Admission

The admission to the PhD program in Computer Science, Control and GeoInformation is on a competitive basis. The expected characteristics of the ideal candidate are pro-active researcher and team player, adaptability to a multicultural environment, and good written and spoken English.

Application

Admissions are on a yearly basis. The call for application is issued around May and is available on the website of the Doctoral School of the University of Rome Tor Vergata.

Admission Exam

The admission exam is held in two distinct phases; three Phd board members form the examination board.

The candidates are required to submit a research proposal using the online procedure for the application, along with their curriculum and titles. The proposal length is maximum 3500 words and contains: research topic, research title, research description, related work analysis and references, research objectives and outcomes, research methodologies and data analysis (if needed).

In the first examination phase, the curriculum and the titles of each candidate are assessed in order to determine whether specific quality thresholds are met. In the positive case, the candidate is admitted to the second phase.

In the second examination phase, the admitted candidates will take an oral exam to expose their curriculum and research subjects and to check their English knowledge. The exam will be held remotely (or frontally, if requested by the candidate) on September 18, 2023 at 9:00 CEST. After the results of both phases are established, the examination board will publish a list of winner candidates. Scholarships will be assigned to the highest-ranking candidates in the list, depending on the number of available scholarships.
