Content in Italian
Le conoscenze richieste per l'accesso sono quelle tipiche, di base e professionalizzanti, dell'Ingegneria Industriale, comuni a molte lauree triennali in Ingegneria dell'Ateneo Pisano e di altri Atenei. E' possibile anche l'accesso dalle lauree triennali in Fisica, purché sia stato seguito un particolare percorso con contenuti ingegneristici. L'erogazione in lingua Inglese del corso, oltre a fornire competenze aggiuntive agli studenti con titolo triennale italiano, facilita l'accesso di studenti internazionali con adeguata formazione.
REQUISITI CURRICULARI
Il possesso di una laurea in ingegneria industriale (classe L-9) o altra laurea purché siano stati acquisiti i seguenti CFU: MAT/02, MAT/03, MAT/05, MAT/06, MAT/07, MAT/08, MAT/09, SECS-S/02, FIS/01, FIS/03, CHIM/03, CHIM/07 (42 CFU); ING-IND/9, ING-IND/10, ING-IND/11, ICAR/08, ING-IND/14, ING-IND/15, ING-IND/16, INF/01, FIS/02, FIS/04, ING-IND/19, ING-IND/34 (18 CFU).
In caso di candidati con titolo acquisito all'estero, la Commissione Istruttoria di Valutazione (CIV) valuterà i requisiti curriculari sulla base della durata temporale dei singoli insegnamenti e dei programmi dei relativi esami sostenuti.
E' richiesto, inoltre, il possesso di una conoscenza della lingua Inglese di livello non inferiore al B2 del Quadro Comune Europeo di riferimento per le Lingue. Le conoscenze di cui sopra sono soggette a verifica; potranno essere dispensati dalla verifica gli studenti che esibiscano una certificazione idonea.
In ogni caso, è prevista la verifica dei requisiti di preparazione personale, che viene svolta con le modalità definite nel regolamento didattico del corso di studio.
For admission to the Master's Degree Course in Nuclear Engineering (Class LM-30) students require a Bachelor’s degree or another qualification obtained abroad and recognised as suitable.
The applicant is required to submit an 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 Nuclear Enginnering are established in accordance with art. 6, paragraph 2 of Ministerial Decree 270/2004. Admission to the Master's Degree Course in Nuclear Engineering Class LM-30 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.
CURRICULAR REQUIREMENTS
Students must hold a degree in Industrial Engineering (class L-9) or another degree as long as the following CFUs have been obtained: MAT/02, MAT/03, MAT/05, MAT/06, MAT/07, MAT/08, MAT/09, SECS-S/02, FIS/01, FIS/03, CHIM/03, CHIM/07 (42 CFU); ING-IND/9, ING-IND/10, ING-IND/11, ICAR/08, ING-IND/14, ING-IND/15, ING-IND/16, INF/01, FIS/02, FIS/04, ING-IND/19, ING-IND/34 (18 CFUs).
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. The possession of such requirement can be certified by students at the time of enrolment or, if no certification is available, it will be verified during the curriculum review when assessing the student's personal preparation.
