Doctoral Schools

The Research Doctorate programme is three years in length and it is the highest academic degree. Training activities, including international experiences, are focused to form high level researchers. The title is awarded after the defence of a thesis. Each student has a supervisor. Admission is reserved for holders of the “Laurea ante riforma” or the “Laurea Specialistica/Laurea Magistrale" or an equivalent foreign degree. Students are admitted to doctoral courses after a selection established by a call for applications. We have seventeen PhD courses, shared in three Schools: Life, Health and Enviroment Sciences (SViSA); Humanities and Social Sciences (SUS); Science and Technology (SciTec).
