The main aim of all Ph.D. programmes of the University of Brescia is the development of a research-oriented mindset in the candidates, with advanced skills and expertise in a specific research topic. To this end, candidates must develop the ability to formulate and solve problems in complex contexts, perform deep problem analysis, identify original solutions, and evaluate their applicability in practical contexts. These skills provide Ph.D. candidates with major opportunities for development in their research both in the academic field and in public and private organizations.
Ph.D. candidates are required to develop an original research contribution coherent with the DICACIM’s research lines. The Ph.D. thesis must contribute to increasing the knowledge in the candidate’s research field. The original research results are collected in the Ph.D. thesis, where the candidate’s contribution is positioned in relation to the state of the art in the specific research field. Research results are validated by the scientific dissemination process with peer-reviewed publications in international congresses and journals.
The PhD Programme is organized into six (6) curricula:
