May 10th, 2008
Sponsored Links
The Advanced School of Economics (in Italian: Scuola Superiore di Economia, or SSE for short) runs two doctoral programs: one in Economics and one in Business.
The Doctoral Program in Economics (DEC) and the Doctoral Program in Business (DEA) emanate from the Department of Economics and the Department of Business Management at the University of Venice. The School coordinates these two programs, that share several first-year courses and a common philosophy. Since 2008, the School has taken over over the activities of a third doctoral program in Economics and Organisation that used to be run as part of the School for Advanced Studies in Venice.
The School is based in Venice and offers only courses at a doctoral level. The official language is English. The current Director is Agar Brugiavini.
DEC: Application 2008
The deadline for applying to DEC is May 20, 2008. Notice of admission for DEC will be given by June 9, 2008. Classes start on September 1, 2008.
DEC will admit up to ten students, seven of which will be fully financed (including tuition fees and living stipend). One position in DEC will be preferentially assigned to students with an interest in Mathematical Methods for Economics. The School provides subsidized housing to all first-year students.
Admission is based on the evaluation of applicants’ curriculum, research interests, and reference letters. Applications must include a curriculum vitae, a statement of purpose (covering research interests) and three letters of reference (one of which should also vouch for the candidate’s adequate knowledge of the English language). If available, any published work or working paper should also be included. Enclosing GRE and TOEFL results is highly recommended, but not (yet) required. Documentation should be submitted in English (preferably) or Italian language.
An application to DEC must abide by the statute of the “Bando” (Official Advert) as officially published online by the University of Venice. (This direct link may expire after May 20, 2008.) The official version of the Bando is available from the website of the University of Venice following the path Offerta Formativa -> Dottorato di Ricerca -> Scuola Superiore di Economia - SSE. You can also download a copy of the Bando using the links posted at the top of this page.
For more information about applications to DEC, please contact Marta Colombini (martacol@unive.it; tel.: +39-041-234-7963).
DEA: Application 2008
The “call for applications” for the Doctoral Program in Economia Aziendale (Business) 2008/2009 has been issued. Applicants are recommended to submit all information useful to evaluate their attitude to research in management areas.
The Statement of Purpose should help to clarify a candidate’s motivations and provide an illustration of his/her capability to formulate research questions. A typical Statement of Purpose should make explicit why the candidate is interested in the PhD program, and contain a short research project. The project is not committing the candidate to it during his doctoral studies, but is only illustrative of his maturity, capabilities and basic attitudes to research.
One of the available grants is funded by the Fondazione Coin; the candidate accepting the grant is committing him/herself to writing a dissertation in the broad field of the “Economics and Management of Services”. In the Statement of Purpose, the candidate should also mention whether she/he is interested in such grant and is willing to accept to commit his dissertation work to such research field.
Publications, working papers and short essays that may illustrate research interests and skills of the candidate should be submitted. Participation to research projects should be detailed, specifying the research coordinator, the role of the candidate, and the timing of the activity
If the candidate has successfully performed standard tests such as GRE, GMAT or similar, their score should be submitted as well. Tests documenting his/her competence with English language (and other languages) can be attached.
