Bachelor degree in Engineering

In order to access the Master’s Program, the applicant is required to hold:

• Bachelor’s degree (D.M. 509/’99 or D.M. 270/’04), postgraduate Master’s degree (legislation previous to D.M. 509/’99) or a three-year diploma suitable to access postgraduate studies or other officially recognized study titles awarded abroad.

◊ In the case of applicants coming from foreign universities, applicants holding an Italian 5-year degree will have to apply and cannot enroll directly. 

A Teaching Committee will verify that the candidate’s curriculum is compliant with the curricular requirements. A Teaching Committee is purposely designated by the Teaching Council of the Electronic Engineering MSc course. The Committee has the task of checking whether the applicant can enter the Master’s Program based on an evaluation of his/her compliance with the curricular requirements and of the individual background.

Learning activities and curricular requirements

For Electrical Engineering, basic and characteristic engineering subjects.

If your degree is awarded in Italy you may use fill this form to prove that your academic transcript fullfill this course entry requirement.

International applicants coming from foreign universities, applicants holding an Italian 5-year degree must apply here!

♦ More information about a degree not fully compliant with the curricular requirements here!

In case of a positive resolution, the Teaching Committee will write a report emphasizing the curricular deficiencies and the possible constraints (for a total amount not exceeding 12 ECTS) the student will have to stick to in drawing up her/his learning plan. In case the applicant’s curriculum is eventually considered not compatible with the curricular requirements, the Committee will provide a list of exams the candidate needs to pass, by subscribing to each individual course, before being admitted to the Master’s Program.

♦ Students who are not graduated yet can also apply: read the following information!

Students pursuing a 3-year degree and/or students who are not yet graduated) can submit their request, as long as they have a 3-year learning plan already approved. The curriculum evaluation will take into account also the exams included in the last approved learning plan but not yet passed. In case of a subsequent modification of the learning plan, the previous evaluation will be no longer valid and a new one will be needed.

Candidate students of the Master’s Programs who can prove that they have passed an English language test to access a University course or that, during their past academic career, have passed an English language exam equivalent to at least 3 ECTS do not have to submit any language certificate.

Students from foreign universities can demonstrate their knowledge of the English language by presenting suitable documentation certifying they have passed an English language test or have attended and passed an exam in English.

For students who come from countries where English is the official language or have graduated from universities where courses are taught in English, no certificate is required.

In any case, candidates have to present suitable documentation supporting their request for exemption.

Final ranking/current average

Applicants need to have a strong background in the basic subjects and in the characteristic engineering subjects. They can prove this with their final graduation ranking or current average.

For country-specific requirements related to your degree please read our dedicated webpage.

Students who hold a degree awarded by an italian institution must read the following information

Also students pursuing their 3-year degree but not yet graduated can give the test, as long as they have already acquired at least 150 ECTS. Students who have not yet graduated and want to register sub judice can also be exempted, if, upon enrollment, their average exam score (computed over the already passed exams and weighted based on the relevant ECTS) will be established in the nexts few months.

Students who have already graduated with a final score that will be established in the nexts few months are exempted from the test. For the MSc in Electrical Engineering, the syllabus of the admission test can be downloaded here.
