Once matriculation is complete, wait for an e-mail from the coordinator before commencing work. At the first Academic Board meeting, you will be assigned a research project and supervisor. You will also be shown the teaching schedule and the deadlines you will be required to follow throughout the year.
Conditional matriculation
If you have not yet obtained your PhD qualification at the time of matriculation, your matriculation will be conditional. Under all circumstances, the qualification must be obtained before the programme starts, by no later than 31/10/2024. In order to finalise registration, send aform.udottricerca@unibo.it:
- a self-certification (or certificate, in the case of qualifications obtained in EU and non-EU countries or at non-public university institutions) indicating:
- the name of the University that issued the qualification;
- the date of being awarded the qualification and the type of qualification, such as a Laurea Magistrale/Laurea Specialistica (Italian second-cycle degree programme), Laurea vecchio ordinamento (pre-1999 reform), or an equivalent degree;
- the final grade;
- a scan of a valid photo ID document.
If you apply based on a qualification obtained in a non-EU country but fail to submit, together with your application for admission or matriculation, a document to certify the qualification’s authenticity and equivalence to a second-cycle academic qualification (e.g. Diploma Supplement, Dichiarazione di Valore/Declaration of Value issued by the Italian diplomatic authority in the country where the qualification was obtained, proof of authenticity and comparability issued by organisations such as ENIC-NARIC), you will have to provide said documentation following matriculation (and in any case within three months of the start of the programme).
Winners who apply to jointly attend a medical specialisation school and a PhD programme are also subject to conditional matriculation. The condition will be lifted once the Academic Board of the PhD programme and the Board of the medical specialisation school officially authorise the joint attendance.
