PhD in Economics for International Students, Catholic University of Sacred Heart, Italy

/ August 20, 2010 1 Comment

Applications are invited for admission to the Ph.D Program in Economics at the Catholic University of Milan (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano).
Duration of the course: 3 years
Total positions available: 8
Positions with scholarship: 4

Job description:

The Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore offers a Program, entirely in English, of Doctoral Studies in Economics leading to a PhD degree fully accredited worldwide. The Program aims to offer outstanding training for study and research in the various fields of economics, in order to equip students with the skills and knowledge for starting an academic career, as well as for working as professional economists in private enterprises, governments and international organizations.
The PhD Program in Economics has a long and consolidated tradition of post-graduate teaching and research in both theoretical and applied economics. This Program began in 1985 as a joint project with the major universities of Milan (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi and Università degli Studi di Milano) pooling their resources in a consortium. With the increased demand for post-graduate education, the consortium was dissolved in 2000 and each University proceeded to create its separate program. Since its inception, more than one hundred students have successfully completed the PhD Program, and many of them are working in leading academic and non-academic, prestigious institutions like the Federal Reserve, the European Commission, the United Nations, the ECB, the Bank of England and the Bank of Italy.
The duration of the PhD Program is three years. The first year is devoted mainly to advanced course work in mathematics for economics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and a considerable number of frontier state-of-the-art research topics. Full time research is pursued over the following two (or exceptionally three) years, during which each student must write his/her thesis. Students are encouraged and financially supported to carry out part of their studies at leading foreign universities in order to allow them to exchange and compare ideas on a broader scale.

Admission Requirements:

Applications for the selection procedure will be considered from candidates of all ages and nationalities who hold:

– an Italian Diploma di laurea quadriennale, a laurea specialistica or a laurea magistrale, or
– any foreign academic qualification previously recognised as equivalent by the academic authorities, or recognised by the Academic Senate of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore upon proposal of the Faculty Committee (Collegio dei Docenti).
2-Applications may also be submitted by candidates who have not yet graduated but who will hold a valid academic qualification (see above) by the date of the deadline for matriculation (October 25, 2010).

Candidates from Italy, the European Union or other nations who hold (or will hold, by the matriculation deadline) a foreign academic qualification which has not been declared equivalent to an Italian degree, should request recognition of equivalency of their academic qualification in their application for the selection procedure, only for the purpose of admission to the Doctoral Program.
To this end, documents necessary for the Faculty Committee (Collegio dei Docenti) to reach a decision regarding the recognition of equivalency should be enclosed with the application.
