How to apply
Since the maximum number of accepted participants to the TOChina Summer School is 35, we expect a 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 actions, 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 additionally required to offer proof of their residence by filling in, signing and returning this document.
No application will be accepted after Monday 21st May 2012, 5pm Rome time.

When all necessary application documents are with the TOChina office, the program officer will place them in the candidate’s personal file and make sure all compulsory requirements are met. If this is the case, the file is passed on to the Selection Committee, which is composed of senior members of the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Torino.
All complete applications reaching TOChina by Friday April 13th 2012 5pm (Rome time) will be evaluated by Monday April 23th and official confirmations will be sent individually immediately thereafter. All remaining applications sent by the closing date (Monday 21st May 2012, 5 pm Rome time) will be assessed and results communicated by Monday 28th May.
Successful 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and proof of payment within a week from the notification of their successful application will have their offer withdrawn.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 700€ for professionals (VAT included).
All successful applicants must pay their full fees.
Students who are awarded a ZEROTASSE scholarship will have their fees entirely reimbursed by September 30th 2012, provided they have met the relevant conditions (see what they are here). Students who are awarded a FREETORINO scholarship will also have their fees entirely reimbursed by September 30th, provided they have met the relevant conditions (see what they are here), while half-board accommodation will not require any payment on their part and will be immediately available upon their arrival in Torino.
