The International PhD College (I-PHD College) program is a third-cycle training and research program, complementary to the University's PhD program. Participating PhD students integrate the activities planned by their PhD programs with moments of interdisciplinary coworking and collaborations with colleagues from other fields of study.
At the end of the three-year PhD (for four-year PhDs, the program is still completed at the end of the third year), participants are required to present at least one product or activity of scientific and cultural dissemination, contributing to civil society.
Each PhD student is assigned a Tutor, a Lecturer at the University in a different subject area from their own, who supports them in research and in the development of initiatives or products aimed at the public and civil society.
The program also includes active participation in meetings, initiatives and projects organised by the Collegio Superiore and by the other University Schools of Advanced Studies.
Projects and activities
PhD students of the I‑PhD College develop research projects and interdisciplinary activities on cross-disciplinary topics, to be completed by the end of their three-year programme.
