Within the limit of 10 cfu the Course Coordinator may deem the curricular requirement to have been met with the indication of any tied courses; if the number of missing credits is greater than 10 cfu the assessment will be subject to final approval by the Course Coordinator or Vice-Coordinator.

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 in Single course enrolment 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 an 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).

Once the curricular requirements have been met, the methods for verifying the adequacy of personal preparation are as follows:

Verification of weighted average marks
Admission test (interview)

1. Verification of weighted average marks

Candidates for whom the weighted average(1) of the examinations is greater than or equal to 24/30 regardless of the number of years taken to obtain the qualification are eligible, without the need to pass the admission interview, after having submitted their application via the Apply procedure.

The weighted average is calculated on all credits with a grade in thirtieths acquired and useful for obtaining the degree without any rounding.

In the case of career shortening, the calculation of years must be increased in proportion to the number of CFUs validated (10-60 CFUs =1 year, etc.).

(1) the weighted average is obtained by summing (grades x credits) / sum of credits.

2. Admission test (interview)

In the event that personal suitability is not met by means of the weighted average test, as described above, an admission interview is scheduled. 

The outcome of the admission interview will be announced on the personal page of the APPLY procedure.

Considering that you can submit your application for admission to a Master's degree programme after having earned 140 credits and that the average and duration requirements could change by the time you actually earn your Bachelor's degree, you have the possibility to take the interview for a merit-based evaluation in order to fulfill the academic performance requirements. You can do so even if you are eligible for direct admission on the date of application submission.

Politecnico gives you this opportunity so that you have an additional chance to be admitted if your average grade decreases or your time to graduation increases.
