PhD Programme

• Indietro PhD Programme

Skip to content

The Department of Political Science, Law and International Studies offers a PhD Programme in "Diritto Internazionale e Diritto Privato e del Lavoro" (International, Private and Labour Law).

Abstract The Course offers interdisciplinary training integrating the perspectives of international law (public and private), private law (comparative and European) and labour law (and trade union organizations) that are a basis for the achievement of a specific competence in one of the following areas of research:

• private law, which is considered in comparison with other European legal systems rather than  from the point of view of the Italian legal system;
• labour law and trade union law in the perspective of the internal system, the comparison between state systems within the EU, the Community system, international law;
• public and private international law and European Union law, also in view of their historical evolution.

The Course promotes and enhances the mobility of doctoral students, with the aim of encouraging the process of internationalization through agreements with foreign universities. This is the framework for the joint PhD programme with the University of Innsbruck (Rechtswissenschaftliche Fakultät), launched together with the PhD course in Law (PhD-Doktoratsstudium Italienisches Recht/Doctorate of research in legal subjects). The possibilities of professional and academic integration of PhDs can be summarized as follows: - access to the liberal legal professions and legal professions in general (lawyers, judges, notaries); - access to the managerial roles of local, national and supranational public administrations - possibility of integration, as consultants, in the industrial and commercial sectors; - access to the academic roles of lecturer in the scientific-disciplinary sectors involved in the training activities of the Course.

We have organized an online meeting to introduce you to our PhD Programme. During this meeting we presented the  PhD programme in Economics and Management of the University of Padova  and we talked about admissions, structure, faculty, courses, activities, placement.

You can watch the video  here

We offer a full-time, four-year advanced doctoral programme for outstanding students who want to achieve an ambitious training in one of our  two curricula :  Economics  or  Management . For each curriculum, the PhD  training varies  and takes place during the  first year . Most classes take place in Padova, while some courses are organised jointly with the University of Verona. By the end of the first year all students have identified a supervisor, the topic of their thesis, and present their first “summer” paper.

During the second, and third year, students work exclusively on their thesis under the  close supervision  of two faculty members and enjoy a  vibrating research environment  .

During the fourth year, students are expected to conclude their thesis and go to the  academic job market . The department supports students actively in this endeavor. Over the years, our graduates have achieved  placements  in  prestigious universities  such as the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, University of Warwick, University of Exeter Business School, University of Concordia, Tuck School of Business, EUI, IESE, ESADE, Trinity College, University of Copenhagen, University of New South Wales, University of Groningen, and several Italian Universities. Other have joined  important institutions  such as the Bank of Italy, the OECD, and the World Bank.

At least 3 months of the PhD is spent in  a research institution abroad . Over the years, our PhD students visited outstanding universities such as, for example, Columbia University, London School of Economics, New York Stern School of Business (US), Penn University, University of Chicago, University of Toulouse and University of Georgia. Others have taken advantage of the  exchange agreements  of our institution with international partners like Boston University and the University of Michigan. 

The presentation of our program is available  here .

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

All the information about the submission of applications and the required documents is available in the Call for applications and the Guide for Applicants.

ELIGIBILITY & ADMISSIBILITY

The eligibility check is carried out by the UNIPhD Technical Committee at the University of Padua. If needed, the Committee may ask applicants for additional information or clarifications.

A pass/fail-evaluation is applied for on two criteria: admissibility of proposals and eligibility of candidates.

EVALUATION OF APPLICATIONS

A Scientific Evaluation Committee (SEC) is established for each of the 25 PhD Courses involved in UNIPhD. The candidates' CV and research proposal are assessed. Applicants admitted to Step 3 are invited for an interview by email. Applicants who do not pass are duly informed on the outcome of Step 2 of the evaluation.

All interviews are conducted by the Scientific Evaluation Committee of each PhD Course, plus 2 additional members: 1 representative of the non-academic sector and 1 motivational expert. Each interview is conducted remotely and lasts approximately 30 minutes. The applicant is informed well in advance about technical requirements needed for the interview. The Interview aims at evaluating the Excellence of the candidate.

FINAL RANKING

For each PhD position, a merit-based ranking is determined by weighing the scores for the evaluation of CV (30%), project (30%) and interview (40%). 11 PhD fellowships (1 for each research topic) is awarded. All applicants selected for Step 3 are duly informed of results, and individual feedbacks on the outcome of the evaluation are sent to each applicant on whether their proposal was funded. The ranking lists are published on this webpage.

The University of Pavia provides graduate students with a unique experience.

The PhD programs offered by the University of Pavia are supervised by SAFD (Scuola di Alta Formazione Dottorale), the PhD Higher Education School. Our programs cover a wide range of topics and are organized into three disciplinary groups (macro-area): Science and Technology, Life Science, Human and Social Science.

The University of Pavia is very much involved in developing new pathways that allow doctoral students non only to develop their skills useful for future careers in academia, but also the abilities necessary to be active outside the University. The Board of our PhD Higher Education School is constantly engaged in improving the quality of the PhD programs and consequently the preparation of doctoral students. In particular, the School is promoting interactions between University and Industry, as well as international programs allowing our PhD students to obtain a joint degree with other European institutions. Our mission is to make sure that highly motivated students from all over the world are admitted to our PhD programs and will successfully interact with our best faculty members.

Being one of the oldest academic institutions in the world, the University of Pavia combines a prestigious history with a clever mix of cutting-edge innovation. Students have access to a vast library system and may be included in the research teams of internationally recognized laboratories.

Besides studying and carrying on research, doctoral students can experience living in Pavia, a city-campus with intense cultural life, offering an experience which is unique in Italy and rare in Europe.
