The official page lists only these two core academic requirements—relevant bachelor’s degree and B2 English. It does not list a minimum GPA, entrance exam, GRE, or specific prerequisite courses, so you should verify any additional application-document requirements directly with Unical’s admissions office.

Documents normally required

• Bachelor’s degree certificate in Computer Science or Computer Science Engineering.
• Academic transcript / list of completed courses and grades, to demonstrate the qualifying bachelor’s degree.
• English-language proof at B2 level, such as a recognized language certificate or equivalent documentation accepted by Unical.
• Passport or identity document, normally required for international admission and enrollment.

Where to confirm

• The official course page directs international applicants to Unical’s Welcome Office at welcomeoffice@unical.it and unicaladmission@unical.it.
• Because the page does not publish a formal document list, ask them to confirm whether they require a CV, motivation letter, recommendation letters, translation/legalization of academic documents, or pre-enrollment through Universitaly.
