Phd in PHD SCHOOL OF ARCHAEOLOGY

List of courses / activities for the first year

More information The educational activities of the first year of the PhD course concern specific courses specifically designed for PhD students of all six curricula and research activities including participation in excavations, laboratories and research promoted by the Department of Antiquity in diversified chronological and geographical areas that reflect the various curricula of the Doctorate School in Archaeology. The courses, activities and face-to-face seminars (of the Department, of the individual curriculum or of the entire Doctoral School) contribute to the acquisition of skills and tools functional to a better approach to ongoing research. The perspective of the topics in the offer presented is broader than the hours required for each PhD and allows everyone to choose from the general didactic offer and from their own curriculum in relation to their scientific interests. The didactics are designed to introduce young doctoral students to the traditional and more innovative lines of study as well as to the plurality of addresses in order to encompass a varied and diversified methodological spectrum. Method of choosing the subject of the thesis The research project is evaluated in advance for access to the written examination. From this comes the thesis subject, which is assessed and approved by the College of Professors. Admission to the second year During the first year, a number of checks are carried out during the presentation of the research (also by means of power-point support) to the College of Professors meeting in curricula to assess the initial objectives and approach of the work. At each meeting, the doctoral students also submit a written report previously approved by their tutors/co-tutors chosen among the College.

More information The training activities involve participation in excavations and field research promoted primarily by the Department of Antiquities. For the second year, special attention is paid to activities that also focus on design, the development of data processing techniques, the organisation of information and the methods of writing and communication, as well as an in-depth study of a series of ethical issues of particular relevance to archaeology, such as the treatment of human remains Method of preparation of the thesis During the second year, doctoral students must complete the data collection (bibliography, catalogue of materials, etc.) and have the entire dossier of information required for the final processing. Admission to the third year During the year, a number of reviews are carried out in front of the College of Professors (also via power-point support) to assess research progress. The doctoral candidates submit a written report approved by their tutors/co-tutors chosen from among the teachers of the College. Admission to the following year is subject to the analysis of the annual report submitted by the doctoral student, which is assessed and approved during an interview with the entire College. In the course of the collegial reviews, the various fields of action are identified and the most suitable methodologies are recommended for the chosen research. The conduct of the research itself and the methods followed are constantly monitored by the tutors and the entire College.
