• Participation in research projects: Ph.D. candidates will contribute to Transcrime's ongoing research projects on a day-to-day basis, gradually taking on increasing project responsibilities. By the 3rd year of the Programme, candidates will be expected to coordinate a research project (under the supervision of Professor Savona and other senior researchers).
   
• Article for a scientific journal: Ph.D. candidates will write a paper on a topic relating to their research interests under the supervision of the coordinator and their tutor (2nd and 3rd year candidates). Candidates are expected to submit at least one paper to an international peer reviewed journal by the end of the 2nd year.
   
• Ph.D. thesis: Ph.D. candidates will write a doctoral thesis to complete the Programme. The thesis is expected to reach the standard of a publishable book, i.e. the standard used when acting as a referee for a refereed journal article or a book proposed to an international publisher.
