The University of Milan has launched the fourth round of Renato Treves International Research Doctorate in "Law and Society", established by the University of Milan and relative to the University of Milan Graduate School in Law Sciences, for the year 2009.
The research doctorate course is run in partnership with the University of Milan-Bicocca, the University of Insubria, the University of Bologna, the University of Urbino, the Centro nazionale di prevenzione e difesa sociale in Milan, the University of Lund, the Carlos III University of Madrid, the University of Antwerp, the University of the Basque Country and the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law. An agreement between the above mentioned Institutions has been signed for the academic years 2007/2010.
Upon this agreement the University of Milan and every above mentioned Italian and foreign partner participate, through their specific competences and educational structures, to set up a doctoral international educational programme in "Law and Society".
This Doctorate course offers an international training curriculum whose purpose is to train research doctors to be not only experts in "contextualised" research into legal institutions, but also aware of the ethical and political dimension of the field studied.
PhD doctorate candidates are trained both by taking part in intensive courses, whose character is eminently that of the seminar, held at the University of Milan and/or the other Italian and foreign universities participating in the programme, as well as at the Centro nazionale di prevenzione e difesa sociale in Milan, and above all by conducting their own individual research projects, in which they are expected to
ensure the maximum degree of integration between benchmark theories and research methods.
Held mostly in English, the doctorate course includes a six-month period of study and research at the partner institutions or at other related scientific institutions.
At the end of this period of study and research and once a positive evaluation has been achieved, the PhD student will attain the qualification of Research Doctor issued by the University of Milan, on condition that the period of training is recognised by the foreign partner universities, which may also recognise the same qualification, subject at times to the candidate having completed an additional
period of study and research.
The Renato Treves International Research Doctorate in "Law and Society" is relative to the Italian study area 11 – Law Sciences and to the scientific-discipli nary sectors IUS/20 and SPS/12, shall last three years and is co-ordinated by Professor Vincenzo Ferrari, Full Professor by the Faculty of Law of the University of Milan in the scientific-discipli nary sector IUS/20 – Philosophy of Law.
