- Learning outcomes
- The PhD program in Architecture combines the specificity of the architectural research as architectural composition, urban planning, history, aesthetics, design, restoration, technology and industrial design, combining basic research and applied research in an interdisciplinary perspective. The research will be developed according to subject areas that, given the nature of the doctorate, it is aimed primarily at graduates in architecture and construction engineering-architecture and graduates who need to develop specific studies in the field of Architecture according to the different disciplinary joints which characterize it, despite coming from other graduating classes. The PhD program in architecture is characterized by the following research areas: Architectural composition; Urban Design; Construction Technologies; Advanced Design; Restoration and Preservation; Humanities and Technology for Cultural Heritage; History of architecture; Aesthetics of design and architecture.
- Activities to be carried out by Doctoral candidates
- The training of doctoral students will carry out teaching and research, articulated in the three years according to operational phases that include not only research staff and regular meetings with the PhD members aimed at assessing the progress of individual work, but the participation in workshops, courses, seminars and conferences in cycles. The training program of the PhD in Architecture provides that such activities are aimed at:
- Offer to all students through participation in seminars and research in the field of UniBo or external institutions, an overall comprehensive training on the topics of doctoral degree;
- To promote the deepening of the research topics individual both finalizing the production of the thesis and the elaboration of contributions for publication.
For each student the PhD council will identify complementary training activities most appropriate to the theme of the doctoral thesis. The student will also be encouraged to carry out internships or research periods at national bodies, international organizations, European institutions and foreign universities. PhD students are also encouraged to carry out educational activities and seminars, with regard to issues relating to their doctoral thesis, within the University of Bologna, the actions taken by international research networks, or of invitations to conferences offered by other universities and / or research centers in Europe. - Research training activities compliant with the Doctoral programme's learning outcomes
- The training activities are divided into basic and specialized activities.
Basic tasks: How to deal with the study and treatment of sources; How to write a scientific text (stylistic conventions and editorial); How to write a scientific paper in English (technical language and rhetorical techniques); English language courses; European projects; How to do fund raising (knowledge of the regulatory framework, technical and administrative work involved in seeking funds for scientific research and practice to writing technical reports to contribute to specific calls); Monitoring and research strategy; The rights and duties of the authors; The challenges of digital publishing; The digital publishing and legal nature of copyright.
Characterizing activities Internal or external to the university courses: Participation at conferences and meetings Laboratories or practical activities aimed in developing the research The acquisition of credits will be agreed annually by the members of the Ph.D course in Architecture.
The leaders of research groups, indicated by the College each new cycle of PhD, will provide a list of activities in which the individual doctoral students can carry out training activities. Each group can be directly linked to some research laboratories of the Department of Architecture that will complete the framework of the training of PhD in Architecture. The student, as an integral part of their training program, will be able of tutoring students at the Bachelor and Master Degree as well. - Internationalization features
- More then 25% of the teaching board is composed by foreign professors.
Ongoing co-tutoring:
n. 1 co-tutelle - École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Parigi
n. 1 co-tutelle - Université Paris Est - Marne la Vallée
n. 1 co-tutelle - RWTH Aachen University
n. 1 co-tutelle - TUM TU Munich
n. 1 co-tutelle - Universitat Politecnica de Valencia
To meet the needs of internationalization, the Ph.D. in Architecture will benefit of agreements already in place with the University of Bologna and of numerous international relations cultivated by the professors of the Department, by encouraging students to take courses that provide educational and cultural partnership with international doctorates. It will also seek to promote, with the cooperation of foreign students, international research through more wide-ranging outdoor activities in relation with other universities.
Since it is desirable that students undertake research pathways that allow the exchange and co-supervision with foreign institutions, in the training program are planned joint activities among multiple doctorates, this collaboration will contribute to raising the conventions and agreements with universities in Europe and beyond. It will be possible, if necessary, provide for the issuing of a degree double, multiple or joint. Thanks to the founding of the dip. of excellence there will be an increase in international relations.The goal is to create specific agreements with other universities / research institutes / laboratories abroad to activate programs in co-supervision of theses. - Expected research results and products
- The PhD program is an expression of the different disciplines and skills available within the Department of Architecture of the University of Bologna and its mission is to develop a critical and theoretical context of the different disciplines of architecture. The goal is to publicize such research through the publication of articles, essays, through participation in national and international conferences in order to enter the new PhD in the relevant scientific community.
