    Selections take place on different dates for residents in Italy and resident abroad. The Doctoral Board nominates two Committees that have:

    1. in the former case the job of selecting the tests taken at Collegio Carlo Alberto
    2. in the latter case of scanning the documents and certificates submitted by the candidates to ISASUT.

    Both Committees prepare an admissions rank that is then cominicated to UFFICIO DOTTORATI or ISASUT who will then contact the selected candidates. The allocation of scholarship is based on merit therefore the first candidates in the rank have priority.

    For all that concerns applications, admissions, offers, scholarships and certificates:

    • residents in Italy should refer to the procedures indicated by UFFICIO DOTTORATI
    • non resident in Italy should refer to the procedures indicated by ISASUT (International School of Advanced Study - University of Turin) which are both based in TURIN.
