Application
If you possess (or are going to possess by March 2026, exact date to be defined) a three-year Italian university Bachelor Degree in the Degree class L-Sc.Mat. (Materials Science)
Deadline: October 2025 (exact date to be defined)
Eligibility.
• English Language Competence: you must have a B2-level competence in the English language (as detailed by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment – CEFR) certified by an accredited agency (full list) or by a University course.
o If you do not have a B2-level competence you can still pre-enrol and you will be able to acquire it (through UNIPR-provided coursework) in the first semester, at which point you will complete your enrolment.
Exemptions:
o English native speakers;
o students who have already undertaken at least one year of education in English. In this case it will be necessary to provide an English Proficiency letter (a letter issued by the university/institute on the student’s language skills), or a Medium of Instruction (MOI, an official document indicating the language in which the diploma or the degree was obtained).
How to submit your application
Students should apply using the ESSE3 portal.
In case you have not yet received the degree but you expect to receive it by March 2026 or do not possess a certified B2-level English competence, you have to pre-enrol. You may in the meantime attend the teachings of the master's degree program as an auditor/hearing officer but not acquire course credits until your matriculation is finalized.

Students who do not meet the curricular requirements for enrolment in second-cycle degree courses will still be able to pre-enrol through a "Curricular Requirements Recovery" pathway.
It is emphasized that:
- a maximum of 30 CFUs can be earned through the "Curricular Requirements Recovery" pathway;
- the aforementioned pathway does not entitle the issuance of certifications related to the passing of single course units, since they are exclusively preparatory activities for access to the second-cycle degree course;
- the acquisition of credits must take place by March 2026 (exact date to be defined);
- these credits will not be counted for benefits of the right to education and the calculation of the university contribution.
