• Location: Department of Engineering, University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy.

• Teaching mode: Face-to-face, on-site lessons and exams.

What you study

• Electronic engineering for automation systems, sensors, measurement, and embedded/smart electronic technologies.

• Two possible curricula: Automation (AUT) and Sensing Technologies (STE).

• The programme combines electronics with automation and sensing, preparing students for intelligent systems, industrial automation, and sensor-based applications.

Admission requirements

• You need a bachelor's degree in a related information-engineering field, such as Electronic Engineering

• International applicants must submit their completed courses and credits in English.

• English proficiency of at least B2 CEFR is required, shown through a prior exam of at least 3 CFU or an accepted B2 certificate.

• Admission is non-selective 

Costs and career

• The listed comprehensive annual fee for EU and non-EU students residing abroad is €600 VAT included, plus regional tax and stamp duty.

• Graduates can work in automation, electronics, sensing and measurement systems, industrial technology, research, and related engineering roles.

• Secondary Education Diploma: Applicants must hold a secondary school diploma or equivalent recognized qualification. If the diploma is from abroad, it must be deemed suitable by the university’s academic structures.
• Admission Test (TOLC): For many undergraduate courses, particularly in engineering, economics, statistics, biology, and law, applicants must take a CISIA-administered test such as TOLC‑I, TOLC‑E, TOLC‑B, TOLC‑S, or TOLC‑SU depending on the field of study. These tests assess baseline skills and are usually required before enrollment.
• Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi (OFA): If the entrance test reveals gaps in foundational knowledge, the student may be assigned additional educational obligations that must be completed before continuing to the next year.
• Online Enrollment: Once the test is taken and any OFAs are identified, the student must complete matriculation (immatricolazione) online, providing personal details, the course code, and the previous qualification.
• Department-Specific Requirements: Some courses may have additional requirements such as proof of language proficiency, interviews, portfolios, or prior coursework. These vary depending on the course and department.

If you can share the exact name or department of the course (for example, Engineering, Economics, Biotech, etc.), I can provide more tailored information about the relevant admission test (TOLC variant), specific prerequisites, and any extra documentation needed.
