Plant Science — Università degli Studi di Milano, Milano

Il piano degli esami

1° anno

• Evolutionary biology of plants (UGA) — 6 CFU
• Introduction to plant development and signal transduction (UGA) — 6 CFU
• Strategies in experimental biology (UGA) — 12 CFU
• Plant development — 6 CFU
• Plant signal transduction — 6 CFU
• Internship 1 — 12 CFU
• The 3 ECTS corresponding to Additional Language Skills correspond to the optional achievement of the basic level of Italian for foreign students (at least A2). For the foreign students who decide to acquire the additional language skills of the Italian language must necessarily choose the shorter laboratory stage (3 ECTS), while in all other cases it is mandatory to choose the laboratory stage (6 ECTS). (scegli 3 CFU): Additional language skills: italian (3 ECTS) 3 CFU; Laboratory stage (3 ECTS) 3 CFU; Laboratory stage (6 ECTS) 6 CFU
