Admission to the programme depends on the fulfillment of specific curricular and personal preparation requirements. 

In order to know more about the procedures and the deadlines for both curricular and personal preparation requirements, read the attached call for applications very carefully.

If you graduated from a University of Bologna degree programme you can check if you fulfill the curricular requirements by accessing Studenti online:

1.       Select “Degree with exams, dates and grades” from the “Certificates and self-certifications” section and then select “self-certifications”.

2.       Download the list of all exams sat during the previous curriculum followed, together with the related University educational credits and corresponding subject groups.

3.       Examine your University career on your own and compare your career with the access requirements.

4.       Access Studenti online and complete the "self-certification of access requirements” form in the Matriculation section.

If you graduated from another University, you can check if you fulfill the curricular requirements by downloading a self-certification form from your University platform, as well as the list of all exams sat during the programme you attended, together with the related University educational credits and corresponding subject groups. If your University does not have an on-line self-certification form, complete the "declaration in lieu of certification" form available from Studenti online.

If you fulfill the curricular requirements, you can then submit:

• Self-certification of your exams and the degree certification, if already obtained (check the call for application for further details);
• Curriculum vitae (QF official form to be used);
• Statement of purpose (QF official form to be used);
• Copy of a valid id card/passport;
• B2 English proficiency proof (check the call for application for further details);
• One or two reference letters from academics and scholars (check the call for application for further details);

• Transcripts: list of exams and grades achieved (check the call for application for further details);

• Declaration of application (Form H);

• For NON-EU citizens: a copy of your valid permit of stay, in case you already have it.

All the documents have to be submitted by the intake deadline.

The Committee will assess your application and if you are admitted, you will receive further details to finalize your enrollment. 

If you do not fulfill the curricular requirements, the Admission Committee will evaluate your application anyway, considering only the submitted documents.
