- Learning outcomes
- The PhD in Physics has the purpose of completing the scientific training in Physics for the various research fields actively present in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, in the Bologna Sections of INFN and CNAF-INFN, and in the CNR Institutes of the Bologna area. The PhD programme aims to train researchers able to perform independent activities in the following sectors: Theoretical physics, Condensed matter physics, Nuclear and subnuclear physics, Applied physics and complex systems, Physics education and History of Physics. In the theoretical field, the PhD candidates should be able to build and study mathematical models to describe physical phenomena, while in the experimental field to conduct physics experiments in laboratories and critically analyze the results. In general the PhD candidates are trained to use the scientific method and achieve the ability to apply it in different contexts, making them eligible to take leadership positions in high-level organizations.
- Activities to be carried out by Doctoral candidates
- Basic and fundamental research (theoretical and experimental), applied research (with applications to physics, medicine, technology, computer science, etc.). The research of the PhD candidates includes laboratory activities, participation in international workshops and conferences and measurement campaigns, the use of networks, databases, a software for analyzing data and models.
- Research training activities compliant with the Doctoral programme's learning outcomes
- The PhD candidates are required to attend PhD or advanced Master courses for a total of 136 hours of lectures in the first two years of the course. The PhD candidates also attend specialized seminars and national and international schools. They are also part of research groups at universities and research centers where they carry on their activities in preparation of the PhD thesis.
- Internationalization features
- PhD candidates holding a scholarship are obliged to spend a period of research and training of at least six months in foreign universities or research centres. They also participate in research projects of international importance, follow courses in English, and participate in international conferences and schools. There are active official agreements with foreign universities to obtain joint PhD degrees and candidates in cotutelle are required to follow lectures at the associated universities abroad. The doctoral theses are commonly written in English and are available to the international scientific community.
- Expected research results and products
- PhD thesis written in English, talks at national and international conferences and workshops, publication of research results in refereed international journals with high Impact Factor (at least 1 publication within 3 years from the conclusion of the doctorate).
