Doctoral Programme in Historical Studies - Universities of Florence and Siena

Since 2013, the universities of Florence and Siena have launched a project of a joint doctorate whose purpose is to coordinate and combine the diverse expertise and disciplines that have shaped the research environment of the two Tuscan universities, enhancing the tradition of studies in historical disciplines and increasing opportunities for dialogue and scientific debate.

The chronological scope of the doctoral programme spans from the history of the ancient civilizations of West Asia to contemporary times and offers the opportunity to engage with wide-ranging themes that investigate the processes of economic, social, political, religious and cultural transformations in past and present societies. The presence of disciplines dedicated to the analysis of sources and territorial transformations enriches a course that each curriculum shapes in specific ways.
