The Ph.D. program in Science and Management of Climate Change is a joint initiative between Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC). The program offers a 4-year fully-funded scholarship, including one year of full-time coursework, with worldwide research opportunities and connections to a broad international network of top-level universities and research centers in the field, as well as placement in highly renowned institutions afterward. The program is conducted entirely in English.
Students benefit from a balance between teaching and learning through a mix of lectures, seminars, external speakers, discussion group exercises, and case studies. Credits are acquired by attending the courses and by passing a final exam. Attendance is mandatory. Seminars, guest lectures, and elective thematic courses are organized throughout the year to facilitate interaction among students from different cycles and different programs and guests from important research centers and universities.
Students complete their coursework in Venice during the first year, while from the second year onward, they develop their research projects and work on their final Ph.D. dissertations. After completing the first year, Ph.D. students must spend a period researching in a foreign institution or university to be agreed with the tutor and approved by the Ph.D. Board. International referees will externally review all Ph.D. thesis. Ph.D. students completing their studies and receiving their PhDs will also receive the qualification of MPhil in Science and Management of Climate Change at the end of their 4-year program.
