4.4 Adequate personal knowledge and skills

Candidates who meet the requirements described at section 4.2 and 4.3 may access the
assessment of personal competence and skills.

10
4.4.a. How the adequacy of personal training is verified

a) evaluation of the previous academic career. The candidate must have obtained a
Bachelor's degree with a grade of 105/110 or higher. Only if in possession of this
qualification will the candidate be admitted to the interview (see b). For candidates
in possession of a foreign qualification that does not provide for a final grade or for
which it is not possible to convert the grade or judgement into hundredths, the
Commission will evaluate the possession of the requirement.
b) an individual interview in one of the two foreign languages in which the candidate
intends to pursue his/her studies, provided that it is different from English.

The interview of assessment of competence and skills will cover topics related to previous
studies, any Erasmus experience/experience abroad, internships and work experience, as
well as motivation and expectations regarding the course of study in Language, Society and
Communication. The purpose of the interview is to ascertain that the candidate has
reached at least B2 level of language proficiency in the Common European Framework of
Reference for Languages (CEFR), as described in the Common Reference Levels document
on the CEFR website.

The interview will be carried out by a Commission appointed by the Course of Study Board,
remotely through Microsoft Teams, on the date indicated in the general calendar. The
candidate will receive instructions on how to participate via the institutional e-mail address
name.surname@unibo.it.

On the basis of the outcome of the interview, the Commission will issue an evaluation of
eligibility or ineligibility for admission to the Master’s Degree Course.

A candidate who fails to attend the interview may enroll in the next intake.

11
A candidate who takes the interview and is considered ineligible by the Commission can no
longer apply for intakes in the same academic year.

4.4.b. Adaptations for the oral exam for Students with Disabilities or Specific Learning
Disorders (SLD)
If you have a disability or a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) and wish to request
adaptations for the admission test, you must submit your request by the intake registration
deadline. Use the form available on Studenti Online (www.studenti.unibo.it), typically
located under the "see details" section of your application.
Possible adaptations:
Extra time: 30% additional time for candidates with SLD, other developmental
disorders, or specific medical conditions; 50% additional time for candidates with
certified disability and/or impairments under Law 104.
Assistive tools, such as text-to-speech devices, non-scientific calculators, or other aids
assessed on a case-by-case basis based on your certification. A full list of adaptations is
available on the request form.
If logistical or regulatory constraints make it impossible to provide the requested
adaptations, an equivalent compensatory measure will be arranged.

Procedure to request adaptations:

Log in to Studenti Online (www.studenti.unibo.it) and navigate to the "Requests in
Progress" section.
Download and complete the "Adaptations Request” Form.
Upload the completed form (in PDF format) in the designated section.

the National Health Service, an accredited private centre, or a private specialist
accompanied by a conformity statement issued by the National Health Service. The
document must be issued within the last three years or after the student turns 18.
Considering the emergency situation that led to a reduction in the activities of the
National Health Service (SSN) clinics, diagnoses of Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)
under Law No. 170/2010 will be accepted for adaptations requests for admission tests,
even if issued more than three years prior. The Service reserves the right to request an
updated diagnosis after enrolment or at least written proof that you are waiting for a
renewal. For further details, please refer to the page on the website (in Italian):
https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/it/per-studenti/certificazioni-
richieste.

The University’s Service for Students with Disabilities and SLD will evaluate the consistency
of your request with the submitted documentation.

Results will be communicated to your institutional email address

(name.surname@studio.unibo.it). Please, check your email regularly. In case of
incomplete or unclear documentation, you may be asked via email to provide additional
materials within a specified timeframe.

If you do not submit your request or provide the required supplemental documents within
the indicated deadlines, adaptations cannot be granted.

13
 Students with disabilities or SLD residing abroad must submit legalized certifications
attesting to their condition, accompanied by an official translation into Italian or English.
The certifications are reviewed by the competent authorities to verify that the
documentation confirms a disability, or a specific learning disorder as recognized by Italian
law.
For further information about adaptations requests, contact the Service for Students with
Disabilities and SLD at ases.adattamentiammissione@unibo.it.

4.4.c. What happens if my personal training does not meet the adequacy criteria
If your graduation grade falls below the set threshold (greater than or equal to 105 /110)

Studenti Online (www.studenti.unibo.it) what you need to do for the purposes of
identification and career activation.

