Preselection Application for Non European Candidates
Outstanding candidates who are not citizens of the European Union (EU) member states may be admitted by means of a preselection which takes place every Spring, based on their academic and scientific qualifications.
Applicants interested in participating in this pre-selection must have a University degree which qualifies them for a Ph.D programm. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Subject Test is required for applicants in Theory of Elementary Particles but is also recommended for applicants to the other courses. Any further information which the candidate may consider useful will be welcome.
An online application must be filled and sent using the procedure available at the page http://www.sissa.it/applications by the deadlines shown in the schedule of each Ph.D course.
Candidates should upload the following documents in pdf format:
- Curriculum vitae et studiorum;
- A certificate of University examinations taken (with marks) in Italian, English, French, German or Spanish.
- A final degree certificate in Italian, English, French, German or Spanish. If, at the time of application, candidates should not be yet in possession of a degree certificate, they can submit it at the time of the examination.
Candidates will have to indicate the names and email addresses of two professors that will be asked to send a recommendation letter through the same online procedure.
A confirmation message will be sent to the candidate when he/she will complete the application process.
The candidate will then have to print out the admission request form, sign it and send it, together with a copy o fan ID document (i.e. passport) by fax or post to the address printed on the form itself.
The request form must reach SISSA by 8th April, 2010. Late arrival of the application, for whatever reason, will not be accepted.
Admitted candidates will be expected to pass a qualifying examination within the first year of study.
All necessary information about the online procedure can be found at the page http://www.sissa.it/applications
