High-achieving students

The “Ferdinando Rossi” School of Advanced Studies (SSST) complements and enriches the academic path of students enrolled in all degree programs of the University, offering a multidisciplinary education that integrates the humanities and natural sciences.

Students who meet the required attendance and academic performance criteria are hosted free of charge in affiliated university residences, and also benefit from reimbursement of university tuition fees and an annual study allowance.

Admission to the first year is through a national competitive selection, held in September, and requires enrollment in one of the bachelor’s degree programs or single-cycle master’s degree programs offered by the University of Turin.

The School of Medicine offers an MD/PhD Program similar to those available in the United States and other European countries, designed for students interested in biomedical research. The program prepares future physicians to work at the interface between clinical medicine and experimental research.

Admission is through a competitive selection process in the second year of the Medicine degree program.

The Collegio Carlo Alberto Fellows Program is aimed at high-achieving students of the University of Turin or the Polytechnic University of Turin. In addition to the academic requirements of their degree programs, Fellows carry out supplementary activities in English at the Collegio. The Collegio provides a scholarship to all admitted students, who also have access to research materials and study workstations.
For bachelor’s degree programs, the program is open to students in their first year or later in Economics and related disciplines.
For master’s degree programs, students may choose among tracks in Economics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics, and Social and Political Sciences.

The Collegio Einaudi, founded in 1935, is a private, non-profit foundation recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR) as an “accredited college of merit.” It offers education and accommodation to Italian and international students regularly enrolled at Turin’s universities, across five residences with nearly 800 places.
Admission and continued residence—regulated exclusively on a merit-based system—as well as the personalized educational program, aim to create a highly qualified community of young people who are aware and attentive to the world around them.
