UNIVERSITA' DELLA SVIZZERA ITALIANA
A double degree programme with the Master in Computational Science of the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano (USI, Switzerland) has been established. Bologna students attending the degree programme in Statistical Sciences, curriculum Data Science, can apply in order to be admitted to the double degree programme with the USI in Lugano. They will spend the first semester of their second year in Lugano and if they successfully complete their studies they will obtain both the Master's Degree in Statistical Sciences (LM-82) delivered by Bologna University and the Master's Degree in Computational Science delivered by USI. Lugano students will attend our second year courses.
There are 3 positions available each year for the joint double degree programme. In order to be admitted to the double degree programme one must satisfy some criteria. The selection is based on the achievements of the students during the bachelor degree and the first semester of the first year of the programme and it is carried out at the end of the first semester of the first year, in correspondence of the Erasmus selection period; in order to be admitted, one must have obtained at least 10 credits.
The list of all possible destinations (including Lugano) is usually published between January and February of each academic year on AlmaRM.
