The Selection Committee will award the participation fee waivers to the 15 top students on the merit-ranking list published at the end of the selection process and divided as follow:
- 5 Full participation fee waivers
- 5 Partial participation fee waivers (75%): the students in the position from 6th to 10th of the merit-ranking list
- 5 Partial participation fee waivers (50%): the students in the position from 11th to 15th of the merit-ranking list
Beneficiaries of the participation fee waiver are required to attend at least 80% of the programme (including lectures, training activities, workshops, visits, etc) in order to meet the criteria for maintaining the exemption. Absences beyond this threshold will lead to the exclusion from the Specializing Master’s programme.
The Specializing Master’s programme is residential but in case of non-EU students who, following the selection process, are admitted to the programme and cannot, for justifiable and compelling reasons, come to Italy and attend the programme in person, the Scientific Committee could consider at its sole discretion their request and allow them to attend the programme online. This option could be possible for a maximum of 5 students only.
Fee waiver are not compatible with this possibility, therefore a non-EU student with a fee waiver is either required to attend the programme in person or renounce the fee waiver.
