The educational programme includes:
- advanced research activities
- advanced teachingacademic activity
A significant part of the Course (utilizzerei sempre e solo Programme…ma se si è deciso di usare il termine Course non posso obiettare) is devoted to scientific research. Under the guidance of a Supervising teacher professor, a research topic or project is identified from the first year of the Course, which will take up the bulk of the doctoral course PhD Programme over the three years of training, with the progressive acquisition of autonomy and critical and propositional skills.
Doctoral students will have facilities at their disposal for the study of animal models and advanced technological platforms for pre-clinical research. Doctoral students in medical training will have access to excellent clinical research facilities.
Higher education activities include:
- core characterising courses, instrumental to the research activities
- courses of cross-disciplinary interest to the Department's doctorates, aimed at improving technical skills and knowledge of statistical methods and data analysis in medical research
- courses of a general and interdisciplinary nature offered to all the doctorates of the University
- international seminars
The active participation of doctoral students in workshops, summer schools, and national or international congresses functional to their specific research programmes is also encouraged.
Lastly, Journal Club cycles are organised and self-managed by doctoral students.
