation to the two curricula. The absence of more than 30% of the events scheduled at the beginning of the course may affect admission to the following year. Before the beginning of the academic year, the Academic Board of the Course approves the list of proposed educational activities, which is published online on the course website. The following courses are planned to be provided for the XXXVI cycle, among others: Medicinal Chemistry; Remote Sensing And Geographic Information System; Crystal Structure Relationships - Functional Properties; Mathematical And Numerical Methods In Chemistry; Behavioral Ecology And Conservation; Exposure Science And Environmental And Occupational Hygiene; Paleolimnology; Supramolecular systems for precision drug delivery; Arid Landscapes; English language course offered by the University (for the achievement of the Doctoral degree it is necessary to obtain the B2 level certification);
- Clinical and Experimental Medicine and Medical Humanities
- Computer Science and the Mathematics of Computation: annually the PhD board propose new training activities that will be supported by Università degli Studi dell’Insubria. The update list of these activities will be available at: http://phd.dista.uninsubria.it/index.php/teaching-course/
- Experimental and Translational Medicine: during the three-year course, the training activity will develop through: a) the progressive acquisition of the experimental and analytical skills inherent in the research project carried out in the research group and with the guidance of the proposing Tutor of the project, b) initiatives aimed at developing linguistic, informatic and programming skills and the management of research programs. In particular, the training activity will consist of the following courses/seminars.
