Overview

About the programme

The International PhD in English Literatures, Language and Translation at Sapienza University of Rome is aimed at students interested in the acquisition of up-to-date critical and cognitive tools that enable them to carry out specialised research in the field of English literature and linguistics, as well as in the cultural and disciplinary areas that may refer to them.

The programme makes use of a didactic offer that both institutions involved, Sapienza and Silesia, operate and that concerns both transversal competences linked to research training (Academic English courses, teaching training, courses dedicated to the exploration of publishing practices necessary for young scholars who are opening up to academic activities) and specific disciplinary competences
