How to participate

Before applying, students must check the requirements outlined in the "Regolamento prova finale" of the programme they are enrolled in. When applying, students will have to meet the following requirements:

  • start the mobility before the 31st of July of the first year beyond the normal duration of the Degree Course ("primo anno fuori corso");

  • possess a B1 Level of the language of destination (to declare in the on-line form);

  • have at least 144CFU for students enrolled at the Laurea, 240CFU for students enrolled at the Laurea Magistrale a Ciclo Unico, 78CFU for students enrolled at the Laurra Magistrale (excepted those for whom the number of credits for the final thesis is equal to or greater than 30CFU, in these cases the minimum number of obtained credits is 75).

This grant cannot overlap to other financing for the same destination and period. The grant cannot be assigned to students who have already received financing for thesis research abroad within the same Degree Course. For Double Degree students, the destination city must be different from the city of the double degree programme and the mobility for thesis research can take place only after the student has passed all the exams foreseen by the DD programme (written consensus of the UniTrento and partner University tutors is compulsory).

Students enrolled in the joint master EMBS European Master in Business Studies and participanting in the EIT Digital double degree program can apply for a thesis research grant also for destination countries entailed by the program itself (provided that they are not benefitting from a program grant). This is applicable also to double degree students coming from the partner universities Shanghaj International Studies University (China), Vytautas Magnus University (Kaunas, Lituania) and American University of Central Asia (Kyrgystan).
