Teaching programmes

Doctoral education

Doctoral training at UNICAM combines activities shared by candidates from different disciplines with specialist courses, seminars and scientific events organised by the individual PhD Programmes and curricula.

A complete training pathway

Research, specialist knowledge and transferable skills

Teaching activities support the doctoral research project and the progressive development of scientific independence. Each candidate follows a training pathway agreed with the Supervisor and consistent with the requirements of the relevant PhD Programme.

Two complementary areas

Explore doctoral training

01 · TRANSVERSAL TRAINING

Transversal and transferable skills

The School of Advanced Studies organises common activities for candidates from different research fields. These activities develop knowledge and skills that complement specialist scientific training.

Topics may include research ethics, scientific communication, data management, open science, project management, innovation, entrepreneurship and career development.

02 · PROGRAMME-SPECIFIC TRAINING

Training within your PhD Programme

Each PhD Programme provides specialised courses, seminars, workshops, conferences and other training activities connected with its scientific areas and curricula.

The Programme Coordinator and Academic Board define the available activities and the requirements applying to candidates enrolled in the Programme. Consult your Programme page for current teaching activities and academic information.
