Requirements for obtaining the title of PhD
Before discussing the final exam, it is compulsory to fill in the Almalaurea questionnaire. The receipt of the completion must be delivered to the selection board so that it can be attached to the final exam report.

After the discussion of the final exam, it is mandatory, pursuant to art. 6, paragraph 11, of the Ministerial Decree of 30 April 1999, prot. no. 224/1999, to deposit one's doctoral thesis in the IRIS catalog in order to give visibility to the results of the research carried out during the doctoral years and to allow the National Libraries of Rome and Florence to directly obtain the theses by filing them and conserving them permanently.
To access IRIS you need to have an institutional e-mail account and follow the instructions given in the Guidelines for entering PhD theses in IRIS, also in the English version.
