The four departments offer a clearly structured doctoral programme with close academic supervision. Researchers get access to high-level research, and their independent research is supported by excellent on-site facilities, missions and exchange programmes. Academic life at the EUI is deeply international, dynamic and inter-disciplinary, and the research networks formed by our members are enduring and of global scope. Most of our graduates go on to become faculty members in universities, both in their country of origin and around the world. Placing your students in the EUI’s prestigious doctoral programme will reflect well on you as an academic teacher and your institution.
