National PhD Programmes

The University of Padua is the administrative site of the national PhD Programme:

The University of Padua is also a partner in the setting up of doctorates of national interest provided for by MD 226/21 in which leading Italian universities and important research institutions are involved.

In each national doctorate, the University of Padua has awarded at least one topic-related doctoral scholarship from the funds of MD 629/2024 and MD 630/2024 or fully funded the scholarship.

The selection procedures are active at the administrative offices of national doctoral programmes.
