Teaching activities 2025/2026
Cycle XLI
Teaching activities to be attended by the PhD students are planned with Supervisors and selected within the Educational Offer of the PhD Course. The full syllabus of the teaching activities are available here.
The teaching activities must be listed in the Individual PhD Training program which is submitted to the PhD Council for approval three months within the start of the PhD program.
Each PhD student has to get a minimum of 12 ECTS (1 ECTS= 8 h direct lesson), selected among the teaching activities identified as Compulsory (C) for Animal and Food Science (AFS) in the list of teaching activities (and listed below), at the end of the three years of the PhD Course.

Teaching activities other than those listed below can be included at the choice of the student/supervisor and chosen among the teaching activities shared by the PhD Courses of the School of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of the University of Padova.
During the first year, the PhD students attend the teaching activities corresponding to the minimum ECTS requirements. During the second year, abroad secondment and presentation of preliminary results at national and international congresses are previewed. The third year is mainly addressed to writing of scientific papers for indexes journals and writing the PhD thesis.
