Criminology

According to the Italian Ministry of Education, the base-level scholarship amount is €16,243.00 gross per year. Ph.D. scholarships are tax-exempt but require the payment of social security contributions.

In recognition of the candidate's cooperation with Transcrime’s activities, first-year candidates may receive an additional annual scholarship of up to about €5,450 gross. Second and third-year candidates may receive an additional yearly scholarship of about €7,700 gross. The additional scholarship will be awarded for each month of collaboration with Transcrime. This additional fee will be recalculated if the base-level scholarship, established in accordance with the law, is updated.

The base-level scholarship is increased by 50% for stays abroad. As of the first year, candidates will have a research expenses budget amounting to 10% of the gross annual base-level scholarship. To promote the international scope of the Ph.D., the admitted candidates with a Master’s Degree from a foreign university and residing abroad may be reimbursed up to € 5,000 for documented travel and lodging expenses incurred during the first year of the Ph.D. due to their moving to Milan.

Every year, the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore sets the annual amount of the tuition fees. For the XLII Cycle of the International Ph.D. in Criminology, Ph.D. candidates will be required to pay a tuition fee amounting to about € 836 per year, to be paid in two instalments.
