The Research Doctorate is the highest academic title that can be
bestowed in Italy. It is equivalent to the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy (PhD) in Anglo-Saxon countries. The principal objective
of a Research Doctorate Program is to educate graduate students on
carrying out pure or applied scientific research, in the ambit of
the chosen discipline.

The University of Naples Federico II is a large research university
and the oldest state university in the world. Its Research Doctorate
Programs aim to train a selected number of young people, endowed
with a high quality preparation and having the enjoyment for the
research, to a high level of scientific, technical and professional
qualification.

The Doctorate Schools of the University promote advanced training in
almost all the fields of the knowledge by organizing basic courses
of wide and considerable scientific content both with the support of
its own professors and with the aid of the Italian and foreign
scholars. Specific courses related to the chosen research program
are organized by the single Doctorate Courses. The research
activities are carried out both in the Departments of the University
and in distinguished national and international scientific
institutions.
