The FINO doctorate provides high-level training in philosophical research, with the perhaps unique feature of training students to engage with several well-characterized philosophical methodologies. The topics and research methodologies are mainly divided according to four curricula:

• Mind, Language and Cognition
• Ethics and Politics
• History of Philosophy
• Theoretical: Phenomenology, Ontology and Hermeneutics

The Ph.D. course aims to prepare students both for the competence specific to their subject area and the topic of their research, and for "soft skills" (problem solving, collaborative cooperation in groups, resilience, creativity, and time management). Through a truly interdisciplinary approach, Ph.D.s will develop:

• knowledge related to their field of research and the methodology most appropriate to it
• the ability to plan, organize, and develop a research project
• the tools to publish according to the best international standards
• the ability to respond to international research calls and to organize seminar and research activities

PhDs in Philosophy can find occupations in the following areas:

• research
• university teaching or in high school
• organizing information, bioethics, philosophical consulting, personnel selection, artificial intelligence,
• publishing
• web-managing

Given the expertise created with the development of critical thinking and forms of argumentation PhDs in philosophy are more predisposed to the new job market that has fewer and fewer fixed types of employment.
The employment rate of PHDs FINO (1 year after PhD) is 85% (three-year period 2017-2020), and there are several professional fields (research in Italy and abroad, teaching, project management, HR, crowdfunding, science dissemination).
