If you do not meet the minimum academic requirements, you must fulfill them before enrolment by successfully completing Bachelor's-level single courses at Ca' Foscari University or another accredited institution.

Personal preparation refers to the adequate knowledge in the fields of computer science and humanities.

Your personal preparation will be assessed through the evaluation of your curriculum vitae and studiorum.

Students who meet the following requirements are generally considered to have the necessary personal preparation:

• completed a bachelor's degree in: L-1 Cultural heritage; L-10 Humanities; L-15 Tourism; L-20 Communication; L-31 Computer Science; L-42 History, or equivalent;
• minimum final grade: 90/110.

If you do not meet both of these requirements, your personal preparation will be assessed through an accurate evaluation of your curriculum vitae and studiorum. The Teaching Committee reserves the right to evaluate candidates' preparation with an additional interview.

A minimum B2-level knowledge of English is mandatory for enrolment. You can demonstrate your English knowledge level by submitting one of the recognised certifications or if you fall within one of the exemption categories listed on the language requirement webpage.

You will not be allowed to enrol if you do not meet the language requirement by the enrolment deadline.

In order to submit your entry requirements evaluation request, you need to upload your:

• signed self-certification of degree with exams; or, if you are still a bachelor's degree student, your signed self-certification of enrolment with exams. Please note that your self-certification must include: the University where you achieved the qualification, the class code, the name of the degree programme, your graduation date and mark, the list of the exams you have taken with their academic fields and disciplines sector and relative weight in CFU (ECTS);
• your curriculum vitae;
• any additional document useful for the evaluation of your personal preparation, for example the English language certification (or certificate of exemption) if you already obtained it.

Graduand candidates

If you participate in the entry requirements evaluation process as a graduand candidate, you need to indicate your weighted average instead of your bachelor's degree final grade. Your signed self-certification of enrolment with exams will replace the signed self-certification of degree with exams.

The enrolment procedure is carried out completely online and consists of the following steps:

• Registration on the University website: this involves filling in your personal data, residence, and domicile. You do not need to register if you have previously studied at Ca’ Foscari.
• Accessing your Personal Area: you can log in using your SPID or CIE (Electronic Identity Card) credentials. Alternatively, if you already have an active matricola and password, you may use those. If you are a non-Italian citizen currently residing outside of Italy, you can request login credentials via www.unive.it/nospidaccess.
• Enrolment application: to submit your application within the Personal Area, select the function "Immatricolazione ai corsi ad accesso libero" (Enrolment for open-access courses). Once you have selected your degree programme, you must complete the enrolment form. During this process, you can upload any documentation required for your enrolment (e.g., language certifications, credit recognition forms, self-certifications, etc). If you participated in the entry requirements evaluation process as a graduand candidate, you must upload your signed self-certification of enrolment with exams. Please note that your self-certification must include: the University where you achieved the qualification, the class code, the name of the degree programme, your graduation date and mark, the list of the exams you have taken with their academic fields and disciplines sector and relative weight in CFU (ECTS).

• Payment of the first instalment of the tuition fees: the payment must be carried out using the PagoPA system, by clicking on the “payment” button when finishing the enrolment application procedure.

Failure to comply with the deadline specified above results in the loss of the right to enrol: if you encounter any problems, please submit a request by accessing this link: www.unive.it/faqsforstudents before the deadline.

Submitting the enrolment application and paying the first instalment does not guarantee automatic enrolment. The Enrolment Unit will review each request and complete the process within 7 working days. Once finalised, newly enrolled students will be notified via email.

You are required to upload the following documents:

• a signed self-certification form listing exams. Please indicate for each exam: the name of the Course of study and class code, the name of the University, the name of the courses taken with their academic fields and disciplines sector and relative weight in CFU (ECTS), the mark and the exam date. This document might be available in your University Reserved Area: if it is not available or, if all the required data is not listed, you may use the forms on this page;
• any exam syllabus in your possession.

Requests for credit recognition are to be submitted to the Campus. The Teaching Committee will evaluate your request. Once approved, the credit recognition form will be sent to you via e-mail. Please remember to sign the form.

In order for you to be an eligible candidate for this master's degree programme, you must meet all the entry requirements.

The Credit Recognition Form must be attached during the enrolment procedure. If you are transferring from another University you do not need to fill in any enrolment request; the Enrolment Unit will create it for you.

Enrolment with credit recognition is subject to the fee payment of 300,00 euros: the payment invoice will be provided upon confirmation of enrolment.
You are not obliged to pay if you request credit recognition for: 

• activities undertaken previously at Ca' Foscari (for example, single courses) if the code of the lectures corresponds to that required by the study plan. In the case that some lectures do not fall among those included in the study plan, and consequently are listed among those that can be chosen by the student, you will have to pay the 300,00 euros fee;
• inter-university transfer;
• simultaneous enrolment. 

Credits will be recognised according to the Linee guida per riconoscimento CFU [ITA] (CFU Recognition Guidelines).

Activities recognised through a completed Master's degree or Master's diploma will not affect the final grade. However, activities recognised from single courses or from an incomplete university career resulting from withdrawal, expiration, or transfer will be taken into account for grade point average.

Enrolment with credit recognition is not allowed to students concurrently enrolled in another University degree programme, for which suspension has been requested.
