| Oral interview |
The oral exam is aimed at verifying the candidate's aptitude for scientific research and his general preparation on topics related to the chosen scientific disciplinary sector and includes, among other things, the presentation and discussion of the research project.
The oral exam is held in Italian (foreign candidates can possibly sit it in English); during the oral exam the knowledge of one of the following foreign languages will be ascertained: English, French, German, Spanish. |
| Qualifications assessment |
The research project, mandatory, must be uploaded within the deadline of the call (self-produced pdf of a size not exceeding 5MB).
For the purposes of selection for the research doctorate, the candidate must present a project that can evaluate his propensity for research and his ability to autonomously plan and organize the various phases of the project. The project, drawn up in Italian or in English, must expressly indicate on the title page the curriculum in which the candidate intends to carry out the doctorate and the scientific disciplinary sector on which the project concerns (choice between IUS/01-Private Law; IUS /04-Commercial Law; IUS/07-Labour Law, IUS/11-Ecclesiastical and Canon Law; IUS/18-Roman Law and Ancient Law; IUS/20-Philosophy of Law). Projects without this indication will not be evaluated. The project must not exceed the maximum length of 8000 characters (including spaces, excluding bibliography). The project will not necessarily concern the candidate's doctoral research topic (if admitted); the research project to be carried out during the course will be agreed with the tutor and approved by the Academic Board.
The project must be divided into:
a) state of the art;
b) description of the project;
c) expected results;
d) articulation of the project;
e) bibliography.
In particular, the following will be evaluated:
• Knowledge of the state of the art (8 points)
• Originality and innovative content (8 points)
• Clarity and completeness of the presentation of the objectives, methodologies and potential results (8 points)
• Project feasibility (8 points)
• Relevance of the project to the educational objectives of the PhD (8 points). |
