FAQ
Information on study periods abroad
I would like to spend a period of study abroad. What do I have to do?
- PhD programmes aim to train students to develop academic research methodologies. This is intended to include becoming familiar with relevant new technologies and conducting periods of study or internships abroad at private or public bodies for up to 50% of the programme duration (i.e. a maximum of 18 months abroad). PhD programmes help students acquire the necessary skills to carry out highly qualified research activities at public and private entities.
The PhD programme Coordinator approves PhD students requests to carry out periods of study / research of no more than six months away from their PhD programme site.
To this purpose PhD student must fill out a specific form available on the Graduate Schools webpage and, once filled in and signed up by the Coordinator, deliver it to the PhD office before the departure for insurance reasons.
For periods of study/research away from the PhD programme site of more than 6 months the request has to be submitted to the Graduate School Secretariat of reference with adequate advance in order to obtain the authorization of the Teaching Committee before the departure. On the above mentioned form the PhD student must indicate the duration of his/her permanence away from the PhD programme site (date of departure and return).
By filling out the above mentioned form , and only for period of study/research spent abroad, scholarship holders will be able to receive the increase of their scholarship calculated in proportion to the exact period of their permanence abroad.
This extra pay will be paid according to the rules listed below:
For period lasting more than 1 month:- 80% of the entire period indicated by the student will be paid before his/her departure.
- 20% of the entire period will be paid after his/her return. To this purpose at the end of the period abroad, the student will must obtain from the hosting institution the release of a declaration/certificate reporting both the arrival and leaving date.
This document in original, signed by the foreign supervisor and countersigned by the PhD programme Coordinator, will have to be delivered to the School secretariat within 20 days after the return date.
If the certificate is issued several days before departure, those days will not be counted for the purposes of the liquidation of the increase.
Form missing coordinator signature or the authorization of the Teaching Committee will not be considered valid neither for the insurance nor for the increase of the scholarship..
How long can this period last?
- The periods of study abroad can last at most 18 months, that is no longer than the 50% of the duration of the entire PhD programme.
Is there any distinction between holders and non-holders of a PhD scholarship?
- For the scholarship holders the authorization implies also an increase of the scholarship amount for the period spent abroad. The authorization have to be delivered before leaving for both insurance reasons and scholarship increase that will be available starting from one month after the deposit of such authorization.
If the documentation is incomplete, it will not be processed for the payment of the increase.
For periods longer than one month, the 80% of the increase will be advanced, the left-over will be credited after the deposit of the attestation of the period.
The original certification, written on headed paper of the hosting entity and undersigned by the Coordinator of the course, will have to be delivered within twenty days from your return in Italy.
If the period is shorter than the declaration, that is, if the certificate is issued several days before departure, those days will not be counted for the purposes of the liquidation of the increase and the possible surplus will be retained.
For periods shorter than a month, the increase will be credited in a single instalment when the students come back to Italy and only after the declaration of the period abroad released by the hosting body has been delivered.
During the last three months of the scholarship allocation, no increase will be credited in advance.
For the scholarship holder students who are enrolled in the third year:- No increase in advance will be credit during the last months of the PhD programme (July - September);
- For the students who study abroad between July and September, the credit in advance will be of the 50% (not the 80%).
Do I have the right to claim any expenses?
- The PhD students authorized to spend a period away from the PhD programme base can claim the reimbursement of their expenses to their Graduate school of reference. The reimbursement will be granted in accordance with the University resources. For the reimbursement the PhD student has to fill in and submit the following forms:
- VM form;
- Liquidation Table;
- Original proof of expenditures.
Having spent a period of study abroad, do I have the right to any extra certification?
- In specific cases and at the request of the PhD student, the Teaching Committee may authorize the issuing of the “Doctor Europaeus” certificate in addition to the national PhD qualification, under the following four conditions required by the European University Association:
- authorization to take the final examination is given in the light of thesis evaluation reports provide by at least two professors from two universities in the countries of the European Union that are different form the one where the student shall defence his/her thesis;
- At least one member of the Panel must belong to a university in a country of the European Union that is different form the one where the student shall defence his/her thesis;
- A part of the thesis defence must be prepared following a research stay of at least one trimester in another country of the European Union;
The certificate will be released only upon verification of all above mentioned dispositions.
What is a "co-tutela" and in what circumstances can it be put into effect?
