Call for Applications 2022/2023
Applications for the A.Y. 2022/23 are now CLOSED.
* The 2023/24 Call for Applications will be available in January 2023.
The 2022/23 admission procedure consists of an online application to be completed with all required information and documents by the set deadlines. Neither paper applications nor incomplete applications will be considered. It is the candidate's responsibility to verify that all compulsory documents are properly uploaded online.
Before beginning the online application, applicants are required to check the admission requirements carefully in order to verify that their academic background matches the eligibility criteria of the Master of Science in Economics.
The admission decision is based on undergraduate grades (especially in relevant subjects), CV, reference letter written by a professor who has followed the applicant’s studies closely, personal statement and any other additional information supplied by the candidate.
Admission to the program is on a first-come, first-served basis. Since admission is selective, prospective candidates must apply online as soon as possible. Only candidates who successfully complete the online application - attaching all the required documents (pdf format) - and pay the application fee by the specified deadlines and conditions (payment validation) will be evaluated.
Once the application has been submitted, the Admissions Board will evaluate your application and you will be notified by email of the Admissions Board’s decision (Admission/Rejection) in one month after the application submission. Please note that candidates cannot re-apply for the same academic year.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
To successfully attend the Master of Science in Economics it is necessary to have adequate knowledge of economic theory and quantitative analysis.
In order to be admitted, it is necessary:
- to hold an Italian undergraduate degree (or to be near completion) in one of the following degree classes:
ex. D.M. 270/04:
- L-08 Lauree in Ingegneria dell'Informazione
- L-09 Lauree in Ingegneria Industriale
- L-16 Lauree in Scienze dell'Amministrazione e dell'Organizzazione
- L-18 Lauree in Scienze dell'Economia e della Gestione Aziendale
- L-30 Lauree in Scienze e Tecnologie Fisiche
- L-31 Lauree in Scienze e Tecnologie Informatiche
- L-33 Lauree in Scienze Economiche
- L-35 Lauree in Scienze Matematiche
- L-36 Lauree in Scienze Politiche e delle Relazioni Internazionali
- L-40 Lauree in Sociologia
- L-41 Lauree in Statistica
- L-42 Lauree in Storia
- LMG/01 Lauree Magistrali in Giurisprudenza
and equivalent degrees.
- a minimum of 6 CFU earned in the scientific-disciplinary sectors SECS-P/* and a minimum of 12 CFU obtained in the scientific-disciplinary sectors SECS-S/* and/or MAT/*. If these requisites are not met, the Admission Board will notify the individual candidate of the exams that must be taken, and only after they have been passed will it be possible to proceed with the admission procedure.
For applicants who graduated from a non-Italian University, the Admission Board will ascertain the equivalence between the non-Italian and the Italian degree. The Admission Board will verify whether they hold the skills and competencies needed, such as an undergraduate university degree with a strong quantitative background. Generally speaking, a strong quantitative background means Economics, Business, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, and Engineering.
Other backgrounds will also be taken into consideration, mostly based on the background in Mathematics and/or Statistics and on the student’s motivation. In any case, admission to the Master’s Degree in Economics is conditional to the assessment by an Admission Board, by means of the documents provided and according to the application procedure.
