For Intake 2026, there are going to be two application rounds this year. The timelines for both rounds are as follows.
First round (17 November 2025 to 9 January 2026):
The application portal is now closed for the first round of applications. It was open between 17 November 2025 at 09:00 UTC+2 and 9 January 2026 at 15:00 UTC+2.
The pre-screening stage of the selection process has concluded. In total, 1108 applications were received. Only the short-listed candidates were informed via email and should submit their application to the POLIMI portal as instructed.
The prescreening took into account the academic merits, eligibility criteria of the EMJM Imaging programme, as well as POLIMI country-specific requirements and geographical balance requirements set by the European Commission.
The final results will be announced in April 2026.
Second round (18 March 2026 - 29 April 2026):
The application portal is going to be opened for the second round of applications between 18 March 2026 at 09:00 UTC+2 and 29 April 2026 at 15:00 UTC+2.
The second application period is restricted to applicants who meet one of the following criteria:
Applicants satisfying the above conditions (i.e., EU/EEA country citizens or other citizens who hold a residence status that allows them to live and study in the partner countries) must apply to POLIMI in parallel until 31 March for them to be considered for "Visual AI" and "Image Modelling and Data‑intensive Imaging" tracks. Applicants who meet the above conditions for the second round and are enrolled at an Italian university may continue to apply after 31 March until the POLIMI application closing date for students from Italy.
Applicants who missed the POLIMI application period deadline (i.e., 31 March) can still apply for the "Immersive Imaging" track until the end of the second round application period (i.e., 29 April 2026).
