Research profile

Doctorate-level study is an opportunity to make an original, positive contribution to research in Italian.

Italian has been studied at the University of Edinburgh since the eighteenth century. The first lectureship in the subject was established in 1919 and, today, it is a broad area of study involving a sizeable community of teaching and research staff, language tutors, and PhD students.

We founded the Edinburgh Journal of Gadda Studies in 2000 and co-ordinate the international Edinburgh Gadda Prize. To mark our centenary in 2019, we hosted the Biennial Conference of the Society for Italian Studies.

Research excellence

In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), our research in Italian was submitted in Modern Languages and Linguistics (Panel D - Arts and Humanities; Unit of Assessment 26).

The results reaffirm Edinburgh’s position as one of the UK’s leading research universities - third in the UK.

As published in Times Higher Education's REF power ratings, this result is based on the quality and breadth of our research in the unit of assessment.

Join our interdisciplinary community and undertake your PhD under the guidance of our 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
intermediality

Explore our range of research centres, networks and projects in Italian Studies

Across the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) and the wider University, we are able to support PhD theses crossing boundaries between languages and/or disciplines.

Be inspired by the range of PhD research in the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures

Over the course of your PhD, you will be expected to complete an original body of work under the expert guidance of your supervisors leading to a dissertation of usually 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.

Read our pre-application guidance on writing a PhD research proposal

Go beyond the books

Beyond the Books is a podcast from the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at research and the people who make it happen.

Listen to a mix of PhD, early career and established researchers talk about their journey to and through academia and about their current and recent research. Guests include Dr. Emanuela Patti (Series 2 - Episode 8) talking about her research at the intersection of literary, media, and cultural studies.

In the city

As a PhD candidate at Edinburgh, which is twinned with Florence, you will be based in a world-leading festival city with fantastic cinemas, theatres, galleries, museums, and collections.

Many of the city’s resources are located close to the University's Central Area, making them very easy to access when you are on campus. For example, the Italian Cultural Institute and National Library of Scotland are both less than one km from our School. We have great links with both, and the latter has a significant collection of Italian manuscripts and books.

Most of the city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Old Town retaining many of its medieval buildings and streets.

There are excellent medieval, Renaissance and modern collections in the National Galleries of Scotland, including many notable works by Italian artists.

The Italian Section in Cambridge has seven full-time faculty members available to supervise doctoral research. Their research interests span a broad range of topics in the languages, literatures, visual cultures and history of the Italian peninsula, from the medieval period to the present day.

Details of individual specialisms can be found on the section’s webpages. We have a lively group of doctoral students in the section at any one time working across periods and topics, supported by careful one-on-one supervision and mentoring, in the context of a rich research culture of seminars, symposia, conferences, lectures, and postgraduate training. Visiting scholars and students from other institutions regularly contribute to the section’s research culture. Students are also free to undertake comparative work across languages and national boundaries, supported by the wide range of expertise within the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Cambridge as a whole.

In British universities the PhD (Doctorate of Philosophy) is traditionally awarded solely on the basis of a thesis, a substantial piece of writing in English which reports original research into a closely defined area of enquiry. The completion of the PhD thesis generally expected to take three to four years, and most funding is based on this assumption. It's also possible to take a part-time route through research degrees, and the expected timeframe would be five to seven years.

During your research, you will have the opportunity to work closely with a Supervisor who is a specialist in your research area. In addition to your supervisor, you will normally also be able to draw on the help and support of one further academic advisor and to consult other academics working in related fields. You might reasonably expect to see your supervisor fortnightly or at least three times per term.

In addition to providing specialist supervision, the Faculty runs a programme of professional training for the benefit of all research students. The programme includes seminars and workshops on library resources, giving conference papers, publishing, applications and interviews, teaching skills, specialist linguistics training, and film-making. The School of Arts and Humanities runs a central programme covering a range of topics from PhD skills training, to language training and writing and editing skills. If you wish, you are likely to be given the opportunity of gaining experience in small group teaching from colleges. There may also be opportunities to gain some experience in language teaching in the Faculty.

