1. The evaluation and recognition of academic study cycles performed abroad and of international degrees are carried out by the Faculty’s academic bodies and are exclusively aimed at students’ continuation of academic studies.
Students holding a foreign degree who wish to enrol in a master’s degree programme must have completed a school/academic course of studies of at least 15 years (12+3 or 11+4 or 10+5).
The automatic equivalence of a foreign degree with an Italian one exclusively applies if provided for by international agreements or if the degree programme belongs to an EU academic system. Students who wish to enrol in a degree programme, even shortened, must abide by the directions of the calls for applications governing enrolment in the degree programmes of choice and submit the documents listed in paragraph 3 below.
2. The application for the assessment of a degree or of exams may be exclusively made upon enrolment and at all events not later than January 31 of the academic year of enrolment in the degree programme.
