If you graduated (or will graduate) from a non-Italian University, the committee will ascertain the equivalence between the non-Italian and the Italian degree. 

In case you do not meet the requirements above, the admission committee will verify, all the same, whether or not you hold the skills and competences needed to be admitted, on the basis of your CV and transcripts. If the committee identifies such skills and competences as adequate, you will be admitted to evaluation. 

In any case, admission to LMEPP is conditional to an assessment by the committee, by means of the documents provided and according to the criteria specified in the call. 

You can apply even if you have not yet obtained a Bachelor’s degree. However, you will have to obtain it within a specific deadline that is set annually and will be published at the page https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/EconomicsPolicy/how-to-enrol  

 The minimum level of English required is B2 (according to the CEFR). Meeting this requirement is essential in order to smoothly and profitably attend lectures and take exams. The English language requirement is met by satisfying one of the conditions indicated in the call.