7.1.a. University identification and career activation

Identification
▪ If you submitted your application by logging in with SPID or CIE: after making the
payment, your identity will be automatically validated.
▪ If you have submitted your application by logging in with your username and
password: complete the identification procedure specified under Matriculation on
Studenti Online (www.studenti.unibo.it).

Career activation
Activating your career enables you to take part in all the activities you will carry out as a
student (e.g. submitting your study plan, booking exams, carrying out any other procedures
related to your career, accessing the Wi-Fi network and online library resources, and using
the MyUnibo app).
After identification, career activation will take place automatically, unless you fall into one
of the following cases:

If you are a non-EU citizen but hold a qualification equivalent to one obtained in
Italy, in order to activate your career you must submit a copy of your valid residence
permit allowing equivalence to the Student Administration Office responsible for your
degree programme.
If you have a foreign qualification, check the documentation required for
matriculation purposes.

18
The documentation submitted in your application for admission (e.g. degree,
transcript, etc.) must be translated and its authenticity and value must be verified,
where required.
You must upload the documents related to foreign qualifications in the Studenti Online
application (www.studenti.unibo.it) by clicking on "Call for applications" and then
"Matriculation for A.Y. 25_26 - document upload for international students with foreign
qualifications".
When you arrive at the University of Bologna, you must make an appointment with the
International Student Administration Office in Bologna or on your campus in order to
show the original copies of your documentation.
If you are a non-EU citizen, but hold an equivalent qualification and have obtained
your qualification abroad: check the documentation required to enrol.
Remember that the documentation submitted in your application for admission (e.g.
degree, transcript, etc.) must be translated and its authenticity and value must be
verified, where required.
In the “Calls” section of Studenti Online (www.studenti.unibo.it), select “Matriculation
A.Y. 25_26 - document upload for international students with foreign
qualifications” and upload your qualification diploma and a copy of your residence
permit allowing equivalence. Moreover, make an appointment with the International
Student Administration Office in Bologna or on your campus in order to show the
original copies of your documentation. PLEASE NOTE: Check very carefully, at
www.unibo.it/StudentiInternazionaliChiSono, what is meant by 'non-EU students with
equivalent status' and what types of residence permits allow for equivalence. Lack of
an equivalent qualification will prevent you from matriculating, even if you have been
admitted and have paid the first instalment.
If you are a non-EU national, are resident abroad and have obtained your
qualification abroad: see details at www.unibo.it//IscrizioneLaureaMagistraleNonUE.
Check the foreign qualification documentation required to matriculate. Remember that
the documentation submitted in your application for admission (e.g. degree, transcript,

19
 etc.) must be translated and its authenticity and value must be verified, where
required.
In the “Calls” section of Studenti Online (www.studenti.unibo.it), select “Matriculation
A.Y. 25_26 - document upload for international students with foreign
qualifications” and upload your qualification diploma and a copy of your entry visa for
study purposes. When you arrive in Italy, make an appointment with the International
Student Administration Office in Bologna or on your campus in order to show the
original copies of your documentation.

Warning: if you have a foreign qualification, admission to the programme and any
subsequent validation of your pre-enrolment with or without reserve by the University
do not confer any right to finalise your matriculation, even in the event of obtaining an
entry visa, being physical present in the country, becoming eligible for and/or actually
receiving scholarships or contributions of any kind. For matriculation purposes, it will
be necessary to verify the actual suitability of the foreign qualification and the
authenticity of the submitted documentation. Your qualification will be formally
checked by the International Student Administration Office in Bologna or on Campus
after paying the first matriculation instalment and submitting the original copies of all
the required documentation.

Career activation must take place by 26 February 2026; otherwise, your matriculation will
be cancelled.
Once your career is active, you will be sent an e-mail with a QR code allowing you to print
your badge.

7.1.b. Shortening a degree programme (for those with previous university careers)

If you want to apply for recognition of previous academic careers, check how you can do
this and the applicable deadlines at https://www.unibo.it/it/studiare/iscrizioni-tasse-e-
altre-procedure/lauree-e-lauree-magistrali/abbreviazione-di-carriera.

