The International Master’s Degree in Neuroscience is open to graduates from the degree courses, in force pursuant to Ministerial Decree 270/04, in Scienze Biologiche (classe L13) or in Biotecnologie (L2), as well as in the corresponding degree classes envisaged by M.D. 509/99 or other equivalent qualification.

The Master’s Degree in Neuroscience is open also to those holding a degree or undergraduate diploma provided that during their course of study, they have acquired an overall total of at least 60 CFU in the subjects referred to the groups of SSD specified below:

-    at least 15 CFU in subjects belonging to one or more of the following SSD: CHIM/01-CHIM/12, MAT/01-MAT/09, FIS/01-FIS/08, INF/01, MED/01, SECS/01-02;

-   at least 20 CFU in subjects belonging to one or more of the following SSD: BIO/01, BIO/04-BIO/07, BIO/09, BIO/16, BIO/17, MED/04, MED/08, M-PSI/02, VET/01, VET/02;

-   at least 25 CFU in subjects belonging to one or more of the following SSD: BIO/10-BIO/14, BIO/18, BIO/19, MED/03, MED/07, AGR/07, AGR/16.

For candidates who do not meet these curricular requirements, admission to the Master’s Degree Programme depends on assessment of the individual curriculum, which may be completed by acquiring the necessary CFU before registration, including by sitting individual examinations.

Written and oral skills in English to at least level B2, is an admission requirement and will be assessed by an explicit statement in the curriculum or by other suitable certification.

Without prejudice to the requirements above, admission to the Master’s Degree Programme is automatic for candidates with a degree mark of at least 99/110, considered valid confirmation of suitable individual preparation.

For candidates who meet the above requirements, but whose degree marks are below 99/110, the admission will depend on assessment of the candidate’s curriculum by the teaching staff members of the Programme Commission.

The Programme Commission may:

a) accept the course curriculum and admit the candidate to the degree course;

b) reject the course curriculum and refuse admission to the course;

c) require an interview (including online) to assess the candidate’s preparation in subjects inherent to the course and, based on the outcome of the interview, accept or refuse admission to the Master’s Degree Programme.

Candidates in possession of a qualification obtained abroad, must submit their application via the 'DreamApply' platform (https://apply.units.it/). The candidate's Curriculum Studiorum is evaluated following the above-described guidelines. Furthermore, all candidates with a qualification obtained abroad will undergo an assessment of knowledge in neuroscience, according to the guidelines indicated every year by the Academic Board.

The assessment of candidates is irrevocable.
