Eligibility

To be eligible for the Master's in Electronics Engineering for at UNISANNIO, you need a relevant bachelor's degree, sufficient credits in core engineering subjects, English proficiency, and the required minimum academic score.

Academic eligibility

  • You must hold a bachelor's degree in a related field, such as

  • Your previous degree must include at least 36 CFU/ECTS in basic subjects, including mathematics, physics, informatics, chemistry, statistics, and related areas.

  • It must also include at least 45 CFU/ECTS in core information-engineering subjects, including electronics, telecommunications, automation, electrical measurements, information-processing systems, electromagnetics, and related fields.

  • A tolerance of up to 4 ECTS (5%) is allowed across these credit requirements.

  • If you are missing some required credits, the university may allow conditional admission, but you must first take and pass specified additional courses.

Minimum marks

  • Italian/EU degrees: A final grade of at least 80/110 automatically satisfies the personal-preparation requirement.

  • Indian applicants: Minimum required CGPA is 7/10, equivalent to 70/100.

  • Other non-EU countries have country-specific minimums; for countries not listed, UNISANNIO evaluates each application individually.

English requirement

  • You need English at B2 CEFR level or higher.

  • You can prove this with a B2-level certificate, or by showing that you completed an English-language exam worth at least 3 CFU in your bachelor's programme.

Admission type

  • The course is non-selective ("unscheduled access"), so there is no competitive entrance exam if you meet all requirements.

  • International applicants must still complete the Universitaly pre-enrolment process and meet Italian student-visa requirements.

Requirements
  • 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.
