Students with a 3-year university diploma or another undergraduate degree obtained in Italy should have a final graduation score higher than or equal to 95/110.
Students with any other foreign qualification considered equivalent to the above-specified Italian degree should provide evidence of a final graduation score equivalent to the Italian requirement (95 out of 110).
Students holding an Italian degree failing to reach the minimal entry requirements (see the official \xc2\x93BANDO\xc2\x94 to check in detail the different cases when the entry requirements are not met) must pass an admission test with the teaching committee to show their knowledge of the basic principles of management, economics and quantitative methods (see \xc2\x93Italian degree students\xc2\x94 section)
- Knowledge of the English language
Students who do not have the required ECTS in the English Language (5 ECTs), should provide an international certification proving the necessary English knowledge.
Certifications should attest a knowledge equal or higher than the B2 level of the Common European Framework (First Certificate in English). For example, a TOEFL certificate with an iBT total score of B2 level (87-109) or higher is considered equal to the level B2 of the Common European Framework. Students who do not hold an international certification will have their English level tested with a test at the Department of Economics and Management.
The Admissions committee may decide (on the basis of an interview) to admit a student who does not hold an English language certificate, on condition that they demonstrate their proficiency in the English language.
