PhD IMEG Courses offer
​
PhD courses constitute a third-level University education process which differs from the former two, Bachelor’s and the Master’s ones, in that they are specifically oriented to the development of research-oriented competences and skills. This implies on the one way an interdisciplinary approach, on the other an attitude to looking for new solutions, rather than the acquisition of the current ones, that should be criticized rather than uncritically adopted. This is in line with initial historical missions of the Universities that were basically consortia of students and teachers, looking together to know solutions for unsolved problems.
​
The Courses offered are listed below and a brief description of each of them is also provided in the following. The list of the courses offered may vary over the years, as well as their detailed programme.
