The principal aim of the 3 years Graduate School in Physics is the formation of young researchers with :
The student is expected to acquire the capability :
The Physics Research Groups operating at the Department of Physical Sciences, Earth and Environment are well integrated in international (as well as national) research collaborations. This allows our graduate students to access the experimental facilities provided by national and international laboratories, universities and research institutions.

GRADUATE STUDIES: INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP
In view of an integrated European newtwork for Graduate Studies, a Partnership Agreement has been signed between the Ph.D. School in Physics of Siena and the following Universities:
A research agreement for gravitational waves research is active between the PhD School of Physics on Siena and:
GRADUATE STUDIES: EUROPEAN NETWORK
The Ph.D School in Experimental Physics of the University of Siena is member of the International Doctorate Network for Particle, Astrophysics and Cosmology (IDPASC) an European Network of Universities.
In this framework, in October 2013, the Ph.D. School of Siena hosted the IDPASC School on Frontier Detectors for High Energy and Astroparticle Physics.
