Give the names of two referees on your application form. If you are applying to the Economics Department, specify three referees. Letters of reference received by the EUI will be matched with the names on the form. Any letter not matching these names will be automatically disregarded.
Referees can send their references before you submit your application, but you are responsible for ensuring that references submitted by your referees reach the EUI by the deadline of 31 January.
Letters of reference from current full-time or part-time EUI professors are not accepted except:
-
where the application is from a researcher already registered for an EUI degree (i.e. transfer from LL.M. to Ph.D.)
-
where the professor is a member of a different EUI department to the one where the candidate is applying, and who is able to comment on the academic qualities of the candidate
