An extraordinary time to become a student

The deadline for applicants interested in the MEG programme closed as usual in May. Following also the normal procedure, the programme committee settled on the MEG aspirants, who will shortly start their first semester at the University.

Unusually, this year's semester start takes place online rather than at the faculty, due to the preventive measures taken to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this extraordinary time, we are looking just as much forward to welcoming the next cohort of students, who will become the sixteenth generation of the MEG programme! Until then, stay safe and take care of yourself and each other.
