Results and enrollment

Admitted applicants will receive an offer that depends on meeting several curricular requirements:

1. completion, within 90 days from the beginning of the didactic activities, of a Bachelor/Master of Science Degree (depending on whether they’re applying to a I or a II level Specialized Master Program) valid for the purposes of enrollment in the chosen Specialized Master Program (see art. 4.3 of the Specialized Master Regulation);
2. A visa issued for study purposes for NON EU citizens;
3. Within 8 days from arrival, all non-Eu citizens who hold a study visa for Italy must apply for a stay permit for study purposes;
4. A declaration of Value (if requested by the Admissions Office and if specifically indicated  in your selection results)

In the case that the Admissions Office has not enough elements of evaluation to verify your academic path, we will ask you to provide us with a Declaration of Value (see section below).

All admissions decisions are defined by the Specialized Master Direction, considering academic transcripts, cover letters, work experience, career plan, performance in the test (if required).

Applicants who are not admitted may not resubmit their application during the same academic year. They will need to complete the online application again by accessing the “My Application” within the deadlines established on next academic year. Only applicants of MiMeC Specialized Master, who helds 2 editions in the same academic year, if not admitted during the first edition, can re-apply to the second edition on the same academic year.

During the second application, at least one element of your application
needs to have changed when submitted for the second time (i.e. higher
test score).

Applicants on the Waiting List are in any case NOT admitted students.
In fact, due to a lack of available spots, it was not possible to assign the applicant to the chosen Master program.

At the end of the enrollment period, if there is remaining availability of spots due to lack of enrollment among admitted applicants, the top non-admitted applicants on the waiting list may be recalled. In that case, the applicants on the list will be contacted in decreasing order on the ranking, to verify their interest in enrolling. If not contacted, applicants on the Waiting List, remain NOT admitted students.

The number of applicants included in the waiting list is in any case limited, considering that generally not many spots are still available at the end of the enrollment period.

Admitted applicants will receive a conditional offer, whose validity is confirmed only under the following conditions:

• submission of the enrollment application within the set deadlines
• fulfillment of the requirements stated in the admission result

Failure to satisfy even one of the above-mentioned conditions by the set deadlines will entail the revocation of the admission and, as a result, the cancellation of the enrollment.

POSSIBLE CHANGE OF THE BACHELOR PROGRAM OF ADMISSION

1. After Admission (during the enrollment period)

After receiving an admission result, it will be possible to request a change of program only once, towards one course and to a course indicated with a lower preference degree than the one you were initially admitted to or not previously indicated. For example, if admitted to the second choice, a change cannot be requested towards the first choice, but only towards the third or fourth choice, or towards a course that was not indicated in the admission application.

The procedures for submitting the request will be detailed in the coming weeks, in time to submit any applications once the admission results are published. The deadline for submitting the request will in any case precede the enrollment deadline, to allow students receive their change request result in time for enrollment.

Once a change of course request is submitted, it cannot be modified or canceled, neither during the evaluation phase nor once accepted, in the case of a positive outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to make a request only after careful consideration and if strongly motivated.

The change of course will not be granted automatically but only after evaluation by the Admissions Office, considering a number of criteria such as the applicant's ranking score, the number of requests received, from and to which courses, etc.

2. After Enrollment

Only for those enrolled in the Early and Winter sessions, it will be possible, exceptionally, to submit a request for a change of course from 15 April 15 to 15 May 2024, according to procedures that will be detailed in the coming weeks.

The criteria are as follows:

• Transfer students with credit recognition cannot submit a request.
• Students enrolled in the Spring session cannot submit a request.
• It is possible to submit a request only once.
• A change can be requested towards a single course and to a course indicated with a lower preference degree than the one initially admitted or not previously indicated, asking for a degree program with a preference level lower than that of admission or not requested before.
• If a request has already been submitted after admission (within the enrollment deadlines) and has been denied, the same request cannot be resubmitted.

In the case of a scholarship award, if the change of course request is accepted, the maintenance of the benefit is not guaranteed.

Even in this phase, once a change of course request is submitted, it cannot be modified or canceled, neither during the evaluation phase nor once accepted, in the case of a positive outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to make a request only after careful consideration and if strongly motivated.

3. At the End of the First Year of the Bachelor program

It will be possible to request a change of enrollment course at the end of the first year, according to procedures and timelines defined by the academic secretariat. For more information, click HERE.

Non-admitted candidates can re-apply  for the following sessions by submitting a brand new online application via the My application portal within the set deadlines.

At the discretion of the Admissions Committee, in some selection rounds, it is possible to receive a Waiting List result. Applicants in "waiting list" result are in any case considered as NOT admitted.
Only in the event of a residual availability of places at the end of the enrollment period, the Admissions Office will get in contact with applicants in waiting list according to the admission ranking order.

The admission results are not available if:

1. The test score used for applying is missing or not valid;
