Access requirements

Before applying for the Master's degree in Finance, please make sure you meet the following entry requirements:

PREVIOUS QUALIFICATION

Students graduated abroad should hold a 3-year university diploma (Bachelor of Science degree), in which they acquired the following number of ECTS (in case of students outside the European Union, the equivalent number of hours of study) in these areas:

at least 6 ECTS in economics subjects;
at least 6 ECTS in mathematics and statistics;

PLEASE NOTE: a vocational title (such as a bachelor of Business Administration/Commerce from India) is unsuitable for accessing an Italian Master Degree due to a substantial difference according to the Lisbon Convention.
