Admission procedure
Evaluation of qualifications: admission of candidates is based on the evaluation of their Curriculum studiorum and on the qualifications presented at the time of application. In compiling their CVs, candidates must include the following information:
- date of graduation and grade of the master's degree
- detailed list of exams taken and relative marks
- any scholarships or research grants obtained (and similar qualifications)
- certificates of participation in post-graduate university courses
- certificates of participation in previous research groups
- certificates of participation in internships
- prizes or other qualifications that can be evaluated (eg second degrees, etc.)
The request for admission may possibly be supplemented by a summary of the degree thesis, the list of any scientific publications and a possible reference letter from a university professor.
Graduating students can also apply as long as they graduate by the date of enrollment in the course.
Linguistic knowledge: Candidates must also demonstrate good knowledge of a foreign language. Knowledge of the foreign language will be assessed by reading and translating a text (identified during the test itself) into the foreign language chosen by the candidate among those determined by the announcement, and a brief conversation on the content of what has been read.
Oral exam: the oral exam is aimed at ensuring a suitable comparative evaluation of the candidates and at ascertaining the preparation and aptitude of the candidate for scientific research. The qualifications and topics covered by the oral exam must be relevant to the relevant scientific-disciplinary sectors of the PhD course; the interview will focus on a specific topic chosen by the candidate from the list that will be available in this page after the opening of the call.
