Call for Applications to fellowships and admission of Foreign Nationals Educated Abroad

The Università di Roma "La Sapienza" offers n. 14 Ph.D. fellowships for attaining the degree of "Dottore di Ricerca" (Ph.D.) in the Doctoral Schools listed in appendix.

Each fellowship amounts to 19.800,00 € per year; this amount includes national insurance (INPS) contributions that fellowship recipients are required to pay (8,57% for 2009).

The Ph.D. Programme lasts for three years and may be extended to a fourth year (without grant), subject to approval by the School authorities. At the end of the first and second year of attendance, students have to be evaluated as proficient according to the rules of the Schools.

Applications are opened to candidates who:
* are not Italian citizens;
* are not residents of Italy;
* have obtained an academic qualification abroad by a non-Italian institution which satisfies the entrance requirements for admission to the Doctoral Programme, i.e., a degree equivalent to the Italian diploma di laurea/laurea specialistica/ laurea magistrale, or expect to obtain it before 31 July 2009. The equivalence of each qualification to the relevant Italian degree will be ascertained (for the sole purpose of this competition) by the Academic Board of the Schools.
