Summer seminars

In the months of June and July, four seminars (4-8 hours each) are organised for each curriculum. The lectures are given by PhD Faculty members. Attendance is mandatory.

The students are required to write a critical essay on the topic of one of the seminars offered for their curriculum and which is not held by their supervisor. The essay must be submitted before the end-of-year colloquium.

Those who cannot attend the seminars (for duly substantiated reasons) must agree on an alternative topic for the essay with the lecturers and their supervisor. Third-year students must attend the seminars but are not required to write the essay.

Essays

For the essay assignment, students can choose a topic related to the seminar that most closely matched their interests.

Once the choice has been made, they must make contact with the lecturer(s) in question so as to agree on the exact topic, length (max. 2000 words + references), language and mode of delivery of the report.

The report must be sent to the lecturer(s), the doctoral programme Coordinator (Prof. Enrico Di Pastena), to referent for the student’s curriculum (literary curriculum – Prof. Marco Sabbatini or linguistic curriculum – Prof. Alessandro Lenci), to the student’s supervisor and to the doctoral programme Secretary (Prof. Gloria Cappelli).
