The FEF provides doctoral training in its main research sectors. For the study of medieval Latin philology, the Foundation created, in 2000, the Postgraduate specialisation course in medieval Latin literature and philology (Corso di perfezionamento postuniversitario in filologia e letteratura latina medievale). The degree is equivalent to a Ph.D. For Romance philology, the Foundation has an accord with the University of Siena, whose European Doctoral School in Romance Philology (est. 2001) has from 2011 merged with the International Doctoral School in Philology and Literary Criticism (Romance philology programme).
