Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « referees »: the application is not complete unless the two letters are sent separately, and their deadline does not match the main application deadline. The second trap is the format of the doctorate, which is a full-time employment contract, with the degree awarded by The Open University but the research carried out in Milan. The right move is to secure the two referees first, then select no more than 3 projects and make sure your English proof is ready before submitting. Then file the application with enough margin for the letters to arrive on time.
