- Learning outcomes
- PhD in physics has the purpose of completing the scientific training in the field of Physics for the various fields actively present in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, in the Bologna Section of INFN and CNAF-INFN, and CNR Institutes of the Bologna area. The PhD programme aims to train researchers able to perform independent activities in the following sectors: Theoretical physics and foundations of physics, Condensed matter physics, Nuclear and subnuclear physics, Applied physics. In the theoretical field, students should be able to build and study mathematical models to describe physical phenomena, in the experimental field to conduct physics experiments in the laboratories and critically analyse the results. In general the PhD students 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 physical applications, medical, technological, computer, etc.). A great part of the research consists in laboratory activity, participation in measurement campaigns, the use of networks, databases, software for analyzing data and models.
- Research training activities compliant with the Doctoral programme's learning outcomes
- Students must follow specialized courses for the doctorate, or taken from master's degrees for a total of 160 hours of lessons in the first two years of the course. Students also follow specialized seminars and national and international schools. Students are part of research groups at universities and research centers where they carry out their activities of preparation of the thesis.
- Internationalization features
- PhD students 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 agreements with foreign universities to obtain common PhD degrees, that expect students to follow the lectures at associated universities abroad. The doctoral thesis are commonly written in English and are available to the international scientific community.
- Expected research results and products
- Dissertations written in English, communications at national and international conferences, publication of research results in international journals with referee and Impact Factor (at least one publication within three years following the conclusion of the doctorate).
