Admission procedures

Candidates for admission to the Course of Study will be assessed on the basis of their academic curriculum and, if this is suitable, will be admitted to an interview aimed at ascertaining their knowledge and preparation in the main disciplinary areas that characterise the Course of Study. The interview, conducted in English, is intended to ascertain that candidates for admission have sufficient skills to ensure that they can undertake and successfully follow the Course of Study. The interview does not require any specific preparation, but focuses on general topics, linked to the candidates' previous academic career, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of their scientific competences and language skills, the subject areas and methodologies they are most familiar with and the topics at the centre of their scientific interests. The interviews will take place remotely according to a timetable and in a manner that will be communicated to each candidate in good time.
