PhD Program in 
Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE)

Doctorate programs were introduced into the Italian University system by Law 28 of 1980. Over the years, PhD programs have been subject to various national regulations.

PhD courses are activated subject to accreditation by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR), based on the positive opinion of the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR). In application of existing laws, and in compliance with the MUR Decree n. 226/2021, the University of Naples Federico II has issued the PhD Regulation decree reported below.  Art. 10 of the University PhD Regulation defines the Organs of the PhD Course (Coordinator and PhD Board).  Art. 15 regulates rights and duties of PhD students.

 

The PhD in Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE) has received MIUR accreditation on the advice of ANVUR for all current cycles (up to XXXVIX).

The Doctor Europæus certificate is an additional certification to the PhD title which is issued at national level. It has been introduced in 1992 by the Confederation of Conferences of the University Rectors of European Union. It is neither an academic title with international value nor a title awarded by international institutions.

The certification must comply with the conditions of the Confederation of Conferences of the University Rectors of the EU countries, set also by the European University Association (EUA). For the Federico II University, this is regulated by Art. 25 of the Doctoral Regulations (DR/2022/2015 issued 16/05/2022). 

The additional certification of Doctor Europæus may be issued by the University, upon resolution of the PhD Board, when all the following four conditions are met:

  1. Positive evaluation of the thesis work agreed by at least two reviewers, appointed by the PhD Board, belonging to universities of two European countries, different from the one where the thesis is discussed; the reports of the reviewers will be attached to the minutes of the thesis’ defense.

  2. Presence in the defense committee of at least one member from a university of a European country different from the one where the thesis is discussed.

  3. Part of the discussion of the thesis in an official European language other than that of the country where the thesis is discussed.

  4. The doctoral thesis must be the result of a period of work and research carried out abroad for at least 3 months in a European country other than the country where the doctoral thesis is discussed.

The doctoral candidate interested in the Doctor Europæus certification must send, through the ITEE Student Office, a request to the Coordinator of the PhD Board prior to the thesis’ defense.

The PhD Thesis in Co-Tutorship is a way of conducting an individual PhD Program, which involves enrolling the candidate in two universities in two different countries and awarding a degree, typically recognized by both countries.

During the preparation of the thesis, the doctoral candidate is followed by two thesis supervisors or tutors, one for each university, and sojourns alternately in the two institutions (usually for equal periods); the thesis is defended in front of a joint committee of professors from both countries (at least two for each side).

The co-tutorship does not per se imply a joint diploma; the diploma may be single or double, but in any case it has to mention the existence of the co-tutorship.

For the Federico II University, the co-tutorship is ruled by Art. 14 of its Doctoral Regulation.  The student must already be enrolled in a PhD course.  The procedure requires an agreement for each individual PhD student, approved by the academic bodies and signed by the Rectors of the universities concerned. The named agreement may refer to a framework agreement between the countries where the partner universities are located. The Conference of Rectors of Italian Universities (CRUI) has signed framework agreements with France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland.

The agreement must specify the institution where the doctoral candidate will pay academic fees (normally the one of the first registration), where the discussion of the thesis will take place, the language in which it will be written and the language in which it will be discussed.

There may be thesis in co-tutorship for students both incoming (enrolled in a PhD program abroad) or outgoing (enrolled at the Federico II University). Incoming students are enrolled at the Federico II University in supernumerary. The procedure requires prior approval by the PhD Board, after verification of the research project submitted by the PhD student and signed by both tutors.

The co-tutorship concerns normally PhD students enrolled in the 1st year.  The Ph.D. Board may authorize the activation of a thesis co-tutorship for PhD students enrolled in the 2nd year if there are particular scientific interests.

Further information and schemes of agreements can be found on the appropriate page of the University at the following link.
