The IIT-funded doctoral courses are structured organized in collaboration with Italian and international universities. Additionally, IIT hosts some doctoral programs designed in collaboration with prestigious institutions, such as the Open University and the University of Manchester, as well as those funded through internationally relevant projects such as the Marie Skłodowska-Curie program.
Students awarded scholarships by partner universities will have the opportunity to conduct their research projects in our state-of-the-art laboratories.
To explore currently available open positions, check out the "Open PhD positions" webpage.
Before starting the doctoral program, you will be guided first by the university and then by IIT research unit assistants to finalize all procedures to work in our laboratories.

Our partner university will provide support to enable you to obtain the documents required to come and study in Italy.
