The PhD program in Physics is open to both Italian and international graduates holding a master’s degree or an equivalent qualification. The program lasts three years and aims to serve as a reference point for young graduates eager to deepen their knowledge and develop new skills.  

The primary objective of the PhD program in Physics is research, encompassing all its forms, from fundamental to applied research and research conducted in industrial settings. The program’s core idea is to prepare individuals capable of working, for example, in: institutions and organizations conducting fundamental and applied research, such as universities or research centers, both nationally and internationally; companies and industries engaged in research, development, and/or the design of complex technologies; companies, industries, or consultancy firms managing complex data analysis.  

This approach takes into account the employment opportunities available to PhD graduates in Physics, particularly in Italy. Many graduates find employment abroad due to their recognized skills, a testament to the international reputation of the program’s excellence. Furthermore, there is a growing trend of PhD graduates being employed in high-tech industrial sectors and companies utilizing innovative technologies or requiring expertise in simulating complex processes or phenomena.  

In these contexts, PhD graduates often take on roles such as research and development laboratory managers, technologists, or quality management experts. The program has been designed with these aspects in mind to ensure its relevance and alignment with current industry and research demands.
