The programme
Overview
in agreement with the University of Trento
Since 2013 there is an agreement between the University of Trento and theUniversity of Verona for a joint PhD programme in Mathematics. The University of Verona supported three fellowships for Phd students for the 29th cycle. Since the 30th cycle, the agreement envisages the achievement of joint double degrees for all students enrolled in the programme.
The Doctoral School in Mathematics of the University of Trento was founded in 1989 by the Department of Mathematics, in cooperation with the Faculty of Sciences. Over the years, other Departments and Faculties of the University of Trento have joined this cooperation. At present the School's Committee includes researchers of the Faculties of Sciences, Engineering, Economics, Cognitive Sciences, and of the Departments of Mathematics, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Structural Engineering, Informatics and Business studies.
Since it was established, more than 70 PhD students have attended the Doctoral School in Mathematics. So far, more than 50 students have achieved the title of "Doctor” (PhD). More than half of our graduates have taken post-Doctoral scholarships, have become research fellows, researchers or professors in several Italian or foreign universities, while others have completed the PhD Programme to start a career in the working world. The Department of Mathematics publishes PhD dissertations, generally written in English, collected in the Phd Dissertation Series.
The Department of Mathematics provides appropriate study spaces for about 25 PhD students in common rooms. Each student is assigned a personal workstation connected to the computer centre of the Faculty of Sciences and to other Department services. The Faculty library features current issues and online subscriptions to the most important international mathematical journals. The University of Trento provides several student facilities for meals, accommodation and buses.
Several, very active research groups in Pure and Applied Mathematics belong to the Departments supporting the School, providing students with a wide range of choices for study and research:
The Doctoral School's scientific activity is also supported by the "Centro Internazionale di Ricerca per la Matematica" (CIRM), which organizes several International Workshops and Schools and by the local unit of the "Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica F. Severi" (INDAM). The INDAM supports the Doctoral School with grants for PhD positions as well as with foreign visiting professors lecturing for PhD courses.
In addition, since 2004 an agreement between the Department of Mathematics and the "Centro di Ricerca Matematica E. De Giorgi" of the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa (Italy), gives Doctoral students the chance to participate in the research and meetings activities organized by the Centre.

Third-cycle degrees
PhD programmes: these courses enable students to gain reliable methodologies for advanced scientific research through innovative methodologies and new technologies, and generally include internships abroad and lab activities at research laboratories. Graduates wishing to apply for a PhD programme must have a Master’s degree (or a foreign equivalent qualification) and pass an open competition; PhD programmes have a minimum duration of three years. In order to complete the programme, students must produce a research thesis/dissertation and present it at a final examination.Academic title: upon completion of a PhD programme, students are awarded the title of “Dottore di ricerca”, or “PhD”.
Postgraduate specialisation courses: these are third-cycle courses aimed at enabling students to develop advanced knowledge and highly-specialised skills, such as in the medical, clinical and surgical fields. To be admitted to these courses, applicants must have a Master’s degree (or a foreign equivalent qualification) and pass an open competition. Postgraduate specialisation courses may last from two (120 CFU) to 6 years (360 CFU) depending on the type. Academic title: upon completion of this programme, graduates are awarded a “Diploma di Specializzazione”.
Professional Master’s programme
1st-level Professional Master’s programmes: these courses enable students to further enhance their scientific knowledge and professional skills. In order to apply, applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree, or foreign equivalent qualification. The minimum duration is one year (60 CFU). Please note that completing this course will not provide you with direct access to a PhD programme (Dottorato di Ricerca), or other third-cycle courses, as these courses are run and managed by each University at the local level. Upon completion of this programme, students are awarded a “Master universitario di primo livello”.2nd-level Professional Master’s programmes: these courses enable students to further enhance their scientific knowledge and professional skills. In order to apply, applicants must have a Master’s degree, or foreign equivalent qualification. The minimum duration is one year (60 CFU). Please note that completing this course will not provide you with direct access to a PhD programme (Dottorato di Ricerca), or other third-cycle courses, as these courses are run and managed by each University at the local level. Upon completion of this programme, students are awarded a “Master universitario di secondo livello”.
Other useful things
Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU/ECTS credits): Italian university courses are based on the CFU system. 1 CFU is equal to 25 hours of study. The average annual academic workload for a full-time student is generally assumed to be 60 CFU. CFU and ECTS credits serve the same purpose and generally have the same value.Degree class: Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes that have the same learning objectives and activities are grouped into “degree classes". The educational content of each programme is set autonomously by each university; however, universities are required to include certain educational activities (and the corresponding number of CFU credits) set at the national level. These requirements are established in relation to each degree class. Degrees in the same class have the same legal value.
Double/Joint degrees: the Italian universities may establish degree programmes in partnership with other Italian or foreign universities. Upon completion of these courses, graduates are awarded a joint or double/multiple degree, one from each Partner University.
