Which pool of candidates do you belong to?
EU candidates There are 30 (thirty) available seats for EU citizens living anywhere and non-EU citizens living in Italy legally (with a “permesso di soggiorno”/residence permit), who will be ranked in the EU Ranking. You should apply as a EU candidate if you fall under any of the following categories: - You have a passport of one of the countries mentioned below* and you live anywhere around the world; (eg. You have a Spanish passport and you live in the Philippines) - You don’t have a passport of any of the countries mentioned below* BUT you live in Italy and have a valid permesso di soggiorno/residence permit; (eg. You have a Colombian passport and you live in Italy with a valid residence permit) - You have more than one passport, for example a non-EU passport AND a EU passport and you live anywhere in the world. The EU passport always takes priority as mentioned in the Application Guidelines; (eg. You have a Brazilian and a Portuguese passport, you live in Brazil).
NON-EU candidates There are 50 (fifty) available seats for non-EU citizens living abroad (that is students requiring a student visa): who will be ranked in the NON-EU Ranking. You should apply as a NON-EU candidate if you fall under the following category: - You don’t have a passport of any of the countries mentioned below* and you live anywhere in the world (excluding Italy). (eg. You have a UK passport and you live in the UK.) (eg. You have a Korean passport and you live in Korea.) (eg. You have a US passport and you live in France.) (eg. You have an Indian passport and you live in the UAE.)
