Doutorado em Filosofia

The third cycle concludes the philosophical specialization with the achievement of a Doctoral Degree. The student must attend monographic courses (Doctoral Lecture Series) and writes the thesis under a director; the work must bring an effective contribution to the philosophical research.

To obtain the Doctoral Diploma need to publish the entire thesis or the main part.

Under the tutelage of the School of Theology, the Higher Institute of Religious Studies “all’Apollinare” (ISSRA) was established in 1986 as an integral part of the University.

The Institute has a specific didactic methodology, which offers the traditional forms of teaching (lessons, written assignments, oral examinations) in a flexible form, suited to those who for geographical, professional or family reasons are unable to attend an Institute that requires daily attendance.

The University has an esteemed Department of Languages, which co-ordinates teaching of both classic and modern languages. In addition, Santa Croce’s interdisciplinary Center for Priestly Formation provides a systematic pastoral and spiritual formation.
