Letters of References

• Applicants should provide the names of two academic referees and ensure that the letters of reference are submitted online directly by the referees. We understand, however, that due to the exceptional circumstances, referees may have difficulties in submitting, and applications are accepted also without reference letters. References from current full-time or part-time EUI professors will not be accepted.

Your referees will be contacted and will be allowed to submit the reference only after you have completed and registered the first step of the online application form including the names and contact details of referees. In order to receive the references in time by the deadline, you should register the referee details as soon as possible . This is possible any time and you do not yet need to submit the final version of your application at that time.

When you register your referees' contact details in the online application form, an email requesting a reference on your behalf is automatically sent to the referees you have nominated. Nevertheless, it is your responsibility to contact referees directly to inform them of your request, to verify that they have received the email request. Please note that reference letters can be submitted by the registered referees even after you have submitted your application. Registered referees may also submit the reference letter via email, by contacting: [email protected].
