PhD course Teramo (Ita)-Zadar (Hvr)

The Ph.D programme in Sociology of Regional Development, leading to a Joint Doctoral Degree, is organised by the University of Zadar (HR – coordinating university) and the University of Teramo (I). It has started in the academic year 2010/2011 and is the first Joint Doctoral Programme offered by a consortium of an Italian and a Croatian university in the Adriatic-Ionian region on the subject of regional and local development.
The doctoral programme organized by the universities of Zadar and Teramo is one of the first major academic outgrowths of the many initiatives stressing the importance of academic cooperation in the region from the 1990s onwards such as the Adriatic-Ionian Initiative, the Adriatic Euroregion, the Central European Initiative, the Adriatic-Ionian University Network and the Euro Mediterranean University.
Consistently with the requirements of the Bologna reform, the workload of the doctoral programme amounts to 180 ECTS credits. In other words, the overall minimum duration of stud¬ies is six semesters, out of which a minimum of 30 ECTS have to be achieved at one of the two core partner universities (Zadar and Teramo). Students can also apply to spend an additional semester at one of the mobility partners of the programme.
Admission to this Ph.D programme is normally only granted to persons who have both completed an academic degree of at least 180 ECTS credits and a graduate degree of at least 120 ECTS (bachelor’s degree or equivalent programme of at least 180 ECTS, plus graduate degree such as Magistar for Croatia or Laurea Magistrale for Italy).
Costs for participation in the Ph.D programme, travel expenses and costs for room and board must be covered by the students themselves. Financial subsidies can be applied for through ex¬isting and forthcoming mobility programmes and grants.
