Courses taught in English in 2024/2025

¹ 1:    Autumn (lectures from September 10 to December 20, 2024; exams from January 8 to February 7, 2025)

   2:   Spring (lectures from February 10 to May 29, 2025; exams from June 2 to June 30)

² PROJECT: students can choose one final project with or without internship. The duration of the project (i.e., number of ECTS) can be taylored to the academic needs of your origin institution.

Project

Students of the International Semester can do their degree’s final project with us. This can imply taking two UVa courses: one of the available bachelor’s or master’s final project (course codes and different effort in ECTS vary among the programs we offer), optionally complemented by an internship in the research group to make a deeper final project. The project can be taken in any of the two semesters and it is also possible to take it during the full year.

Students will have to develop a project in the area of Telecommunications. Two departments will offer projects to international students: Signal Theory, Communications and Telematic Engineering, and Electronics.

When a student wants to take a project, she/he must contact the ETSIT International Coordinator (IC) ([email protected]) and send him both a Curriculum Vitae and a list of areas of interest. If the CRI considers that she/he is eligible, the IC will distribute the CV between the different research groups working in the areas suggested by the students. Research groups interested in the students will contact her/him directly and offer different topics for the project. When the student reaches an agreement with the research group, she/he will contact the IC and the research group to confirm the agreement. This process has to be completed before signing any learning agreement.

Maximum number of students in each course

The maximum number of students enrolled in each course is 20.

English level for students

All students are required a B2 level of English.

Location

Classes will be planned in ETSITs rooms (classroom and laboratories). The project will be taken in the premises of each research group.
