Requirements for students from other Universities a. y. 2024/25

Those who have received a Bachelor's degree from other universities are required to have a weighted average⁽¹⁾ of exams equal to or higher than 24/30 regardless of the period it took to earn the degree. Passing the admission test (interview) is also required.

The result of the admission test will be announced 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 obtaining the bachelor's degree, excluding the worst 28 credits, without any rounding

Enrolment

Those who have obtained the eligibility and do not proceed with matriculation to the Master's Degree in the academic year for which they have applied for admission must re-apply through the Apply procedure for access in subsequent academic years and take the admission test for access 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.

For admission, the curricular requirements of candidates and applicants possessing a bachelor's degree in class L-21 (DM 270/04) and class 7 (DM 509/99) are automatically met, reserving for the (mandatory) interview a verification of prior career and other significant educational or professional experiences.

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 additions identified by the evaluator must be filled before enrollment in the master's degree program. 

If you need to make up for 60 credits or less, you must enrol in single courses for unfulfilled academic requirements and take the exams. This type of single course enrolment is allowed exclusively for the courses assigned by the Teaching Committee.

If you pass the admission test, you can be admitted to the programme in the academic year following the one for which the admission test was taken (in any case after passing the exams - single courses - suggested to make up for your unfulfilled academic requirements).
