The academic title of PhD is awarded at the end of the PhD programme, following the positive evaluation of
the thesis.

The procedure for obtaining the title is organised into two phases.
At the end of the three-year period, the thesis, accompanied by a summary in Italian or English, is assessed
by at least two highly qualified professors, who express an analytical judgment on the thesis and propose to
the Phd Board either admission to the discussion or postponement, for a period not exceeding 6 months if
significant additions or corrections are necessary. The thesis is accompanied by a report on the activities
carried out during the PhD and the publications produced.
The thesis produced in pdf format and on USB support must be delivered to the Institutional Affairs Office
within the set deadline.

After the possible period of postponement, the thesis, revised with the requested corrections or
integrations, is in any case admitted to public final discussion, accompanied by a new written opinion of the
evaluators.
The final examination for the achievement of the title consists of a public discussion of the final thesis held
viva-voce by the candidate in front of the Final Exam Commission. At the end of the discussion the thesis,
with a reasoned written report, is approved or rejected. In the presence of results of particular scientific
importance the Commission, by unanimous vote, has the faculty to award special honours, with
recommendation for publication.
With regard to the theses in co-defence, specific procedures are provided for the achievement of the title
and composition of the Commission.
