The 2001-2002 Ph.D. program: scholarships, applications, entrance
examination, didactic activities
Since the academic year 1995-96 the University of Turin, the Polytechnic
of Turin and the University of Eastern Piedmont have annually established
a three years Ph.D. program in "European economic studies". For
the academic year 2001-2002 10 students are admitted to the
programme and 7 of them will receive a three years scholarship.
All courses are taught in English.
The Italian Ministry for the University and the Scientific and
Technological Research (MURST) and the University of Turin concede four
scholarships, the University of Eastern Piedmont provides one scholarship
and other two scholarships are provided by the Collegio Carlo Alberto and
the Compagnia di san Paolo. Three other students are admitted without
scholarships.
Foreign citizens with a four-year degree in economics can apply for the
program (see announcement of competition, www.rettorato.unito.it).
One of the seven scholarships may be obtained by students who are not
resident in Italy on the basis of an evaluation of outstanding academic
titles without partecipation to the examinations.
Each
year, a supplement of the Italian "Gazzetta ufficiale" states
the conditions for the PH.D. programs in Italy (number of scholarships,
deadline for applications, pre-requisites, etc.).
The
applicants must send their applications, together with the required
documents, to the University of Turin.
For the 2001-2002 Academic year (XVI cycle) the "Gazzetta
Ufficiale”, will be published in July 13, 2001 and the deadline for
the application will be in August 12, 2001. A copy of the announcement will be
found in http://www.rettorato.unito.it/per_chi_studia/dottorato/dottorato.htm
There
are written and oral examinations. The dates of the examination are
September 17, 2001, at 10 a.m. and September 18, 2001, at 10 a.m. at the
Department of Economics via Po 53, 10124 Torino. The candidates with the
best results in written examination are admitted to the oral exam. The
pre-requisites for the examinations are a good knowledge (at an advanced
level) of macro-economics, micro-economics, international economics,
international monetary economics, quantitative methods, economics of the
European integration.
Suggested
readings are, for example:
Varian H. R., Intermediate Microeconomics: a Modern Approach, Norton, New York; (trad. it. Macroeconomia, Cafoscarina, Venezia).
Bagliano F., Bertola G., Metodi dinamici e fenomeni macroeconomici, Il Mulino, Bologna, 1999

In
the first year the steering committee chooses a different curriculum for
each student according to his/her previous preparation.
The
students are generally requested to attend some post-graduate courses at
Coripe (macroeconomics, monetary economics, international economics,
applied econometrics, economics of the European Union, etc.) and some
other special courses and seminars. The courses are taught in English. It
is a full time engagement, with compulsary attendance. After June the
students begin to work under the direction of one or two supervisors
completing their general preparation.
In
the second year they either take post-graduate programmes abroad
finalizing their study towards the topics of their doctoral thesis, or,
residing in Turin, they deepen their preparation in the field of European
economics under the direction of their supervisors. In the third year they
write their doctoral thesis presenting two progress reports and the final
results of their research during the preparation of their dissertation.
The
Ph.D. program is personally tailored for each student taking account of
his/her previous curriculum studiorum. Students are required to live in
Turin.
A
one-year period of post-graduate studies abroad is usually allowed.
The
program is based on:
a)
post-graduate courses given by the Master in Economics of Coripe-Piemonte
(http://www.coripe.unito.it/)
b)
courses specially designed for Ph.D. students
c)
tutorship by one or two supervisors of Turin University or the Polytechnic
of Turin, the University of Eastern Piedmont for each Ph.D. candidate with
regard to his/her studies and research activities
The Ph.D. students are entitled to use the facilities of the Department
of Economics "Cognetti De Martiis", the Department of Economic
