Language in which the courses are held: Italian
Length: 3 years
The activities will begin in September 2008.
For more information on the university campus, please visit the Verrès
campus website.
Requirements
Having not Italian citizenship or being an Italian citizen who has
obtained a secondary school diploma abroad
Being at least 18 years old (by 31/12/2008)
Meeting the minimum requirements for the admission to Italian
university. For further information, please visit the Entry

Not being the recipient of other scholarships, Italian or foreign.
Obtaining a degree at the Politecnico di Torino
To graduate at the Politecnico di Torino, students must attain a total
of 180 credits, including exams and the final dissertation. The time
required to graduate is approximately 6 semesters. However, the
effective duration is also dependent upon each student’s capacity.
Note also that the time required for the compulsory Italian course,
which will begin in early September, before classes start, is not
considered in the estimated duration of the program.
Please note that scholarship recipients must attend their course for
its entire length (3 years – 180 credits). Students who have already
attended other university courses can ask for a credit transfer up to
a maximum of 10 credits per year (30 credits in total). Please note
that credits achieved in preparatory courses or in the first
year/second year in systems where preuniversity education lasts 10/11
years can not be taken into account.
Scholarships
Selection criteria
Applicants will be selected based on their previous academic career
and on their Curriculum Vitae.
Amount of the scholarship
The gross amount of the Verrès Campus scholarship is 10.000 Euro per
year (30.000 Euro for the complete period). The exact net sum is
dependent upon the individual tax conditions of each student, which
can be verified only upon the arrival of the student.
The amount of the scholarship will not be increased in case the
student will need more time to graduate than indicated.
The allocation of the scholarship is dependent upon the submission,
within 10 days from the arrival in Italy of the student, of the
original documentation, which must correspond with the documentation
attached to the online form (see the “Selection outcomes” section
below).
Payment of the scholarship occurs periodically. The first instalment
is dependent upon the possession of the relevant documentation
(residence permit, Italian fiscal code, and bank account in the name
of the scholarship recipient), all obtainable upon arrival in Italy;
for this reason, the first instalment is not paid at the moment of
arrival at the Politecnico di Torino, but in the course of the
following month.
Requirements to maintain the scholarship
Given that it is not possible to combine the benefits received from
more than one scholarship, students who are assigned another study
grant while receiving the Verrès Campus scholarship must promptly
notify the Politecnico di Torino.
Payment of the scholarship will be suspended if the academic
performance of the recipient does not meet a satisfactory level.

download the scholarship acceptance form which will be published
together with the list of selection outcomes, fill it in and fax it to

form (see the above list), to the Politecnico di Torino. Before
handing in the aforementioned documentation, we recommend that you

documentation other than that which has been required, and put all the
documentation in a single folder bearing your name, surname and
“Verrès Campus project”. We reemphasize that the information given in
the documents must correspond to that attached to the online
application form. Failure to hand in the original documentation within
10 days from the student’s arrival according to the above conditions

section)
assistance in obtaining an entry visa. For more information consult
the Immigration Requirements section and the websites of the Italian

Notes
The scholarship does not include accommodation costs, which are thus
totally at the expense of the student.
The Politecnico di Torino does not guarantee any type of accommodation
for Verrès Campus scholarship recipients. For students turning to the
private market to rent an apartment, the initial amount requested for
the cautionary deposit is equal to about three months rent, plus any
fees charged by the real estate agency, if applicable. The approximate
amount of the rent for an apartment shared with other students comes
to about 250 EURO/month per person, and the rent for a small/medium
sized apartment is about 500 EURO/month.
Enrolment at the Politecnico includes insurance coverage for accidents
occurring on the university premises.
Medical insurance for emergencies (First Aid), as required by the law
for non-EU citizens, is 98 EURO per year. Upon their arrival in Italy,
students must pay this amount to INA Assitalia: this is required for
the conversion of the entry visa into a residence permit. For further
information on these matters, see the Health insurance section.
We advise students to go to the Italian Embassy or Consulate to inform
themselves on the necessary requirements to obtain an entry visa in
Italy.

As a result the range of research possibilities and courses now offered by the TUD is broad and perfectly suited for interdisciplinary graduate studies like the Masters course in Molecular Bioengineering.
Over 9,000 members of staff, including 800 professors and senior lecturers ensure the high standards of teaching and research that have established the TUD´s reputation and attracted 30,000 students. 3,000 of them are international students from about 100 different countries. The ratio between staff and students is very competitive and this makes for a more personal atmosphere and excellent studying conditions.
Studying in Dresden
Although Dresden was largely destroyed during the second world war, it is still nicknamed "Florence on the Elbe": The sumptuous art collections and impressive monumental buildings have given the city world-wide fame. Dresden is also a research and science city, as well as an important industrial stronghold. Yet first and foremost, it is a first-rate city of culture, with world-famous ensembles such as the Saxon State Opera, the State Chapel and the Kreuzchor singers.
The river Elbe divides Dresden into the old city and the new city. In the old city on the left banks of the Elbe, famous buildings and interesting sights are lined up: the Zwinger, the Green Vault, the Painting Gallery, the castle, the Semper Opera, the Court Chapel, Taschenberg Palace, the Dresden Church of our Lady (Frauenkirche), which is still undergoing restoration, the Brühlsche Terrasse. All of these can are easy to reach on foot. The new city, on the other hand, exudes an aura of middle-class baroque and shows what Dresden was like during the industrial revolution. The large district, dating back to the industrial revolution, between Bautznerstrasse and Priessnitzstrasse, Bischofsweg and Königsbrücker Strasse features many lovingly restored buildings that contrast with the old, dilapidated houses. Äusseren Neustadt, Dresden's 'in' district, has particularly appealing contrasts: colourful and exclusive shops, fine and simple restaurants, narrow streets with pubs, restaurants, bars and clubs.
There are three remarkable castles on the Elb slope between Albert Bridge and Blauem Wunder: Albrechtsberg Castle, Lingner Castle and Eckberg Castle. Pillnitz Castle and Moritzburg Castle in the surrounding region, are also well worth a visit. The Elb Valley extends around Saxony's capital city and is one of the most beautiful river landscapes in Europe.
