Admission procedures
Admission requirements are specified in the Degree Course Regulations of the Second-Cycle Degree in Electronic Engineering which can be found on the department's website.
Admission to the second-cycle degree course in Electronic Engineering requires a first-cycle degree or other recognised foreign qualification.
Prior to enrolment, the fulfilment of curricular requirements must be ascertained and the adequacy of personal preparation verified, in accordance with the procedures specified below.
1. Curricular Requirements
Curricular requirements are automatically met by students in possession of a degree in the information technology engineering degree class (class L-8 according to DM 270/2004 or class 9 according to DM 509/1999), as well as an adequate knowledge of the English language, certified as indicated below.
The course is also open to graduates of other degree classes or university graduates (from three-year courses), or persons in possession of another suitable university qualification, who in the course of their studies or in subsequent certified university educational activities have acquired:
a) at least 27 ECTS credits in the following academic disciplines (SSD):
- CHIM/07 Chemical fundamentals of technologies
- FIS/01 Experimental physics
- FIS/03 Physics of matter
- MAT/02 Algebra
- MAT/03 Geometry
- MAT/05 Mathematical analysis
- MAT/06 Probability and mathematical statistics
- MAT/07 Mathematical physics
- MAT/08 Numerical analysis
- MAT/09 Operational research
- SECS-S/02 Statistics for experimental and technological research
b) at least 27 ECTS credits in the following academic disciplines (SSD):
- ING-INF/01 Electronics
- ING-IND/31 Electrotechnics
- ING-IND/32 Electrical converters, machines and drives
- ING-IND/33 Electrical energy systems
c) at least 27 ECTS credits in the following academic disciplines:
- ING-INF/02 Electromagnetic fields
- ING-INF/03 Telecommunications
- ING-INF/04 Automation
- ING-INF/05 Information processing systems
- ING-INF/06 Electronic and computer bioengineering
- ING-INF/07 Electrical and electronic measurements
- ING-IND/10 Industrial technical physics
- ING-IND/11 Environmental technical physics
- INF/01 Computer science
Level B1 English language skills (in Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) are required both of graduates from degrees in the Information Technology Engineering classes and of those holding another qualifications. In the absence of official certification, knowledge will be ascertained by means of an interview in the course of verifying the adequacy of personal preparation (see next point).
In special cases, such as foreign graduates, graduates from previous systems to which ECTS do not apply, or graduates in possession of other qualifications such as a PhD, the fulfilment of curricular requirements may be assessed, independently of the above, by the CC or a special committee appointed by the CC.
2. Verification of the adequacy of personal preparation
The verification of personal preparation is always envisaged and separate from the fulfilment of the curricular requirements.
Personal preparation is automatically considered adequate if both of the following conditions are met:
(1) the qualification required for access to the second-cycle degree was obtained with a mark of no less than 88/110 or equivalent (for foreign graduates, the final mark obtained will be verified on the basis of an appropriate conversion of marks);
(2) the applicant has certified knowledge of English language to at least level B.1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, or has acquired English language credits during the degree that are officially equivalent to B.1 or a higher qualification.
If this is not the case, the verification of personal preparedness will be carried out by a special committee appointed by the CC. The committee will verify, also by means of an individual interview, the outcome of which will be certified for the purposes of subsequent enrolment, whether the level of knowledge of the content of the teaching in the core and characterising academic disciplines for the L-8 class is sufficient to successfully complete the activities envisaged for the second-cycle degree course in Electronic Engineering.
