Laboratories

Students must get 9 CFU/ECTS as elective credits through elective exams or laboratories + 6 CFU/ECTS through internship or laboratories.

Please notice that the maximum number of laboratories that can be authorized in each student's study plan is 3 (three).
Therefore, MIE students who choose to take 2 labs instead of the 6-credit internship are limited to take just one additional lab as elective credits.

For internships please refer to this page:

How to enrol
