CHECK
ITALY
The Committee verifies:
- Curricular requirements:
The candidate must meet the specific requirements indicated for entry. - Personal preparation:
The candidate must demonstrate adequate preparation for the Master’s degree, with a focus on basic knowledge in mathematics and computer engineering, as well as skills in related subjects (e.g. electronics, telecommunications, automation or management). This assessment will take place through an analysis of the candidate’s CV and academic career and, if necessary, through an interview. - Knowledge of the English language:
A knowledge of English equal to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is required. This requirement is compulsory but can be considered fulfilled if, at the time of enrolment, the candidate presents a suitable language certificate.

Candidates with a foreign qualification
Admission requirements
Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree (BSc) or equivalent obtained after completing a three-year (minimum) course of study. The required degree must include courses on subjects related to computer hardware and software comparable to those typically found in the background of a computer engineering or computer science graduate (e.g. examinations on algorithms and programming, computer architecture, operating systems, computer networks and database systems).
The absence of any of the above examinations renders the application ineligible.
A solid background in mathematics is also required. Proficiency in related engineering subjects (e.g. electronics, telecommunications, automation or management) is also considered favourably. Purely technical or professional degrees, such as a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Applications or equivalent, are not acceptable for application.
Please note that:
Students who are expected to graduate before the pre-enrolment deadline (set by the Italian embassy or consulate in their country) may apply. Their admission is subject to successful graduation by the specified deadline;
The Assessment Board’s judgement on the candidate’s qualification refers exclusively to its suitability for the two Master’s degree programmes targeted by this notice. Degrees awarded in a non-EU country are subject to verification and recognition of legitimacy by the delegated Italian diplomatic authorities at a later stage.
Knowledge of English, comparable to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, is also required.
Applications are now open!
