Admissions
Admission to the PhD programmes occurs through participation in the calls for applications issued by the IMT School around March/April of each year.
The complete open calls and participation methods are available at the following links.
You can participate in the competition if you possess:
- A Master's or Specialist degree, pursuant to Italian Ministerial Decree (D.M.) No. 509 of November 3, 1999, and subsequent amendments, or a four-year or five-year degree obtained under the previous regulations, or a qualification obtained abroad and declared equivalent;
- A qualification obtained abroad that has not yet been declared equivalent to the aforementioned qualifications, provided that it grants access to a PhD program in the country where it was obtained and is recognized as suitable by the Admissions Committee solely for the purpose of admission to the competition.
Knowledge of the English language is required, as all lessons are held in English. Certifications to prove this are not necessary; it will be sufficient to self-certify your level of knowledge by selecting one of the levels provided in the dedicated section of the online application form. The Selection Committee will verify the requirement during the admission interview.
Candidates who expect to obtain a valid academic qualification for admission by October 31st of the current year may also participate in the competition.
The application for admission can only be submitted by completing the online form (registration is required), providing all the information and documents requested in the call for applications.
Information and documents included in the application for admission can be modified and updated until the application is submitted.
Changes are not possible after the application has been submitted.
The application for admission cannot be submitted after the deadline indicated in the call for applications.
Due to the high number of information and documents to process and the considerable number of participants, candidates are encouraged to submit their application well in advance of the call deadline to avoid last-minute congestion in the procedure!
For further information on the calls for applications, candidates can contact the PhD and Advanced Education Office via email at phdapplications@imtlucca.it or by phone at (+39 0583 4326530).