For Cambridge students applying to continue from the MPhil by Advanced Study to PhD, the minimum academic requirement is an overall distinction in the MPhil.

For Cambridge students applying to continue from the MPhil by Thesis to PhD, the usual academic requirement is a pass in the MPhil.

All applications are judged on their own merits and students must demonstrate their suitability to undertake doctoral level research.

The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities. Visit the Postgraduate Open Day page for more details.

See further the Postgraduate Admissions Events pages for other events relating to Postgraduate study, including study fairs, visits and international events.

Commencement

THE DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY IN ITALIAN STUDIES

The Ph.D. program builds upon a broad knowledge of Italian literature and culture from the 13th century to the present (such as that acquired at the MA level), providing advanced training in the interdisciplinary field of Italian Studies, and culminating in the dissertation. Fulfilling technical requirements of residence, coursework, and examinations is not sufficient for the degree. The Ph.D. is conferred in recognition of the candidate’s overall mastery and original research and contribution.

Degree Requirements

1. residence.

The Graduate division defines academic residence as payment of registration fees and enrollment in at least 4 units in 100 or 200 series courses for a minimum of two semesters. However, the time needed for completion of the Ph.D. degree in Italian Studies is normally 4 years.

2. Registration

New and continuing students must be registered by the end of the third week of classes. The minimum enrollment requirement for all graduate students who are not yet advanced to doctoral candidacy is 12 units per semester. Of these, at least 8 are typically in graduate seminars (4-credit, 200 series courses). All fellowship recipients and students holding a GSI or GSR appointment supplemented by department funding (e.g. fee balance) must also register for a minimum of 12 units.

3. Coursework

Ph.D students in Italian Studies take 2-3 years of coursework beyond the M.A., the exact number of units depending upon the nature of their M.A. (or equivalent) experience. Students permitted to proceed after the Berkeley M.A. in Italian Studies are required to complete 28 units of coursework in the 100 and 200 series. Students entering from another institution or from another Berkeley M.A. program may be required to complete an additional 1 or 2 semesters (12-24 units) of coursework in order to broaden their training, or to fulfill outstanding requirements (for example, language).

Required courses must be taken for a letter grade and distributed as follows:

a) Primary field (minimum 8 units) : The primary field may be a two hundred year period of Italian literature and culture, or a major historical phenomenon studied over the length of the Italian tradition, i.e., a genre, like lyric or drama; a problem, like the relationship of the artist to political patronage; or an interdisciplinary phenomenon, like the interplay between poetry and music. This requirement must be met in 4 unit seminars with research papers.

b) Secondary field (minimum 8 units) : The secondary field may be a traditional discipline or an interdisciplinary field, e.g., Anthropology, Art History, Film Studies, History, Medieval Studies, Music. This requirement must be met in 4 unit seminars with research papers.

c) Prospectus Tutorial (IS 282, 4 units) : In the semester before the Qualifying Exam, students prepare a preliminary dissertation prospectus, usually under the supervision of the future dissertation chair. The provisional prospectus is a concise description (15-20 pages) of the proposed dissertation project, including: primary materials to be investigated, the approach to be taken, the project’s relation to existing scholarly work, and a comprehensive bibliography.

d) Pedagogy : Students holding language GSI appointments for the first time are required to enroll in Italian Studies 355 (Seminar in Language Pedagogy) for 4 units. Students teaching Reading & Composition courses for the first time are required to enroll in a separate, campus-mandated pedagogy seminar (College Writing 300 or Comparative Literature 360S) for 2 units. Subsequent GSI appointments require enrollment in a practicum (IS 302 or 303) for 2-4 units.

e) Individual Studies for Doctoral Students (IS 602, 1-8 units) : Students preparing for the QE can enroll in up to 8 units of Italian Studies 602.

f) Electives : Students are encouraged to explore elective courses inside and outside the department, particularly those addressing theory and method.

g) Study Abroad : Non-native speakers of Italian are eligible for department support for a semester of study at an Italian University. This is an opportunity to practice academic Italian usage and to gain familiarity with Italian approaches to scholarship, as well as to forge scholarly networks for the future.

