Candidates from Other Countries

Candidates not eligible for any EUI programme grant

Candidates who are not eligible for grants from the Associate Member States or other EUI grant programmes, may apply by submitting the EUI on-line application form by the annual deadline of 31 January.

Their application will be examined bearing in mind two possibilities for admission:

 

1. Admission with one of the EUI's own doctoral grants       

 

2. Admission with an externally funded grant:

Admission is possible for a limited number of applicants who are able to guarantee external sponsorship. Payment of fees and maintenance grant must be through a national or private grant foundation. The candidate’s external sponsorship must:

• guarantee sufficient funds (minimum € 1,200 a month) to support the candidate in Florence during the programme (48 months)
• pay the EUI tuition fees of € 12,000 a year (non-EU nationals only)

The Principal is authorised to reduce or waive fees for candidates from developing countries.

The EUI is not in a position to give assistance in finding external financial support.

Self-financing candidates are not admitted.

 

Need for early decision on admission

Candidates who need to apply for a grant from a government authority/grant foundation that applies a deadline that does not fit into the EUI selection schedule, may exceptionally request an earlier decision on admission.

In no case can a decision be taken any earlier than the EUI annual deadline for application - 31 January.

Candidates must contact applyres@eui.eu   and be prepared to supply all details as to why an early answer is necessary.

The Institute will examine such requests on a case-by-case basis and will try to assist the applicant within all reasonable limits.
