Call for Applications
The call for applications is published each year and applicants can follow the steps on this page. For information on the requirements, please consult the application requirements page and for information on how candidates are selected, please consult the evaluation procedure page.
2022 Call for Applicants (XXXVIII Cycle)
The 2022 call for applicants for the XXXVIII cycle is available and applicants can apply here. The deadline is 28 March 2022 13:00 (CET).
To apply to the programme, the following documents are required:
- A PDF copy of a valid identity document (e.g. Passport, National Identification Card)
- Self-certification of the MSc Degree Certificate (in case of Italian or EU educational qualification) OR copy of the MSc Degree Certificate (NON-EU educational qualification)
- Academic and professional CV
- Diploma Supplements (or similar documents) of BSc Degree (Diploma di Laurea Triennale) and MSc Degree (Diploma di Laurea Magistrale)
- Scientific publications (and list of relevant publications)
- Up to three reference letters (submitted by the referees through the online portal)
- Any other academic or professional qualifications that the candidate deems relevant to the programme
Applications are evaluated and scored by the Selection Board in two steps:
- Qualification assessment - The Selection Board will assess the submitted scientific qualifications awarding a score up to 50 points. Only the applicants obtaining a score of at least 36/50 in this qualification assessment phase will be admitted to the oral interview. Applicants are not required to be present during the assessment of qualifications.
- Oral interview - The interview will entail a discussion about the scientific skills and the research that the applicant would like to conduct with the aim of ascertaining their suitability for research and overall ability. Applicants will be assigned a score of up to 50 points. The interview is in English and may be carried out on line through a videoconference (i.e. Skype), as long as the candidate can be identified via suitable photo documentation.
With the scoring of the two steps, the Selection Board will then award a final score from 1 to 100 to each applicant, which will then determine the final ranking and formal offer. Candidates obtaining a score below 36/50 will not be given a ranking and hence, not be admitted to the UME doctoral programme. Applicants will be notified of their admission to the programme using the e-mail address provided during their application. Results of the application will be posted in the UME doctoral programme page in addition to the university notice board.
