The applicants will be ranked, and the top candidates will be invited for an interview by video-conference.

2. max 8′: present the latest research project (based on your preference) in which you have been involved - max 8′: explain your motivation for choosing EMOTION and the non-clinical or clinical pathway and what you expect from the Master’s programme

APPEAL PROCEDURE
To appeal you will need to write formally to: application.emotion@uniupo.it describing your case and the reasons for which you believe your application was dealt differently compared to those of other applicants or should have been dealt differently. The e-mail should be addressed also to the Chancellor of the University (who should be in cc; segreteria.rettore@uniupo.it).
The appeal must be sent within 7 days from the notification of the result.
The letter should contain the basis of your appeal: for example why you believe your application was dealt differently or unfairly or why you believe instructions on the website and on the application portal were not sufficiently clear and led you in error. You may refer to any written correspondence you had during the application process.
Once an appeal is received, the Joint Consortium Board, in agreement with the Chancellor of the university, will name an Application Appeal Committee. If your appeal is successful, your application will be re-evaluated. Only one appeal is possible.