4. Language Requirement

Before taking the QE, students are required by the Graduate Division to demonstrate advanced reading ability in two languages other than English and Italian which are indispensable for doctoral research. Typically these languages are Latin, French, German, or Spanish, but in some cases students demonstrate proficiency in others (e.g., Arabic, Albanian, Romanian, Portuguese, etc.). Most students will have completed one of the language requirements in the course of their MA. Students may pass both languages by examination, or one by examination and the other by coursework (as detailed in the MA description of requirements).

5. Provisional Prospectus

A provisional Prospectus produced in IS 282 (see above) will be submitted for approval to a committee composed of department Faculty, plus an external member agreed upon by the student and the Graduate Adviser. (The Graduate Division requires that all Ph.D. examination and dissertation committees include at least one non-departmental faculty member from the Berkeley campus.) The approval process takes place prior to the QE (usually at the beginning of the semester in which the QE is taken). Students revise and develop the prospectus beyond the QE, eventually presenting the completed dissertation prospectus at the department colloquium. In the process, they continue to consult with the eventual dissertation director and committee.

6. The Ph.D. Qualifying Examination

The Qualifying Examination is required for advancement to candidacy for the Ph.D. and the dissertation writing stage, and it usually takes place during the 4th semester after entrance to the Ph.D. program. Students are tested in three areas: the primary field and two special topics, and the examination consists of written and oral components. In order to meet the requirements of Normative Time, the QE must be taken by the end of the 8th semester of full-time enrollment at Berkeley. The student must be registered during the semester in which the QE takes place.

Examination committee : At least one year before the proposed QE date, the Graduate Adviser composes a QE committee in consultation with the student. The committee consists of at least four members of the Berkeley Academic Senate, one of whom must be in another Department. The QE chair cannot go on to chair the student’s dissertation.

Examination lists : Six months before the proposed QE date the student submits detailed proposed bibliographies for approval: a.) the primary field of specialization, and b.) two special topics. The special topics are defined in consultation with the QE committee and approved by the Graduate Adviser. At least one of them should be closely related to the student’s secondary field. The other is most often related to readings done in the Prospectus Tutorial (IS 282). Examination lists should be comprehensive with respect to primary and secondary sources. After approval, the student may request changes, but committee members cannot require alterations once the QE semester has begun. Reading lists and questions from past examinations are on file in the department library.

The written examination : The written examination consists of three sections of 8 hours each, taken within one week. Exam #1 will be on a special topic with an interdisciplinary component and a significant relation to the student’s secondary field. Exam #2 will be on a special topic deriving from the student’s primary field, in most cases with a significant relationship to the focus of the student’s dissertation. Exam #3 will be a general examination over the student’s primary field list. In each case the student will answer one question from a choice of two. The student will be informed within one week as to whether she or he has passed, and may proceed to the oral component; the committee will also provide comments in writing. If any part of the written exam is not a pass, it must be retaken before the oral can be taken.

The oral examination : takes place within two weeks of the written examination. It lasts up to three hours and covers the written examinations and the lists on which they were based. While the Prospectus is not subject to examination, the QE may conclude with a discussion of the student’s evolving plans for the dissertation. A failed exam may be repeated one time only, with approval of the exam committee and the Dean of the Graduate Division. A student who is not recommended for a retake or fails the exam a second time, is dismissed from the program.