- The aim of the co-supervision of this program is to promote scientific cooperation between two countries by encouraging mobility among their doctoral students. The special feature of this program is that the doctoral student is supervised by two thesis directors or supervisors, one in Italy and the other one in a partner institution in another country. The research periods spent in one or the other University will vary depending on practical needs and be agreed upon by the two thesis supervisors. These periods will be more or less of equal length. The entire procedure is regulated by an Agreement signed between the two Institutions involved. Generally there is one thesis defence but two diplomas are awarded, one issued by the Home University and the other by the Host University. However, this is not a mandatory condition. Sometimes the final PhD degree can be awarded only by the Home University. The “Co-Tutèlle de Thèse” is usually available for PhD students in their first.
Doctoral students interested in Co-tutèlle have to:- Find two co-directors of thesis (one from Verona University, the other one from a partner country) who agree to supervise their research activity and PhD thesis project;
- Be regularly enrolled as a doctoral student at both Universities;
- Fill in the co-supervision Agreement available on the internet web site of Verona University (www.univr.it – Research – National and International Doctoral Programmes – The Internationalization of the Research Doctorate);
- Submit the above mentioned Agreement to the PhD Office (who will verify it and make final modifications). The Convention scheme must be filled by the PhD coordinator/thesis Supervisor, sent to the national and international PhD Office in two original copies both in Italian and in another EU language and to be signed by Italian thesis Supervisor and PhD Coordinator.
Within the 31st of August of each year, the Teaching Staff Committee will proceed with the evaluation of the annual work of the PhD activity.
Some schemes of agreements useful as base for the final arrangement with the foreign University are available on the Website www.univr.it (at Ricerca – Dottorati di Ricerca Nazionali ed Internazionali – L’internazionalizzazione del Dottorato di Ricerca). The final arrangement must be accompanied with the minutes of the Teaching Staff Committee, and sent to the PhD office that will proceeds with the Rector’s signature.
In practical terms, what does a "cotutelle de thèse" involve?
- The PhD student carries out his/her study and research activity in both Universities and these periods will be more or less of equal length (max. 18 months).
The final exam consist of the thesis defence in front the Evaluation Committee, constituted in accordance with the Co-tutèlle agreement.
The two Universities commit themselves to confer the PhD Degree, for the same thesis.
Can I choose any university in the world as my co-supervising university, or do I have to choose from a specific list of countries?
- Not all Countries allow the drawing up of a Cotutelle de thèse agreement; it is necessary to verify that the co-tutèlle project is provided for the partner university legislation.
Final exam information
Final exam 2017: Phd students enrolled in 29th cycle
I am going to take my final exam. What documents do I have to present?
- In October, after the decision of the Teaching Committee, the candidates admitted to the final exam must submit:
- Request of enrolment in the final exam;
- Proof of payment of the enrolment fees (to Università degli Studi di Verona sul conto IBAN: IT65–U–05034–11750-000000011000 [Swift code per versamenti dall'estero: BAPPIT21001], Banco Popolare, Piazza Nogara 2, Verona, Reason of payment “Tassa di iscrizione all'esame finale").
During the same month the PhD students will have to send their thesis to two External Assessors appointed by the Teaching Committee, which will take note of the evaluations. It will also discuss about the release of the ISBN and the use of the logo of Verona University on the title page of the thesis (Frontespizio) and it will elect the members of the Examination Panel.
In January the Rector Decree for the nomination of the Examination Panel will be published; students have to send to each member of the Panel (full members and experts) a copy of the thesis following the modalities decided by the Coordinator/tutor (paper or e-mail) by December 15th and in any case at least one month before their defence.
The awarding of the degree certificate is subjected to the PhD student submitting his/her final thesis to the University Catalogue for free access, which will ensure it is kept and available for public consultation.
PhD students admitted to the final examination must submit their thesis in pdf format to the Research Catalogue (IRIS) at least 15 days before their thesis defence. The thesis will b3 made public within 30 days after the student’s defence, except for suspension periods that may apply to theses containing sensitive industry information and /or publication rights.
PhD students will also have to deposit their thesis in the University Research Catalogue (IRIS), within 15 days before their defence. The missed deposit causes the exclusion from the thesis defence.
What is the Doctor Europaeus certificate?
- The Doctor Europaeus Certificate refers to a label attachable to the national degree and conferred by European Universities, when the following three conditions regarding co-supervision, assessment by an international jury, multilingualism and mobility of the doctoral student have been fulfilled:
- The thesis must have been prepared in part as a result of a research period of at least three months spent in another European country;
- The PhD student should defend his/her PhD thesis in a European official language different from Italian;
- At least one member of the Examination Committee should come from a higher education institution of another European country different from the one where the thesis is defended.
Are there guidelines to follow while writing a thesis?
