Course overview

The course offer of the ROSE PhD Programme includes different types of courses:

Specific ROSE PhD level courses;
Horizontal interdisciplinary courses, organised by the Doctoral School at IUSS (common to all PhD Programmes);
Advanced Master courses, shared with the MSc CivRisk, ROSE path; and
High-level undergraduate courses from the undergraduate academic offer at IUSS.

The courses planned for the 2026/2027 academic year are listed below. These courses are taught by both local faculty members and renowned international professors.
