How to apply

Since the total number of participants is set at 35 and it includes both professionals and students, we expect tough competition to secure a place at the School. We therefore advise to apply as soon as possible, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.

In order for their application to be considered, applicants must send their updated CV to the TOChina office (china@to-asia.it) and complete the online application form. Click here to fill in the application form now.

In addition to these, students only are requested to send a copy of their official enrolment letter/certification testifying their current student status and an academic transcript. The transcript will be used to select the best candidates, both for a place at the School and for one of the scholarships, if requested. Only students applying for a Freetorino scholarships are also required to give proof of their residence by filling in, signing and returning this document.

No application will be accepted after Friday 21st May 2010, 5pm Rome time.

When all necessary application documents are with the TOChina office, the secretary will place them in an individual file and make sure all compulsory requirements are met. If this is the case, the file is passed on to the senior scholars who select successful candidates.

All complete applications reaching TOChina by Friday April 23rd 2010 5pm (Rome time) will be evaluated by Monday April 26th and official confirmations will be sent individually immediately thereafter. All remaining applications sent by the closing date (Friday 21st May 2010, 5 pm Rome time) will be assessed and results communicated by Monday May 24th.

Successfull applicants receiving an offer must formally accept it and send proof of fees payment (direct bank transfer) via email. Upon receiving these, the TOChina office will confirm the allocation of the place. Applicants who should fail to send such confirmation and proof of payment within a week from the notification of their successful application will have their offer withdrawn.

Tuition fees are 450€ for students and 750€ for professionals (VAT included).
