Until Law no. 33/2022 came into force, it was not possible to be enrolled in more than one study programme awarding a degree in Italy or abroad (e.g. Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes, Postgraduate Specialisation programmes, 1st and 2nd level Professional Masters’ programmes, PhD Programmes) at the same time. The entry into force of the aforementioned law has meant that this prohibition has been lifted and, as of the 2022/2023 academic year, it will be possible to be enrolled simultaneously in a Bachelor's Degree/Master's Degree/Non-Medical Postgraduate Specialisation programme and a PhD programme. Please note that it is still not possible to be enrolled in a 1st or 2nd Professional Master’s programme and a PhD programme at the same time: in this case, the student will need to choose between the two courses. If double enrolment is ascertained, the Rector will cancel the enrolment in the PhD programme and recover any sums paid in the form of scholarships. |
