To enrol in a Master Universitario di I livello you must satisfy the requirements are based on the latest  guidelines for admission published by the Italian Ministry for Education which apply to all students with foreign qualifications, regardless of nationality. This applies to qualifications awarded both in European Union (EU) countries and non-EU countries.

   4. correspond to the Italian qualification required for entry to a "Master universitario di I livello", in terms of academic nature, research elements, programme duration, and total ECTS (minimum 3 years and 180 ECTS), as well as total years of schooling (usually 15 years).
       
3. The undergraduate degree must be obtained:
   1. EU citizens: before the start of the programme.
   2. Non-EU citizens: at least two months prior to the start of the programme.

Our university will determine the suitability of your academic degree for admission to a "Master universitario di I livello". Each university sets its own criteria and regulations (including the required documentation) for admission and enrolment in a study programme.

Admission is based on the evaluation of the academic documents submitted with the application, while enrolment is subject to verification of the validity of the qualification obtained.

For a preliminary self-assessment of your qualification, we recommend referring to the ARDI database, which contains information on the requirements for admission to Italian universities. ARDI includes information on most national qualifications, but if your qualification is not listed in the database, we encourage you to contact us if you have any doubts about its validity.
