Study Opportunities at ICTP

ICTP's Postgraduate Diploma Programme--an intense, one-year course of study for ambitious science students from developing countries--is now accepting applications for the 2015-2016 academic year. Applicants must submit all materials by 15 January 2015; the academic year starts in August.

The online application form is available here.

The ICTP Postgraduate Diploma Programme is a gateway for young people who might otherwise not have a chance to reach international-level standards in physics and mathematics. Its goal is to train students from developing countries so they can compete favourably for graduate studies in any centre of learning in the world. 

The Programme consists of a rigorous, 12-month, pre-doctoral course of study, with a small part devoted to independent projects. Areas of instruction include high energy physics, condensed matter physics, mathematics, and Earth system physics. After completing the Programme, most students go on to PhD work in Europe or North America, with many returning to their native countries on completion of their studies. Others return to jobs as college teachers, or register for PhD programmes in their home countries.
