Selection procedure

Please note that you won't be charged any fee to take part in the whole application and selection process.

The Evaluation Committee will meet twice:
  1. In the period 9 March – April 15 2021 the Evaluation Committee will evaluate all the applications successfully submitted by 1 pm 8 March 2021 and will draw up an Absolute Ranking List (ARL-A).
  2. In the period 2 – 31 May 2021 the Evaluation Committee will evaluate all the applications submitted from 1 pm 8 March 2021 to 1 pm 30 April 2021, and will draw up another Absolute Ranking List (ARL-B). 

The evaluation committee will merge the two ranking lists (ARL-A and ARL-B) to draw up the final absolute ranking list, which will be used to apply for funding opportunities.

The Evaluation Committee will then meet again in mid-August in order to finalize the pre-enrollments and to remove from the list the students who will not have certified the accomplishment of their bachelor's degree (or equivalent).
