XXXV Doctoral Period

Specific Rules

The specific educational plan for the students of the XXXV Cycle were originally planned to follow the general rules of the doctorate education plan.

However, due to the COVID-19 emergency:

- the offer of the school in terms of courses is currently freezed. We are working hard to turn some of the planned courses online (see below), but this will take some time, also due to the fact that many of them are to be held by members of our international teaching board;

- most of the students are experiencing troubles in participating to other courses, seminars, and conferences.

Accordingly, the board of the school will be very flexible in terms of education plan, and will not penalize students if they will not manage, during the first year, to acquire the necessary number of ECTS.

Planned Courses

The courses planned so far for the XXXV (COVID-19 permitting) are listed below. We refer to the "Courses" page of the school Website for detailed information (exact dates and schedules, and teaching materials) about each of the courses.
