Admission

The PhD programme in Bio-Chemical Sciences has an expected length of 3 years.
At least 3 PhD students enter the programme every year.

The Course aims at selecting the best candidates, applying from all over the country as well as from abroad.
Admission is by competition, which is open to people of all ages and citizenship who already have a Laurea Magistrale, issued in Italy, or an equivalent academic qualification issued by a foreign university and recognized by the academic authorities, or by interuniversity agreement of cooperation and mobility.

Competitions are held annually, with details being published each year before summer.

The selection of candidates is based on their ability to conduct research, demonstrated during an interview, in which the candidate must demonstrate knowledge of basic scientific methods as well as the ability to develop a research project of their choice.

The candidate-tutor pairing is done by proceeding in order of ranking and on the basis of the candidates' preferences, compatible with the availability of a project and funding from the potential tutors.
