For admission to the Master’s Degree Course in Engineering of paper and cardboard students require a Bachelor’s Degree or another qualification obtained abroad and recognised as suitable. The applicant is required to submit their application along with attachments, including at least the degree certificate, or its equivalent, and the examination transcripts. Based on the criteria illustrated below, the curricular requirements and the adequacy of personal preparation for access to the Master’s Degree Course in Engineering of paper and cardboard, Class LM-33 Mechanical Engineering, are established, in accordance with art. 6, paragraph 2 of Ministerial Decree 270/2004.

Admission to the Master’s Degree Course in Engineering of paper and cardboard, Class LM-33 Mechanical Engineering, is decided on the basis of the existence of both (curricular and preparation) requirements. The Course Board appoints an Evaluation Instruction Panel (Commissione Istruttoria di Valutazione, CIV), consisting of two or more lecturers tasked with:

- reviewing applications for admission;

- assessing candidates’ CVs;

- checking whether candidates meet curricular and personal requirements;

- proposing to the Course Board the admission or non-admission of candidates,

- indicating how the missing requirements can possibly be met.

If a candidate possesses a foreign degree, the CIV Panel will review the curricular requirements by considering the duration of each course and the content of the corresponding exams. Proficient knowledge of English at least at level B2, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, is also required. English proficiency is subject to verification, from which candidates holding suitable certification may be exempted.

Personal preparation requirements:

In accordance with the University Academic Regulations, the CIV Panel:

- may propose to the Course Board to either accept or reject the candidate’s application based on the evaluation of the documents submitted with the application for admission,

- may propose to the Course Board that the candidate be referred to the admission interview, indicating the topics that will be covered in the interview.

The purpose of the admission interview is to confirm that the candidate has the required preparation to effectively undertake their Master’s studies. Interviews are held in at least two sessions during the academic year. The candidate may be assigned a specific selection board consisting of two or more lecturers, by order of the President of the degree course. The interview programme, as determined by the CIV Panel, will be communicated to the candidate in advance by the president of the Course of Study. At the end of the interview, the selection board will formulate a final judgement on the candidate’s suitability for admission, highlighting any missing requirements.
