ERASMUS
For the purposes of the Master Thesis, an internship can be carried out in different research centers abroad, in the framework of the Erasmus+ Program (for more information: http://www.unipv.eu/site/en/home/international-relations/erasmus/erasmus-traineeship.html). Many collaborations have been established during the past years, during which students have spent several months in European radiobiology laboratories, working on their thesis project.
The general aim is to allow students to have a full working experience in international teams, to specialize in forefront laboratory techniques and to get to know how to design radiobiological experiments. In the following, you can find some of the works performed by students carrying on the Master thesis with our group.

Ph.D. Experience:
During the 3-year Ph.D. program in Physics offered by the University of Pavia, research periods carried out at foreign institutions can be foreseen. The maximum duration of the stay abroad is of 18 months in total, as authorized by the Academic Board.
