Italian PhD Scholarships Version 05 updated on 19-04-2017

Dear all students who are applying for PhD scholarships. Gear up for Italian PhD rainfall. 33rd cycle in Italy of
PhD Scholarships in every field. More than 200 above offers will be updating from March to November, 2017
From now I will try to update the offers time by time in file attached. This is fifth version of the year 2017. But
keep on checking the PhD scholarships at Italian universities yourself as well.

Why I say to apply for PhD in Italy?

1) The Italian PhD offers are not normally posted in many International Scholarship Websites. But we find
them and post them in Scholarship Network group. As a result of this thing, last year maximum number of
Pakistanis availed PhD Scholarships in Italy.
2) Scholarships are offered in all fields from Social Sciences to Engineering etc. But you have to open the links
and find your desired fields
3) You get more chances if you apply in many universities. The only bottleneck is application fee of
university, which you can have to submit in many universities. Few universities have no application fee. But, if
you are able to apply in many universities with application fee. Then, you will have good chances of selection.
To submit application fee abroad. See this file: http://goo.gl/r2TM6k
4) IELTS is not required for PhD in many universities. But if you have it, you will have good chances of
selection.
*** Important Tip 1: Try to contact professors in universities. It is not mandatory/compulsory. But as you
know for PhD, it is always good to have contact with professors. Try to have good conversation with them as
you will be sure also then that your application will not be wasted. But I say again it is not
mandatory/compulsory. You can/ should apply online even without contacting professors. So, if you do not
contact professors, you can apply, it is fine as well. Do not ask professors for acceptance letters here as
professor have no authority over admission process.
*** Tip 2: Use translators extensively, I normally give English links of Italian pages, but if you find the links in
Italian then you can translate them.
*** Tip 3: Now so many Pakistani students in many Italian universities. So find them and ask them if their lab
is hiring
*** Tip 4: I have posted English links, if you have any issue in using them, then try to translate using google
translator. Open the links and find your majors in them
****** Most Important Tip: After applying, Keep on checking selection/interview lists yourself on
university websites after applying online. They will/may not email you for your selection in most of the
cases. Do follow up waiting lists later on. Such as second, third, fourth merit lists. As selected people leave
places and you can get vacant seats of them
*** The new universities are added in this list are in red color
Best of luck.
