PLEASE NOTE: the mentioned resources are available at Collegio Carlo Alberto for reference only.
Residents abroad are expected to be familiar with the texts above indicated but DO NOT HAVE to take wirtten or oral examinations.
Selections take place on different dates for residents in Italy and resident abroad. The Doctoral Board nominates two Committees that have:
- in the former case the job of selecting the tests taken at Collegio Carlo Alberto
- 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.
