FAQ

See the answers to the frequently asked questions for the application.

 

Q: Is a pre-evaluation of my degree possible?

A: We do not offer a pre-evaluation; however, if you want to apply and you have a foreign degree, be sure to obtain:

  • the Diploma Supplement, for candidates holding a degree awarded in an EU country;
  • the "Dichiarazione di Valore in loco” (declaration of value), issued by the Italian Authorities in the Country in which the degree was awarded, for applicants holding a degree awarded in a NON EU country. The "Dichiarazione di Valore in loco” should also indicate expressly if the degree does allow, in the country where it was awarded, the admission to a Ph.D. level course.

 

Q: Do I need an English or Italian language proficiency diploma?

A: You do not need any language proficiency diploma: the only requirement is an adequate proficiency of English. The adequacy will be verified during the interview phase of the selection process.

 

Q: What is the required minimum GPA?

A: There is no minimum GPA required to apply; however, during the evaluation of the curriculum a higher GPA might be assigned more points, depending on the criteria established by the evaluation committee.

 

Q: How do I obtain a scholarship?

A: The number of positions with scholarship is detailed in the call for applications; for the amounts and other information, please visit the dedicated page.
