Opportunities for international graduates

The PhD programme is designed as an International learning environment, promoting exchange of experiences among PhD candidates from different countries and different educational backgrounds: a special emphasis is placed in fostering the participation of international graduate students through special agreements with several countries.

Candidates from China can take advantage of the special Scholarship programme agreement with the CSC and Brazilian candidates of the one with CONFAP.

The high position within the Ranking QS of the PhD subject areas (19° for Classics & Ancient History, 51-100° for Archaeology and for History and Anthropology) allows candidates from Chile and Paraguay to apply to the Becas Cile and BECAL. The same will be possible for graduates of other countries offering similar Scholarship programmes.

Specific funding may be available from other Countries (e.g., Iraq), on the basis of projects promoted by the Department.

Graduates interested in specific Scholarship programmes can contact the PhD director for guidance and support.

PhD@ISA: The Institute of Advanced Studies of the University of Bologna promotes a specific call for fellowships reserved to international PhD students.

Thanks to the many relations with specialized research centers in Europe and all over the World, each candidate will be offered an additional grant for a minimum of 6 months of study abroad, including the possibility of establishing joint doctoral training and supervision, as well as co-tutelle agreements for double /multiple PhD degree.

Special agreements, established with German and French Universities, have been funded by the French-Italian University and the German Service for International Exchanges DAAD (University of Bielefeld, University of Heidelberg, University of Cologne, Université de Lyon II, Université Sorbonne Paris Cité).

PhD candidates will be encouraged to participate in international research networks, especially where members of the doctoral committee are promoters or part of the board.
