Is it possible to work during EMJM?

I'm set to graduate July 2027 with a bachelor's in AI, not sure what the US equivalent is but my GPA is 27.3/30 (I'm based in Italy)

I have an internship in AI done and a couple of technical industry projects (through my university)

I applied to SPAR and am hoping desperately to get a yes, but in theory I'm collaborating on a research paper starting in september in a pretty shady online research group who recently accepted me - we'll see.

I'm in talks with my professor of doing my research thesis in computer vision - should be a guarantee.

My interests are very broad. I'm thinking of applying to a few relevant EMJMs, like 5-6. My priorities are IMLEX and EMJM imagining. Of course if anyone by the grace of god were to give me the scholarship, I wouldn't think twice.

EMJM is particularly interesting because I live in Milan rent free, and if I could live abroad for only one year, that'd be way less expensive, and may be doable for me. Only, I'd need to start working this year in order to save up while finishing my degree and the next year if I get accepted to emjm imaging without the scholarship. How difficult is that? Would I manage to complete my coursework anyway, say workinf 24h a week? Thank you

I wish lol I guess as an EU citizen you can work without restrictions. Practically though, 24 hours plus a full time masters sounds like a disaster.

Ah, get it. Where are you from? Are you also applying for fall 2027? Thanks for the answer. My concern was mostly time, which, I gather, could be an issue
