Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
A PhD in Italian studies at the University of Edinburgh is a unique opportunity to expand on your interests and expertise, and to make an original contribution to the study of Italian culture as part of a vibrant, research-active community.
Offered at Edinburgh since the late 16th century, Italian was formally added to the University’s curriculum in 1919. Since then, it has developed into a broad area of study.
Join our community and undertake a specialised research project under the guidance of experienced and well-published supervisors.
Our expertise covers most areas of Italian cultural studies from the Middle Ages to the present, including:
* literary history and theory
* comparative studies
* translation
* film studies
* philology
* philosophy
Working with colleagues elsewhere in the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures, and across the wider University, we are able to support PhD theses crossing boundaries between disciplines and/or languages.
Over the course of your PhD, you’ll be expected to complete an original body of work under the expert guidance of your supervisors, leading to a dissertation of between 80,000 and 100,000 words.
You will be awarded your Doctorate if your thesis is judged to be of an appropriate standard, and your research makes a definite contribution to knowledge.
