Plan of Studies
The Doctoral Program in Information Science and Technology consists of 3 years that may be extended up to a maximum of 5 years. In the first year the student must complete a set of 60 ECTS:
* 24 ECTS obtained after the completion of four courses.
* 36 ECTS after writing a valid Thesis Proposal.
No student can enroll in the second year without completing the mandatory 60 ECTS.

The thesis proposal will be evaluated in a public session by a Committee of three Professors.
Once the student obtains the 60 ECTS he/she should dedicate full time to research activities aiming at the writing of the final dissertation. This research work will be supervised by a department member and will be structured according to the framework of one of the CISUC research groups (
