To be accepted on this degree programme one needs to have a 5-year high school leaver's certificate or foreign qualification recognised as compatible, or a 4-year high school leaver's diploma plus catch-up year or, where that is no longer being run, proof of having made up an additional learning requirement.

Restricted access

Locally this is a restricted-access degree programme (ex art. 2 L. 264/99) on the basis of the resources available. The exact student intake and the selection procedure will be published every year in a specific call for applications.

Knowledge requirement

Knowledge of the following is required:

- Basic mathematics and logical reasoning

Assessment of basic knowledge

To be admitted to this degree programme all students have to sit a knowledge test forming part of the restricted-access admission selection.

A minimum score will be set to the restricted-access admission test which is entirely designed to test if students know enough to join.

Any students admitted with a score lower than the set minimum will have to do an additional learning requirement (OFA).

Additional Learning Requirements

If you fail an exam, you will be set a learning requirement consisting in attending a catch-up course in mathematics or other subjects that may be set, as outlined in the Call. When you pass the maths exam by the deadline set by the academic authorities, the additional learning requirement will be deemed to have ended.

Failure to make the OFA grade by the official deadline published on the University Portal means having to re-enrol for the year in question.

When you pass the maths exam you are exempted from the OFA test.

Assessment of knowledge and language skills

To join the degree programme you have to show knowledge of English. The minimum level is B1. The form of the English test will be made known every year via the Call mechanism; a level higher than B1 may be set.

International students - Special regulations for specific qualifications

US High School diploma
Candidates holding a US High School Diploma, issued by an American high school in the US or by an American school in other countries, in order to be eligible to enrol to Italian University must, alternatively:
1) have earned at least 3 US Advanced Placements (APs), passed with a minimum grade of 3 out of

3) have successfully completed one year of college education (and be admitted to the second year) and have earned at least 4 US Advanced Placements (APs) in subjects related to Business and Economics.

APs in Italian cannot be considered valid when applying to a degree course taught in English.
Please remember that APs are courses accredited by the College Board. You can have the College Board send your test results to the University of Bologna (recipient code 6993) and thereby avoid the legalization of their certification. Please note that The American High School Diploma alone is NOT valid.

GCE (from the British school system)

With a British GCE secondary qualification, you can be eligible if you have at least 3 A-levels in different subjects related to Business and Economics. A-levels in Italian cannot be considered valid when applying to a degree course taught in English.

Apolytirion Candidates holding the Greek certificate “Apolytirion” need to have passed it with an overall mark of at least 10/20, and to have obtained a “Veveossi Prosvassis” certificate (special regulations apply to those who obtained the “Apolytirion” before 1999). The points 2 and 3 of this paragraph stay valid too.

International Baccalaureate Diploma The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is valid for admission to Italian universities, whereas the International Baccalaureate Certificate and the IB Diploma Programme courses are not valid for admission.
We can only accept full IB Diplomas.

• If, in your home country, admission to university-level studies is subject to special exams, you must give evidence to have passed such selections with the required minimum scores (e.g. Gao Kao, Veveossi Prosvassis, Matura, YGS, Vestibular/ENEM) in order to enroll in any Italian university. It is important that your secondary school-leaving certificate complies with all the requirements above. In case it does not, you may not be able to enroll. If you have doubts, you should get in contact with the local Italian Consulate or Embassy in the country where the diploma was issued and/or the University of Bologna International Desk
(internationaldesk@unibo.it).
