Supporting its mission to promote advanced scientific research in developing countries, ICTP offers a Postgraduate Diploma Programme in Mathematics since 1991 that prepares talented students for PhD studies. This is a one-year pre-PhD programme consisting of basic and advanced courses.

Every year 10 scholarships are awarded to successful candidates from developing countries (with particular emphasis on students from the least developed regions of the world) to cover travel and living expenses during their stay at ICTP. The selection committee aims to select the best academically qualified candidates while striving for gender balance and geographical distribution. The application deadline for the 2022/23 programme has been extended until February 28, 2022.
