The TOPMED project offers students from the Mediterranean area the possibility to receive a scholarship and other benefits to graduate from the Politecnico di Torino attending a second level Specializing Master in Engineering (for more information about what the second level Specializing Master corresponds to, visit the section GENERAL INFORMATION - subsection Italian University System).
For the 2008/2009 Academic Year, applications for the following second level Specializing Masters will be accepted:
Location: Torino
Language in which the courses are held: English
Length: 1 year
The activities will begin in September 2008.
In order to be admitted into the second level Specializing Master program, applicants must possess a 5-year (10 semesters) university degree. Applications from students who possess of a 4-year (8 semesters) university degree may be possibly evaluated by the selection commission.
In the website of each individual second level Specializing Master are indicated the credits necessary to obtain the degree (see the "Course syllabus" section).
Applicants will be accepted based on their previous academic career and on their Curriculum Vitae.
The gross amount of the TOPMED scholarship for the second level Specializing Master is 22.000 Euro for the complete period, from which must be subtracted the tuition fees for the course (8.000 Euro, see below). The exact net sum is dependent upon the individual tax conditions of each student, which can be verified only upon the arrival of the student.
Tuition fees: the amount of tuition fees for second level Specializing Master is 8.000 Euro, which has to be paid by students in a number of instalments.
Payment of the scholarship occurs periodically. The first instalment is dependent upon the possession of the relevant documentation (residence permit, Italian fiscal code, and bank account in the name of the scholarship recipient), all obtainable upon arrival in Italy; for this reason, the first instalment is not paid at the moment of arrival at the Politecnico di Torino, but at the end of the following month.
