1. What qualification do I need to have in order to enrol in a Bachelor’s, or Single cycle/Combined Bachelor+Master’s degree programme?

Answer
Applicants must hold an Italian five-year high school diploma (“Diploma di maturità”), or a four-year high school diploma with supplementary year.



2. Can I apply for a degree programme if I hold a foreign qualification?

Answer
To apply for a Bachelor’s, or Single cycle/Combined Bachelor+Master’s degree programme, you should normally have a foreign qualification that is equivalent to a “Diploma di maturità”. This must be valid, certified and translated at the relevant Italian Consulate or Embassy, and must be submitted together with a Declaration of value (i.e. a document certifying the academic level of a foreign qualification). For further information please write to admission@ateneo.univr.it



3. What qualification do I need to hold if I wish to apply for a Master’s degree programme?

Answer
To apply for a Master’s degree programme, you must hold a First-cycle or Bachelor’s degree, or a foreign equivalent qualification (in the latter case, please contact the International Office for further information).



4. What are ‘Open’ degree programmes?

Answer
These degree programmes are ‘open’, which means that you will be allowed to register and enrol without having to sit an admission test. However, once registered on ESSE3, during the first year, you will need to take a test in order to demonstrate that you have sufficient knowledge of the subjects included in the programme (see ‘Saperi minimi’ – Entry requirements).



5. What are ‘Saperi minimi’ and OFA credits (Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi)?

Answer
By ‘Saperi minimi’ and OFA credits we mean the personal preparation required to enrol in a specific degree programme. Such preparation may be assessed at the time of the admission tests (for limited-entry degree programmes) or separately, through individual tests to be taken during the first year. Failing the Saperi minimi test will not prevent you from registering at the University. However, you will be soon informed by the University about the number of credits (OFA credits, Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi) that you will need to regain by passing the test by the end of the first year, or you will not be allowed to enrol in the second year. Further information can be found on the web page of each degree programme.



6. Do I need to register for the ‘Saperi minimi’ test?

Answer
No. If you’re applying for a limited-entry degree programme, your personal preparation will be assessed at the time of the admission tests. You will pass the test if you score more than a certain number of points, depending on each programme, as set out in the relevant Call for applications. For ‘Open’ degree programmes, the information about ‘Saperi minimi’ test is normally made available on the web page of each degree programme.



7. What is a Call for applications for Limited-entry degree programmes?

Answer
A Call for applications (‘Bando di ammissione’ in Italian) is a notice which is normally published at least 60 days before the date of the admission test, containing the following information: number of available places, entry requirements, deadlines for registration for the admission test, and for enrolment, procedures of the admission test, evaluation criteria for drawing up the list of students eligible for admission, and procedures for the allocation of available places. The Call also contains: the procedure to follow in order to submit the application form, to transfer from another University, or to change degree programme, and procedures for admission to degree programmes from the second year onwards.
