The Eni Project offers international students (in particular from
Congo, Egypt, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia or
Saudi Arabia) the possibility to receive a scholarship and other
benefits to graduate from the Politecnico di Torino attending a
Master of Science course in Environmental Engineering (Petroleum
Engineering).
The project, promoted by the Politecnico di Torino and financed by
Eni – Exploration & Production Division and Eni Corporate University,
will offer for the 2008/2009 academic year up to 60 scholarship to
international students.
The length of the course is 2 years full time and corresponds to 120
ECTS credits. All the courses are entirely held in English.
The activities will begin in September 2008.
Requirements
Academic requirements
In order to be admitted into the Master of Science in Environmental
Engineering (Petroleum Engineering) program, applicants must possess
a university degree equivalent to a Bachelor of Science degree, which
is approximately equivalent to three or four years after secondary
school, depending on the number of secondary school years.
For further information, please visit the Entry requirements page.
Application is open to students who:
are not Italian citizens or are Italian citizens who come from
foreign universities (please see the “Academic requirements” section
above)
are not older than 32 years (by 31/12/2008)
have an adequate knowledge of the English language, preferably
demonstrated by an international certification
are not already enrolled in a Master of Science course of the
Politecnico di Torino before the 2008/2009 academic year
are not recipients 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 120 credits, including exams and the final dissertation. A
plan of studies must be outlined under the guidance of the student’s
academic tutor to identify, in relation to the student’s previous
academic career, the courses additionally required to complete the
program of studies for the Master of Science course in which the
student is enrolled at the Politecnico di Torino. The time required
to graduate is approximately 4 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 (2 years – 120 credits). Students who have already
attended other university courses can ask for a credit transfer up to
a maximum of 10 credits per year (20 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 Eni Project scholarship is 10.000 Euro per
year (20.000 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 Eni Project 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.

Selection outcomes
Following the closure of the online application form, the
applications will be assessed by Eni – Exploration & Production
Division and Eni Corporate University, which will select the students
eligible for the participation in the program.
The applications of the eligible students will be then evaluated by a
special joint commission between Politecnico di Torino and Eni
Corporate University, which will award the scholarships on the basis
of the applicants’ previous academic career and Curriculum Vitae.
At the end of the selection process, a provisional list of standings
will be composed with the names of the students who have been awarded
a scholarship and the names of the eligible applicants that may be
awarded a scholarship in the event of one or more renunciations.
The list of standings will be affixed to the Official Register of the
Politecnico di Torino. Beginning from May 23rd 2008, information
about where and how to access the selection outcomes will be
published on this project website and on the Apply@Polito section of
the Politecnico website.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AFFIXING OF THE LIST OF STANDINGS TO THE
OFFICIAL REGISTER OF THE POLITECNICO DI TORINO WILL BE, FOR ALL
INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THE ONLY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF INCLUSION IN
THE LIST OF SELECTIONS AND, FOR STUDENTS WITH THE APPROPRIATE
QUALIFICATIONS, THE ONLY OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP.
An e-mail message will be sent to all scholarship recipients and
eligible applicants summarising the terms for the disbursement of the
scholarship. This message will be sent to the address(es) specified
by the students themselves on the online application form.
NEVERTHELESS, THIS MESSAGE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFICIAL
COMMUNICATION OF THE OUTCOME OF THE SELECTION.
The scholarship awardees and eligible applicants who wish to confirm
their position must take the following steps:
download the scholarship acceptance form which will be published
together with the list of selection outcomes, fill it in and fax it
to the number +39 011 090 6329 . Failure to send in
the acceptance fax within the given period will constitute a
definitive renunciation and the scholarship will be reassigned
accordingly.

original documentation, which was previously attached to the online
application form (see the above list), to the Politecnico di Torino.
Before handing in the aforementioned documentation, we recommend that
you make photocopies for yourself. We ask that you not hand in any
other documentation other than that which has been required, and put
all the documentation in a single folder bearing your name, surname
and “Eni Project – Petroleum Engineering”. 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 will result in the non-allocation of the
scholarship.
Publication of the final list of standings is foreseen for March 2008
(1st application period) or June 2008 (2nd application period).
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AFFIXING OF THE LIST OF STANDINGS TO THE
OFFICIAL REGISTER OF THE POLITECNICO DI TORINO WILL BE, FOR ALL
INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THE ONLY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF INCLUSION IN
THE LIST OF SELECTIONS AND, FOR STUDENTS WITH THE APPROPRIATE
QUALIFICATIONS, THE ONLY OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP.
We emphasize that the Politecnico di Torino assumes no responsibility
for the applicant’s failure to view the list of standings and/or the
terms for the acceptance of the scholarships as published online and
on the Official Register of the Politecnico.
In all the e-mail messages and the correspondence sent to the
Politecnico following the awarding of the scholarship, the recipient
must clearly specify “Eni Project – Petroleum Engineering”.
Facilities
Tuition fees for ENI Project students are covered by the project.
Students will have to pay only the regional tax, the amount of which
is approximately 150 Euro per year.
Scholarship recipients, together with the Master of Science in
Environmental Engineering (Petroleum Engineering) course, will
benefit from:
One round trip air ticket from/to home country per year (please see
the call for applications published on the Eni Corporate University
website for further information)
an intensive Italian language course, compulsory and free of charge
advice on lodging facilities (for more information visit the
Accommodation section)
additional services offered to the student community (access to the
Politecnico libraries and computer laboratories, WI-FI (wireless
LAN) , etc.); scholarship recipients will also be entitled to all the
services offered by the regional university student assistance
organisation, Ente regionale per il DIritto allo Studio Universitario
(EDISU Piemonte ) at full fee: student canteen service, cultural and
recreational activities, sports activities, libraries with lending
service, etc. (for more information visit the Campus Facilities
section)
assistance in obtaining an entry visa. For more information consult
the Immigration Requirements section and the websites of the Italian
Embassy or Consulate
assistance by the Stage and Job Placement Office for internship and
employment.
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 Eni Project 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.