7. Advancement to Doctoral Candidacy

Upon passing the Qualifying Examination, the student advances to doctoral candidacy by submitting the Higher Degree Committees Form (available on the student’s CalCentral dashboard). The form requires the names of the student’s dissertation committee members. A dissertation committee must include a minimum of two members of the department and one from another department (and all must be members of Berkeley’s Academic Senate). The Department may approve an all-internal dissertation committee only in special circumstances. (Reminder: the chair of a student’s oral exam cannot also chair the dissertation committee . )

Students who have advanced to candidacy must complete the Graduate Division’s Doctoral Candidacy Review each year (this is found on your dashboard in CalCentral). After you complete your sections, contact the chair of your dissertation committee to fill out their section.

8. The Dissertation Prospectus

Shortly after the QE, students meet with their committee members to review their plans for the dissertation. Before writing the dissertation, they update and revise the prospectus as called for, and submit it for approval by the department.

9. The Prospectus Colloquium

The approved prospectus is presented formally in the departmental colloquium in the semester folowing the QE. The presentation usually lasts 30 – 45 minutes and is followed by questions and comments from the group.

10. The Dissertation

The dissertation must make an original and substantial contribution to knowledge. This is usually done by the discovery of new information; the combination or synthesis of previously unconnected facts; the production of new interpretations of cultural material; the application of theory to literary, linguistic, artistic, cultural or historical phenomena; the extension of methodology characteristic of a particular discipline into the subject area of some other discipline or disciplines; or some combination of the above. It must consist of a work of connected expository prose and observe standard scholarly conventions of annotation and bibliography. While the student will seek advice from the dissertation committee (and other sources) while writing the dissertation, the final result must be his or her own unaided work. Good advice on all these matters is available in publications such as Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations , 9th ed. (2018), and current editions of the Chicago Manual of Style and the MLA Style Manual .

No minimum (or maximum!) length is stipulated for the dissertation; but the Department of Italian Studies considers it unlikely that, in normal circumstances, a contribution to knowledge of the substance necessary for the conferral of the Ph.D. can be made in under 150 pages.

Students submit chapter drafts as they progress, and a completed draft of the dissertation must be submitted (at the latest) two months before Graduate Division’s filing deadline, allowing for final comments and revisions. The student must be registered or on Filing Fee status in order to file for the degree.

Everything you need to know about The University of California standards and regulations for preparing, organizing, and filing your Dissertation is found on the Graduate Division web page under Policies and Procedures: https://grad.berkeley.edu/academic-progress/dissertation/ .

Applying for a PhD in Italy

Written by Taru Medha

The process of applying for a PhD in Italy can be long and complicated with a lot of steps to get through. This guide takes you through the process of applying for a PhD programme in Italy.

Do I have the right qualifications to do a PhD in Italy?

Italy follows the Bologna three-cycle framework and requires a relevant Masters degree to undertake a PhD. If you completed your Masters outside of Italy, make sure your qualifications meet the requirements to be recognised as a valid degree in Italy. It’s a good idea to contact your university of choice before you apply and ask them for a prior assessment of your eligibility.

Along with these academic/professional qualifications international students might also need to provide proof of proficiency in the language your course will be taught in:

If the course is taught in English : There are a number of Italian universities that provide courses in English. If your previous course was not taught in English, you can provide scores of an English language test (like IELTS or TOEFL ) to prove your proficiency. You should check the university website to know which language test is accepted and recognised.
If the course is taught in Italian : You will have to demonstrate a good command of the language if you opt for a course taught in Italian. Your university is likely to ask for a proficiency certificate for which you will have to take an Italian language test. There are two kinds of Italian language tests (CILS and CELI) that are administered by Universities for foreigners (Università per Stranieri)

Application process for PhD programmes in Italy

In order to be accepted on a PhD programme, you will need to pass a competitive application process, which is also available for students who have obtained their qualifications outside of Italy. Institutions will advertise doctoral opportunities (in both English and Italian) in various places, including here, on FindAPhD .

Each institution establishes the parameters of the course they offer, including the eligibility criteria, regulations, assessment, research goals and fees. This information will be included along with the advertised project or competition call.

