Laboratories

Laboratories are elective activities promoted by partner companies or institutions (e.g., universities, research institutes) and approved by the Faculty Board of DSE.

Labs usually consist of 20 hours of practical activities and are organized throughout the Academic Year (see below the calendar, usually updated in October for the upcoming year).

Typically, for a Lab, only a small number of students can be admitted due to logistics constraints. For each Lab, a call for application is published on this webpage a few weeks before the Lab starts. Candidates will be selected by the involved companies/institutions according to CV and motivations. The Faculty Board is not involved in the selection process of candidates.

The credits earned from labs will be considered as elective credits (a total of 9 elective credits are expected in the plan of study of a DSE student). Some laboratories, when explicitly declared, are valid as 3 ECTS of soft skills. Laboratories ARE NOT VALID as stage/internship. A minimum attendance of 75% is required for the assignment of credits.
