The University of Bologna is offering 30 scholarships for outstanding international students planning to enrol in second-cycle degree programmes for the 2025/26 academic year.
Host Institution:
University of Bologna, Italy
Eligible Fields of Study:
Master’s degree (second-cycle) programmes available at the university.
Number of Scholarships:
30
Target Applicants:
International students who obtained their academic qualifications outside the Italian education system, regardless of their nationality.
Scholarship Benefits and Duration:
Each scholarship is valued at €6,500 (gross) and includes a full tuition fee waiver. The scholarship is granted for two academic years, with awards based on GRE scores and an evaluation of the applicant’s financial status. Continued eligibility for instalments depends on academic performance.
Eligibility Criteria
To apply for the International Talents @Unibo scholarship, candidates must meet the following requirements:
- Academic Qualification: Applicants must have obtained, or be in the process of obtaining, a qualification from a non-Italian education system that qualifies them for admission to a second-cycle degree programme.
- Merit: Candidates must complete the GRE test before the application deadline. The GRE is a standardised test assessing aptitude and skills, available at designated test centres worldwide or online, if permitted. Registration must be done through the official GRE website. The test is conducted in English.
- Financial Status: Applicants must demonstrate an ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) between €16,000 and €35,000 or an equivalent financial status if their family income is from outside Italy. Required financial documents must be prepared well in advance, as submission deadlines are strict.
- Age Requirement: Applicants must be 30 years old or younger by the application deadline.
Application Process
Applications must be submitted exclusively through Studenti Online. The International Talents@Unibo scholarship application is separate from the admission process for degree programmes, meaning students must follow the specific admission procedures outlined on the university’s programme webpages.
The deadline for submitting applications, along with GRE test results and financial documentation, is 30 May 2025, at 12:00 CEST.
For detailed instructions, applicants should review the official Call for Applications and visit the university’s website to access the online application system.
