How to apply

Applications must be submitted exclusively online via the student portal at studenti.unimc.it, under ‘Iniziative’, by 18 June 2026 at 23:59. Please state your qualifications on the form. A selection panel will assess applicants on the basis of their academic achievements and additional qualifications (up to 20 points); there will be no interview. In the event of a tie, the younger applicant will be given priority.

How realistic are your chances?

The selection criteria are strictly defined. Only full-time students enrolled on standard Master’s programmes, single-cycle programmes and PhD programmes at this one Italian university are eligible to apply, and there are 5 places available, one per department. This means that the pool of applicants within each department remains small. If you clearly meet the academic and language requirements, have relevant experience or have undertaken voluntary work to earn extra points, and submit your application by the deadline, your chances are good.