- The PhD thesis must be written in Italian, English or another language previously approved by the Teaching Committee and has to be accompanied by a summary in either Italian or English. It is highly recommended for PhD students who intend to require the ISBN Code to follow the guidelines available in this section "Ph.D. Thesis defence"
How can I access the IRIS Research Catalogue in order to deposit my thesis?
- The IRIS Research Catalogue is accessible through the GIA credentials. The PhD students who have never used this system have to:
- Contact the computer technicians of their Department for the release of GIA credentials;
- Ensure that the GIA credentials are still active (if they already have the credentials but they have never used them);
- Ask the qualification for the access to the University Catalogue, sending an e-mail to catalogo.ricerca@ateneo.univr.it.
I've lost my GIA credentials or never requested them. What shall I do?
- If you have lost or never required your GIA credentials, you have to contact the computer technicians of your Department. For further information please contact the Secretariat of your Graduate School.
Is it mandatory to deposit the PhD thesis in the Research Catalogue (IRIS)?
- Yes, the awarding of the degree certificate is subject to the PhD student submitting his/her final thesis to the Research Catalogue (IRIS) for free access, which will ensure it is kept and available to public consultation. It is responsibility of the University to submit the thesis to the national libraries of Rome and Florence and the Ministerial Database, as required by law. Failure to submit the PhD thesis to the Research Catalogue excludes the student from defencing his/her thesis.
What is the procedure to follow to make my PhD thesis to be considered a “publication” to all intends and purposes?
- If you want your thesis to become a “publication” to all intends and purposes you must apply for an ISBN. The ISBN - International Standard Book Number – is a number that identifies a product at international level, in a univocal and long lasting way and it is bestowed to all those products created to be used as book. Through the attribution of this code hence a doctoral thesis will be considered a publication to all intents and purposes.
How to apply for the ISBN Code?
- To be entitled to use this code, interested Ph.D. students must fill in the online form available at this link, within 45 days after the discussion. Afterwards the Ph.D. Office will transmit these requests to the Secretary of the School who will present them to the respective Teaching Committee for approval. After receiving the Teaching Committee decision, the Ph.D. Office will send an e-mail with the ISBN code that has to be inserted on the back of the front page (as described in the guidelines): from that moment, the pdf file must be deposited in the IRIS catalogue as a monograph.
Where should I place the ISBN?
- The ISBN Code on the PDF file will appear in the second page of publication and must be indicated: Title; Author; Type of publication; Place and date of insertion in the PDF Research Catalogue; ISBN Code
What do I have to do after discussing my thesis?
- After passing the final exam with the Thesis Defence, you will officially obtain the PhD Degree. The diploma will be released during the Ceremony, that take place every year, usually in October. If you are unable to take part in it, starting from the day after the Ceremony and during the opening hours you can withdraw personally your diploma at the PhD office or delegate someone who will have to present the delegation with a copy of identification document both yours and of the person you send.
Requests to be suspended from, excluded from or to give up a course
I need to ask for a suspension. What do I have to do?
- The PhD student may ask to the Teaching Committee a suspension in the attendance pf the PhD programme in case of maternity, paternity, civil or military service and illness, on the basis of appropriate certification.
All suspensions periods of more than one continuous month may be recovered at the discretion of the Teaching Committee during the possible extensions year, with regards to both lessons and the scholarship, applicable, although the scholarship cannot exceed 36 monthly payments.
The forms for suspension have to be sent to the Secretary of the Graduate school of reference.
During the suspension will I still receive my scholarship?
- No, the scholarship will be suspended during the whole period of suspension. Twenty days before resumption of research activity the student have to communicate to dottorati.ricerca@ateneo.univr.it the date of resumption. The PhD office will communicate the procedures for the re-crediting of the scholarship to the interested student.
I have to interrupt my doctorate studies for personal reasons. What must I do and what does this involve?
- The PhD students who want to withdraw the PhD programme during the year, have to deliver the form of withdrawal from the studies, written on legal paper (with tax stamp of €16.00).
The withdrawal from the studies implies renunciation to the whole doctoral career and the interruption of the scholarship.
In what circumstances can a PhD student be excluded from a PhD programme? What does exclusion involve?
- As a consequence of:
- an extended, unjustified absence from the programme;
- a serious breach of the rules governing the PhD programme;
- a justified negative/unsuccessful evaluation of the activities performed;
- A one-month suspension of attendance at course and receiving any scholarship funds;
- One to three months suspension of attendance at courses ad receiving any scholarship funds;
- Exclusion form the PhD programme ad revocation of any scholarship.
