The PhD programme relies on the use of the best human resources available in the two universities, in the fields of research and advanced education. Its quality rests upon a highly educated faculty holding doctoral degree awarded by prestigious European and American universities and whose research excellence is documented by a large number of publications in international scientific journals. The academic calendar has been designed in order to facilitate and encourage mobility of students between the two partner institutions. Many complementary activities are offered to students, including advanced training courses in specialized topics, conferences and seminars, hence contributing to the enhancement and refinement of their general and specific skills. Students are also offered the opportunity to participate in other research and training activities organized by both universities.
The programme aims at offering students a high quality educational experience, whilst effectively preparing them for an active life in an increasingly globalised world.
