Course presentation (FOR PhD course/Specialisation school ONLY)

The PhD Program in the Human sciences: studies on language and literature, history and philosophy, communication and digital humanities represents the third level of university education, aligned with the most advanced international research in the fields of linguistic analysis, narrative theory, modern and contemporary history and philosophy, education and training, and intercultural communication.

Particular attention is given to methodological skills—especially cross-disciplinary ones—providing multiple competencies in the design, management, and communication of innovative research and experiences. These skills will enable PhD graduates to participate in experimental projects—in publishing and education, in cultural or social activities, and in public and professional communication—also supported by new technologies and methods related to the field of digital humanities.

The program is structured into four curricula:

- Linguistic and Literary Studies
- Historical-Philosophical Studies
- Theories and Methods of Education
- Digital Humanities and Digital Communication

The PhD program has a strong interdisciplinary orientation, as demonstrated by a shared teaching offer across the curricula, focused on the theoretical and methodological aspects of the various research strands within the program. This integrated approach is intended to foster flexibility and creativity in research development.