Applications for PhD programmes are usually made online. You will need to submit the following documents as part of your application:

Academic documentation – this includes certificates (which you need to have acquired recognition for), academic transcript and / or CV
Academic references – reference letters are usually required from one or two academics that have worked with you
Letter of motivation / personal statement – a personal statement will need to outline your motivation for applying, your goals and why you believe you are suitable for the programme
Research proposal - you may be required to submit a research proposal even if you are applying for a particular project
Language certificate

Some universities might also ask you to submit a portfolio and a list of previous publications.

To study as an international student in Italy (non-EU/EEA) you will need to submit all these documents through the Italian embassy/consulate in your country

Once you are done, there isn’t really much left to do other than figuring out how to fund your Italian PhD and applying for a visa if you need one. You are then ready to immerse yourself in everything that Italy has to offer.

Italian Studies

Graduate program.

The Doctoral program in Italian Studies prepares students for research and teaching positions in academic environments, and in the world of advanced thought more generally.

The program emphasizes an interdisciplinary “cultural studies” perspective, while maintaining vital links to literary-critical, philosophical, art-historical and historical disciplines. Along with intensive training in teaching language and culture at all levels, we offer our students preparation in the most recent relevant theories and methodologies, including special training in the digital humanities.

Number of Required Courses

At least 12 courses in Italian Studies are required of doctoral students. All courses must be taken at the 1000-, or 2000-level. Students in their first year typically take 8 courses (including the Colloquium which carries a credit for the year). Students in their second year take 6 courses when teaching, including the Colloquium. One of these 6 courses can be a Reading & Research (independent study) course, in preparation for the Preliminary Examination. Up to 8 credit courses (depending on the subject and including a course fulfilling one of the two language requirements) can be transferred from a Laurea Specialistica or M.A. in Italian Studies.

Specific Required Courses

ITAL 1610 - Dante (can be replaced with ITAL 1620 with the instructor's permission)
ITAL 2100 - Introduction to Italian Studies
ITAL 2820 - Italian Studies Colloquium
ITAL 2900 - Teaching Methodology

Distribution Requirements

All students must take at least 3 courses in Medieval/Early Modern Italian Studies and 3 courses in Modern/Contemporary Italian Studies .
Italian literature;
Italian history and anthropology;
History of Italian art and architecture;
Italian film and media studies.

NB: one course can fulfill both the chronological and the field requirement (for example: a course in Renaissance art can fulfill both the Medieval/Early Modern and history of Italian art and architecture field requirement).

With the approval of the DGS, distribution requirements can occasionally be fulfilled by pertinent courses taken outside the department.

Raygun becomes viral sensation during breaking performance at 2024 Paris Olympics: Social media reacts

Breaking , more commonly known as breakdancing, made its debut as an Olympic sport this week at the 2024 Paris Games , with 17 B-girls and 16 B-boys making their way to France with the hopes of securing a gold medal.

On the first day of competition, viewers from across the world were treated to a different kind of introduction — not to the sport itself, but one of its athletes.

Though she was a long way from winning a gold medal, likely no breaker Friday captured the imagination of the international audience more than Rachael Gunn, an Australian breaker who competes under the name “Raygun.”

REQUIRED READING: Follow USA TODAY's coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics

Raygun went 0-3 in her head-to-head competitions Friday — falling to Logistx of the United States, Syssy of France and eventual silver medalist Nicka of Lithuania by a combined score of 54-0 — and failed to record a point across those three matches, but for what she lacked in smoothly executed moves, she made up for in the hearts she won over with her demeanor.

Raygun’s short-lived Olympic experience made her a celebrity, one who people became even more enamored with once they learned more about her.

The 36-year-old Gunn, who was one of the oldest qualifiers in the breaking competition, has a PhD in cultural studies and is a college professor at Macquarie University in Sydney. Her research focuses primarily on breaking, street dance and hip-hop culture while her work draws on “cultural theory, dance studies, popular music studies, media, and ethnography.”

