MMP graduation

Scientists at all stages of their careers can advance their knowledge in physics and mathematics through ICTP's education and training programmes.  

These include pre-PhD programmes that help prepare students for the rigors of doctorate study. The Centre offers a number of masters and PhD degree programmes jointly with Italian and European universities. 

Scientists who want to maintain their connection to ICTP can participate in the Centre’s Associates Scheme, which supports sabbatical visits over a period of several years.
