Method of choosing the subject of the thesis


During the first year, the student chooses  a research topic among those represented in the Department. In particular, the doctoral student immediately begins to participate in the Department's seminar program.



In February the students present the research project to the Ph.D. Council which assign a Supervisor of his/her research activity.




Admission to the second year


Qualifying examinations are held in October by the Council; passing the examination allows the student to proceed to the second year of the doctoral program. The qualifying exam is based on an oral presentation. The function of the Council during qualifying is to verify the student's acquisition of the competences necessary to succeed in the research program he/she has chosen.