“In 2023, many of my students didn’t believe me when I told them I was training to qualify for the Olympics, and were shocked when they checked Google and saw that I qualified,” Gunn said to CNBC earlier this month .

Unlike much of her competition in Paris, Gunn took up break dancing later in life. She didn’t enter her first battle until 2012.

On Friday, a person who began the day as a little-known academic ended it as a viral worldwide sensation.

Here’s a sampling of the reaction to Raygun and her performance:

does visa works in rostov ATMs? Or do I need a mastercard?

Is there a ATM at the aiport?

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards

In Russia both VISA and Mastercard are standart by default . Other payment systems like Amex or UnionPay can be problematic, but VISA and Mastercard work in almost every ATM in Russia.

//Is there a ATM at the aiport?

thank you very for much the information. I have another question off topic. How much costs the transportation with taxi from the aiport to the centre of rostov about? Do you can recommend a taxi app which works in rostov?

// How much does the cost of transportation with a taxi from the aiport to the center of rostov about?

300-500 rub. Price of official taxi "Aeroservis" to the center - 400 rub (has the desk in airport building ).

// Do you can recommend a taxi app which works in rostov?

Yandex-taxi works in Rostov for sure, do not know about others. For security reasons and to avoid rip-off I recommend use Yandex-taxi or official desk of "Aeroservis". Also public transport (bus and trolley) is available, airport is located near the city.

As always make sure you bank knows you will be in Russia - especially if it is not a european bank

>Also public transport (bus and trolley) is available, airport is located near the city.

That's gonna change soon, the new Platov Airport is constantly bemoaned for how inconveniently it's placed, if we're speaking of Rostov-on-Don, of cource, not Rostov the Great.

thank you for the informations! You have helped me a lot!

I suppose Yandex-taxi in rostov on don is working 24 hours? I have found something in Azov, I guess with Yandex-taxi it should be not a problem with transportation, 24 hours?

Italian police drones scour tourist hot-spot for illegal air con units

The mayor of Portofino – which counts Madonna among its visitors – declares war on the unsightly devices as temperatures soar

A view of the town's harbour from the air, with colourful buildings behind a turquoise sea

One of Italy’s most picturesque coastal towns is mounting patrols and flying drones to detect air conditioning units illegally installed by locals struggling in temperatures of 40C.

The mayor of Portofino says the units are unsightly and are being put up without permission. Residents hide them on terraces and rooftops – and some even paint them to blend in with their surroundings.

The noisy units work to cool homes which are baking in the intense heatwave that has blanketed Italy since the start of August.

The unit is bolted to the side of a building

Local police are patrolling the town’s narrow streets and alleyways, using drones to check for air con units installed without permission, said Matteo Viacava, the mayor.

For those who are successfully prosecuted in the courts, there are stiff fines as high as €50,000 (£43,000).

The campaign against illegal air con boxes has led to “vendettas”, with residents who dob in their neighbours being denounced themselves in turn, according to Corriere della Sera newspaper .

Highly coloured houses stand behind a blue harbour

“You reported me, so now I’m going to report you,” is the prevailing spirit in the resort town, renowned for its pastel-coloured waterfront houses, compact harbour, winding lanes and superyachts.

Portofino is a favourite with celebrities : Madonna was photographed arriving in the town recently, reportedly to attend a party thrown by Dolce and Gabbana, the couture company.

The authorities in the tiny town have received around 40 complaints about illegally installed units, and more are expected as tempers fray in the roasting heat.

A man bathes his arms in a fountain in an imposing city square

“Portofino is situated in a regional nature park and we have certain obligations to respect,” the mayor said. “That’s why we are carrying out these checks.”

He also has his sights set on a new target: satellite dishes. “It is not sustainable to have so many,” he told Corriere della Sera. Cracking down on these “will also help preserve the integrity of the town”.
