The PhD is the highest level of education provided by the Italian academic system and provides the skills necessary to carry out high quality research activities at universities and public or private entities.
The degree programme lasts three years. To access it you need to be in possession of a Master's degree, or an equivalent academic qualification obtained abroad, and be recognized as eligible for the admission. The University encourages both the participation of international students and relationships in a productive socio-economic system.
Internships
Internships are training periods which can take place at a company or an organization. The objective is to combine study and work within the educational process in order to provide a direct experience of a work environment.
Curricular internships, which may last up to 12 months, are open to students enrolled in a Bachelor's (Laurea), Master's (Laurea Magistrale) or a PhD (Dottorato di ricerca) programme. An internship is part of the curriculum and takes place during the academic year even if it may not contribute any credits towards your degree nor your thesis.
