Educational Aims
The PhD Programme aims at forming scholars trained in critical analysis of historical and cultural phenomena, able to interpret different texts, documents and cultural products and to understand them in the framework of their historical context. PhD students will be provided by this training with the fundamental skills necessary to pursue academic research activities, both in public institutions and in private sectors. Furthermore, they will be able fill top management posts in the fields of communication, publishing, cultural journalism, management of museums, libraries, archives, and think tanks.
More specifically there are five different curricula:
- Studies in Classic Philology: offers the skills needed for critical analysis of the tradition of Latin and Greek texts.
- Philosophical Studies: offers the skills needed for critical analysis of philosophical subjects, both in their historical and theoretical dimension, with a strongly interdisciplinary approach.

- Historical Studies: offers the skills needed for investigating a wide range of historical issues, planning a specific research project, identifying and using historical sources, coming across and using international bibliographies, organizing and representing collected materials, writing a scientific text on a historiographical subject.
