PhDs

For A.Y. 2025/2026, places bookable by 41st Cycle PhDs are in single rooms in shared apartments in the following residences:

Marie Curie (2, 3 PhDs apartments)

Einstein (3 or 4 PhDs apartments)

Pareto (3 or 4 PhDs apartments)

The apartments are mixed (thus assigned to both genders M/F) and assigned by the system automatically.

Each PhD student may reserve only one housing place; the reserved place is reserved for 1 year with guaranteed preemption for the next 2 years of standard PhD career.

Before booking an accommodation, we suggest checking on which campus the doctoral course activities will take place.
