Overview

About the program

The Ph.D. in Philosophy at Sapienza University of Rome aims at educating internationally qualified researchers in philosophy in its various branches. The first year is devoted to the acquisition of a strong scientific ground especially in the area of the student’s interests and to a more precise definition of the research topic.

During the next two years the student widens her knowledge in the chosen field and gains the skills to develop autonomously an original research project, also by participating to national and international conferences and study periods at outstanding research institutions abroad. The preparation of the final dissertation is supervised by at least two professors from the Ph.D. Faculty.