7.2 Programme transfers, university transfers and simultaneous enrolment

20
If you want to change degree programme within the University of Bologna (Programme
transfer), check how you can do this at https://www.unibo.it/it/didattica/iscrizioni-
trasferimenti-e-laurea/cambiare-corso-di-studio-interno-universita-di-bologna/cambiare-
corso-di-studio-interno-universita-di-bologna.

If you matriculate and request to be transferred from another university, consult the page
Transferring to the University of Bologna - University of Bologna (unibo.it).

If you wish to apply for simultaneous enrolment in two programmes, as provided for by
Italian Law no. 33 of 12 April 2022, please read the information on the page Simultaneous
enrolment in different programmes - University of Bologna (unibo.it).

If, on the other hand, you register in one programme and are subsequently admitted to
another, but do not wish to maintain enrolment in both programmes, do not enrol
simultaneously; instead:
• if both programmes are at the University of Bologna: apply for a programme
transfer;
• if the first programme is at another university: apply for a university transfer.
Alternatively, you can waive your current programme and proceed with a new
matriculation (Section 4).
Please note!
If you are a non-EU citizen, reside abroad, hold a residence permit for study purposes and
formally renounce your studies at this or another university, you lose the requirements
for residency in Italy, and therefore your residence permit will be revoked. In this case,
you must return to your country of origin and initiate the pre-enrolment procedures
through Universitaly at the competent Italian diplomatic mission (Embassy/Consulate),
within the deadlines set annually and published on the website
https://www.universitaly.it/studenti-stranieri.

8. FEES AND BENEFITS

8.1 University fees

21
Information on tuition fees and on benefits and exemptions is published annually on the
University Portal at www.unibo.it/Tasse.
The fee to be paid to enrol for a degree programme consists of a fixed element of € 157.04
and a variable element calculated according to the student’s family’s financial situation
(ISEE) up to a maximum that varies according to the programme.
Your tuition fees will be calculated on a progressive scale based on a valid ISEE certificate
only if submitted in accordance with the terms and procedures set out on the web page
www.unibo.it/Tasse. If you do not submit an ISEE certificate, you will have to pay the full
tuition fees relevant to your degree programme.
Submission of an ISEE certificate is independent of programme enrolment. The order in
which you carry out the two procedures is irrelevant, as long as you comply with the
deadlines set for each.

Please note!
International students who only have income and assets abroad cannot submit an ISEE
certificate, but must refer to the information at https://www.unibo.it/it/didattica/iscrizioni-
trasferimenti-e-laurea/tasse-e-contributi/ISEE-e-altre-attestazioni-utili-per-le-esenzioni-
delle-tasse-universitarie.

Please note!
Submitting financial documentation for tuition fee exemptions, following the instructions
on www.unibo.it/Tasse, is very simple and worthwhile even if you have not yet decided
whether to enrol in a programme at this university. Remember that if you do not submit
the documentation by the deadline, you will not be eligible for any discount. The deadline
is peremptory and no exceptions are ever allowed.

8.2 Right-to-higher-education grants provided by ER.GO

Azienda Regionale per il Diritto agli Studi Superiori – ER.GO publishes calls for
scholarships, places in university residences, catering and other benefits on its website
(www.er-go.it) every year.
22
The application for ER.GO grants is independent of the degree programme application
and enrolment procedures.

Please note!
You must submit your application for an ER.GO grant via the company's website, also
entering your ISEE certificate. Applying is very simple and is worth doing even if you have
not yet decided whether to enrol in a programme at this university. Remember that calls
have a peremptory deadline and no exceptions are ever allowed.

8.3 Important information for those who already have an active university career
If you already have an active university career, before transferring from another university
or changing programme, if you are already enrolled in a programme at the University of
Bologna, carefully consult the merit requirements for access to grants set out in the call
published on www.er-go.it because, due to the recognition of university educational credits
(CFUs) acquired in your previous career, your position may change as regards access to
grants.

Please note!
For all ER.GO benefits, the minimum number of university educational credits required for
merit is always determined starting from the year of first enrolment at university (even if
for another University, University Institute or Degree Programme, even abroad), regardless
of the year of the programme to which you are admitted following the recognition of your
credits, and only those that are recognised on the programme you are enrolled in are
considered valid.

www.unibo.it/AgevolazioniEconomiche.
For each grant, please carefully read the instructions on how and when to apply.
Remember that deadlines are always peremptory and no exceptions are ever allowed.
