Program Overview

Top International Managers in Engineering

The Top International Managers in Engineering (T.I.M.E.) project allows students of Engineering to attend a second-cycle course (master's degree) of excellence at one of the foreign universities in the consortium.

Program Description

The program consists of integrated courses that provide a three-year training path (one year at the University of Padova and two years at the foreign university) and the achievement of 60 additional credits compared to the number normally required for the master's degree.

Admission Criteria

To participate in the program, students must be enrolled in the first year of a master's degree course in Engineering. The selection process involves a call for applications, and candidates must submit their applications through the Uniweb platform.

Financial Support

Participants in the program may be eligible for financial support, including Erasmus mobility grants and additional funding from the University of Padova.

Program Structure

The program can be structured in different ways, depending on the destination university and the level of the students. The standard path is accessible to students already enrolled in the first year of a master's degree course, who will be required to attend an additional two years at one of the partner institutions.

Double Degree

At the end of the program, students will be awarded a double degree from the University of Padova and the foreign university where they completed their training.

Finanziamento

Per il primo anno di studi presso la sede straniera ai partecipanti al progetto T.I.M.E, selezionati per mete Europee, verrà riconosciuto, salvo loro ineleggibilità, lo "status" di studentesse e studenti Erasmus e percepiranno la relativa borsa di mobilità e tutte le integrazioni previste dalla normativa regionale ed universitaria, per il numero di mesi effettivamente trascorsi presso l'università ospitante, fino ad un massimo di 10 mensilità per anno.
Le studentesse e gli studenti vincitori sono pertanto tenuti al rispetto di tutti i regolamenti previsti dal bando Erasmus 2022/2023 ( ), in particolare la redazione di un Learning Agreement prima della partenza e la predisposizione di un piano di studio.

Previa disponibilità di specifici fondi di bilancio, l'Ateneo provvede ad erogare integrazioni per il primo e secondo anno di mobilità, fino ad un importo massimo pari a euro 500 mensili (compresivi della borsa Erasmus per il primo anno), per un massimo di 10 mensilità per anno accademico.

Le persone selezionate per la Yokohama University beneficeranno di un finanziamento pari a 700 euro al mese, previa disponibilità di specifici fondi di bilancio.
