Available positions are divided into:
- Ordinary positions

- fully-funded PhD positions with predefined research topic;
- PhD positions offered in apprenticeship format;

- Reserved positions
- PhD positions reserved to students who receive a scholarship funded by governments or by national or foreign public bodies, who are eligible to be admitted to a PhD programme;
- PhD positions reserved to Research Fellows;

Some positions are reserved to candidates selected by special Boards within the framework of specific international programmes in which Politecnico di Torino is involved.
Politecnico di Torino offers a minimum number of 96 PhD scholarships for the 40th cycle.
These 96 PhD positions will not be all available during the first session but will be distributed among the three sessions, as detailed in the table below, which is integral part of the Call. Additional PhD positions with their specific details may become available after the publication of the Call and will be indicated in the aforementioned table, which will therefore be updated, providing evidence exclusively through this website
An update on the available positions for the first session of the 40th cycle will be published every Tuesday and Friday, approximately until mid-April. Therefore, the absence of positions at a given moment should not be interpreted as a definitive absence of positions for the ongoing session.
The definite number of positions available for each session and each PhD programme will be finalized in the present page within 6 days before the date of the oral interviews set by each Admissions Committee and published in accordance with the provisions set in art. 9 of the Call.
For the positions with a predefined research topic and for the positions offered in apprenticeship format, applicants can find the information sheet by clicking on the number of the positions available.
