Scholarship Study in Naples 2024-25

To strengthen the internationalization of its Degree Courses, the University of Naples has issued a call for applications for 26 two-year scholarships reserved for international students enrolling for the academic year 2024-25 in the first year of one of the Degree Courses listed in the Call. One Scholarship Study in Naples 2024-25 is reserved for the master’s degree in Transportation Engineering and Mobility.

Call for applicants

The Call for application can be found here: https://www.international.unina.it/mediafile/2024/07/BANDO-ENG-Study-in-Naples-2024-2025.pdf

International students who will have applied on the Universitaly platform for admission to Transportation Engineering and Mobility by June 21, 2024, at midnight (Italian/CET time) are eligible for the Scholarship Study in Naples 2024-25. Non-European applicants must have pre-enrolled online through the Universitaly portal (https://www.universitaly.it/) according to the instructions on the admission page.
This year, explicit application to the scholarship is needed. UniversItaly application is a pre-requisite, but it does not ensure automatic application to the scholarship. All applicants must submit their applications to the Scholarships Study in Naples 2024-25 by 15 September 2024 and upload the necessary documents. The Call for applicants refers to the application link. Non-European candidates must also upload the pre-acceptance application (summary) received by the UniversItaly portal under penalty of exclusion. The attached documentation must be legible, in a single PDF format, under penalty of exclusion from the selection

Assessment criteria

The rankings will be prepared based on the sums of the scores obtained by the candidates in the assessment areas as detailed below:

  • Career (Curriculum Vitae, certificate, letter of recommendation, portfolio, etc.), up to 15 points;
  • Letter of motivation: clarity of exposition, motivation, generality/specificity with
    respect to course of study, expository ability in English, originality; up to 8 points;
  • English language certification (Cambridge ESOL, PET/FCE, IELTS, ETS,
    TOEFL, etc.), up to 7 points

The Scholarship Study in Naples 2024-25 will be awarded to the candidate with the highest score among the ones in the master’s degree in Transportation Engineering and Mobility. The younger candidate will be preferred in a tie between two or more candidates with the same highest score. One sub-commission for each Study program will support the General Evaluation Commission. The selection board, composed of at least one of the Rector’s delegates to international relations, the degree courses coordinators, and eventually a Compagnia di San Paolo representative, will rank the eligible candidates. Once the work is completed, the rankings will be published on the University and International websites (http://www.international.unina.it/). This publication has the value of notification, and written communications on the competition’s outcome will be sent only to the winners. The Commission’s judgment is final.

      Hi David

      A pre-requisite for the “Study in Naples” scholarship is to have applied to enroll in an international study program at the University of Naples Federico II. This includes applying on the UniversItaly platform.
      Regarding the specific case of the master’s degree in Transportation Engineering and Mobility, it appears that you have never applied for our study program and are not registered on the UniversItaly platform for that master’s degree.

      All the best!
      Cino
