PhD Program in Cultural Systems
The PhD Program Cultural Systems constitutes a unique multidisciplinary environment. It trains students to undertake cutting-edge research in the many scientific fields related to cultural systems and to operate as high-level, innovative cultural heritage professionals. It offers two tracks, Analysis and Management of Cultural Heritage (AMCH) and Museum Studies (MUST). Both research- and practice-oriented courses are in the program, which aims at opening career paths in Academia, museums, cultural institutions, creative industries, and private companies. Students are encouraged to spend part of their training abroad within the Erasmus+ framework and ad hoc mobility agreements.

PhD Program in Systems Science
The PhD program in Systems Science (SyS) equips students with advanced skills for tackling research on technological, natural, economic, and social systems using mathematical models. Throughout their doctoral studies, SyS students learn various skills that enable them to create, employ, and implement techniques for analyzing and predicting complex phenomena. These techniques involve analytical, numerical, and computational models that originate from first principles or data, incorporating a range of interdisciplinary fields such as mathematics, operations research, physics, statistics, computer science, and engineering.

PhD Program in Mind, Brain and Human Thought
The PhD Program in Mind, Brain and Human Thought (MBHT) offers interdisciplinary training on human mind and behaviour, integrating neuroscience, psychology, philosophy of science and history of philosophy. It presents two curricula: Human Thought: Philosophy, History and Science, which explores the philosophical and epistemological bases of knowledge, and Neuroscience, Experimental Psychology and Psychophysiology, which studies the neurological and psychological mechanisms of behavior. Students will be prepared to face complex scientific and social challenges, contributing to fields such as mental health and technological ethics.
