BI Norwegian Business School and Luiss University jointly fund this scholarship for students admitted to their two-year joint master in marketing. Students spend year one at BI in Oslo and year two at Luiss in Rome, earning a degree from each school.
The official page still describes the Autumn 2026 intake, whose 1 March deadline has passed. BI’s full-time application portal opens each 1 November, so the next round is expected then.
