The University of Verona has opened a public selection call for admission to its PhD programmes, XLII cycle. The call includes the awarding of 104 PhD scholarships across different doctoral programmes.

A PhD is the highest level of university education in the Italian academic system. At the University of Verona, PhD study is designed to help students develop advanced independent research skills and complete an original research project, normally over a three-year period.

At Darrab Education, we recommend this opportunity for strong Master’s graduates who want to pursue doctoral research in Italy. Applicants should carefully check the specific PhD programme page because each programme may have different research areas, positions, selection rules, documents, and interview requirements.

Hold an Italian Laurea Magistrale, Laurea Specialistica, or equivalent qualification.
International applicants may apply with a foreign Master’s-level degree, such as a Master of Science or Master of Arts, if the degree allows access to PhD study in the country where it was awarded.
Applicants with foreign degrees must upload supporting documents such as:
- Bachelor’s degree certificate and transcript,
- Master’s degree certificate and transcript,
- diploma supplement, if available.
Documents can usually be submitted in Italian, English, Spanish, or French.
Documents in other languages must include a certified translation.
Current Master’s students may apply if they expect to graduate by the enrolment date. If selected, they receive a conditional offer and must submit the final graduation certificate by the required deadline.
Each PhD programme may have its own additional requirements, so applicants must check the page of their chosen programme.
