Applicants that hold a “Vecchio ordinamento” Laurea (Master of Science, MSc, previous to DM 509/99), Postgraduate Degree/MA or MSc or any similar academic qualification from Universities abroad, can be admitted to the PhD without any limits of age and citizenship. Admission is selective, subject to skills and inclination to research. The large majority of the PhD candidates are supported by scholarships but admission is also possible without any financial support, conditioned on admission and on position availability.
In the following Tables, the requirements for admission to the PhD programs and the relevant deadlines are detailed.
