The PhD Programme foresees a full time commitment.
Offered courses' duration is usually up to a maximum of five weeks.
All academic activities (courses, exams, etc) are taught in English.
Duties of the Students
Students must submit a Progress Report - which has to be previously approved by their supervisor - related to the activity carried out during the academic year. The positive assessment of the Progress Report by the Faculty Board allows the enrolment in the next academic year.
In order to obtain the PhD Degree, a final exam is foreseen at the end of the 4-year program. The Doctoral Final Exam consists of the public defence of the doctoral thesis.
