International and mobility Programmes for PhD students

Incoming mobility programmes

Incoming programmes are divided into two different types, depending on their duration:

  • temporary mobility of PhD students from other universities
  • incoming mobility of candidates who, by participating in calls for application in their homecountries, obtain a scholarship to enroll and attend a PhD course at Politecnico di Milano.

Temporary mobility

This category includes “visiting” PhD students who participate in any international mobility programme or even the ones supported by their university of enrolment.

Incoming mobility (programs for the entry of foreign PhD students, who enroll at  Politencico di Milano)

This category includes all candidates who participate, for example, in the CSC (China Scholarship Council) or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation calls, and PhD students that already enrolled in foreign universities who are covered by a double, joint or cotutelle doctorate agreement.
