How realistic are your chances?

This award has very strict eligibility criteria. Only Master’s students on two specific degree programmes at the University of Pisa who are writing a dissertation on a specified topic may apply, meaning that very few people meet the requirements. If your degree programme and your dissertation meet these exact criteria, your chances are good. Choosing the prescribed topic for your dissertation at an early stage is the most important factor in your favour.
