NOTE FOR APPLICANTS WITH FOREIGN QUALIFICATIONS
For degrees earned in Italy, curricular requirements are often expressed with reference to degree classes and subject groups which have alphanumerical codes associated with the degrees and disciplines studied. For degrees earned abroad, the assessment of curricular requirements is based on the evaluation of the exams taken (as represented in the transcript of records). The Degree Programme Admission Board assesses only the substantial aspect of the degrees, based on the copies of the degrees and certificates provided and on the Diploma Supplement, if applicable. It does not carry out a formal verification of the degree. The formal verification is carried out by the “Student Administration Office” after original documents are provided. The verification includes degree title, type, duration and level, issuing institution, prior education, academic rights and actual completion and awarding of the qualification(s). Final admission to enrollment will therefore be confirmed by the appointed office only after this formal verification had been carried out.
Further information: http://www.unibo.it/en/teaching/enrolment-transfer-and-final-examination/enrolling-in-a-second-cycle-degree-programme-foreign-qualification
For candidates with Italian qualification, a final Bachelor grade of 95/110 or higher is required.
For all candidates, an interview is required in order to furtherly assess the candidates' personal competencies and skills.
NOTE FOR NON-EU APPLICANTS RESIDENT ABROAD
