If the applicant holds an Italian Master's Degree, the calculation of the curricular requirements is made on the basis of the credits obtained during the entire university career.

Candidates with Italian qualification who already possess the curricular requirements will be admitted to an interview (see How to apply) aimed at verifying the adequacy of the candidate’ personal preparation.

Candidates who possess the curricular requirements will be divided into two different streams.

  1. candidates who meet the following two criteria:
    - possession of a minimum of 24 CFUs in at least 3 blocks of Academic Disciplines (SSD) among those listed at point 4);
    - a degree grade of at least 99/110, or (for those who have not yet obtained their Bachelor's degree) a grade average of at least 26/30 in the examinations taken.
    They will undergo an interview aimed at verifying their motivation to undertake the Master's Programme in Area and Global Studies for International Cooperation.
  2. candidates who do not meet both the criteria mentioned in point a) will undergo an interview in which knowledge of a booklet prepared by the Master's Program lecturers and available in the "How to Apply" section will be tested.

The interview will also asses the candidate’s knowledge of English and the second language. The purpose of the interview, which is conducted by a member of the Selection Committee (composed by Prof. Barbera, Prof. Bignante, Prof. Bobbio, Prof. Gusman and Prof. Romanò), is to assess the candidate’s personal preparation in relation to the chosen profile, as well as the awareness of and motivation for the Master’s Program. The interview is conducted in English.

Candidates with foreign qualification can register only according to the procedures for international students established by the University. Applicants having the above-mentioned curricular requirements are admitted to an interview – in English – aimed at verifying their personal knowledge of English and second language (which in the case of international students can be Italian, too), and at discussing their general knowledge on the main themes of the course program and previous experience.
