Consistently with the best international standards, the PhD in "Management, Banking and Commodity Sciences" constitutes an advanced course of study aimed at training researchers capable of critical and independent thinking and highly specialised in the following scientific fields: business management, banking and finance and commodity sciences.
The PhD programme provides attending students with the knowledge, techniques and tools necessary to enter the academic world or to work in research-centred professional roles in complex organisations such as companies, financial institutions, public administration, and national and international governmental institutions.
The Doctorate aims to promote an advanced scientific and technical culture, characterised by a strong interdisciplinary connotation developed based on the theoretical and applicative interconnections of the scientific-disciplinary sectors (SSD) that characterise the Doctorate itself: SECS-P/08, SECS-P /10, SECS P/11, SECS-P/13, AGR/01.
The specific features of the training plan :
consistently with the involved scientific-disciplinary sectors (SSD), the PhD programme in “Management, Banking and Commodity Sciences” combines interdisciplinary training - to which the first year is particularly devoted - with a more focused disciplinary training in the three curricula - 1) Business Management (Referent Prof. Alessandra Cozzolino); 2) Banking and Finance (referent Prof. Mario La Torre); 3) Commodity Sciences (referent Prof. Vanessa Giannetti)s - to which the teaching, seminar and research activities of the second year are particularly devoted and which is further developed in the writing of the doctoral thesis (third year).
The entire training course is designed to combine the development of skills and competencies related to research with those related to teaching and, in general, to the communication of the results of one's studies.
The training proposal is also intended to promote the ability to independently and responsibly set up and carry out research projects characterised by methodological rigour and relevance of content to the needs of the main stakeholders (profit and non-profit organisations, public administration, financial institutions, etc.).
