The Ph.D. in Physics is aimed at training scientific researchers with broad general knowledge, and therefore with full flexibility concerning any future choice, and with high professional qualifications in all the disciplinary fields in which physics research is active today. The goal is to bring doctoral students to levels of preparation and autonomy suitable for their placement in national and international scientific and technological research institutions, as well as in management roles in companies that require problem-solving skills. Aimed at these goals is the educational offering of the Ph.D. program, which consists of an initial period devoted mainly to advanced courses and a subsequent phase concerning a research activity in a specific field.
