The LL.M. programme is for one year and the Ph.D. programme is for four years. At the end of the first year of the Ph.D. programme however, all those successfully admitted to the 2nd year will be awarded the LL.M. degree. So if you would like to stay for 4 years at the EUI, then apply directly to the Ph.D. programme, and if you prefer to stay only one year in Florence, then apply for the LL.M. programme.
All Ph.D. researchers admitted to the EUI must be permanently resident in Florence for the duration of the course and while in receipt of a grant. The Law Department insists on full and regular participation in a specific number of seminars each term. Full information can be found on the Academic Service webpages and on the Researchers' Guide to the Department of Law .
