Applicants from other Universities

Those who have obtained a Bachelor's degree from other universities are required to have a weighted average⁽¹⁾ of examinations equal to or greater than 24/30 regardless of the period taken to obtain the degree. 
Successful completion of the admission test (interview) is also required.

The result of the admission test will be published on the personal page of the APPLY procedure.

⁽¹⁾ The weighted average is calculated on all credits with a grade in thirtieths acquired and useful for the achievement of the Bachelor's degree, excluding the worst 28 credits, without any rounding.

Enrolment

Those who have obtained eligibility and do not proceed with enrolment for a Master's degree programme in the academic year for which they have applied for admission must re-apply through the Apply procedure for access in following academic years and take the admission test again.

Curricular requirements are verified through the Apply procedure.

Curricular requirements for admission to the Master's degree course are the possession of a degree or three-year university diploma or other qualification obtained abroad deemed suitable pursuant to Art. 6 c.2 of Italian Ministerial Decree 270/04, the skills and knowledge acquired in the Bachelor's degree programme of origin expressed in the form of credits referring to specific scientific-disciplinary sectors or groups thereof.

It is necessary to have acquired a minimum number of credits as specified in the table

The credits from the scientific-disciplinary fields in both the first group and the second group are counted in priority towards meeting the requirement for the first group. The remaining credits are counted towards meeting the requirement of the second group. The credits from one course may then be counted towards meeting the minimum number of credits from both groups.

If you lack max 10 credits to be admitted to the programme, the Academic Advisor can decide to accept you in any case; if you lack more than 10 credits, your application must be evaluated  by the Coordinator or by the Deputy Coordinator of the Collegio of the Master's degree programme.

Any curricular integrations identified by the evaluator must be filled prior to enrolment in the Master's degree programme. 
In order to make up the curricular integration, in the event that it is less than or equal to 60 credits, students must enrol in the single courses for unfulfilled curricular requirements and subsequently attend the courses and sit the relative exams; this enrolment may only include in the annual personal study plan the courses assigned by the evaluator as a unfulfilled academic requirement.

Passing the admission test (interview) will allow, exclusively for those who have to complete the curricular integration, access also to the academic year following the one for which the admission test was taken (in any case after passing the exams relating to the curricular integration).
