Akademik geçmiş

ENTRY QUALIFICATION. A first-cycle degree (bachelor's) obtained after at least 3 years of university education, or a three-year Diploma Universitario, or an equivalent foreign qualification recognised as suitable under Italian law. apply.unito.it: 'You must hold a first-cycle degree (i.e. bachelor's degree) gained after at least 3 years of University education. You will also need to meet specific admission requirements and demonstrate a suitable academic preparation and a solid background.' Enrolment with formative gaps ('carenze formative') is NOT permitted - the requirements must be met in full before enrolment. MINIMUM CURRICULAR REQUIREMENTS (requisiti curriculari minimi). At least 60 CFU/ECTS in basic and/or characterising educational activities of the Italian ministerial table for class L-25 (Scienze e Tecnologie Agrarie) - or class 20 (Scienze e Tecnologie agrarie, agroalimentari e forestali) of the previous ordinamento - or in one or more of the following Italian scientific-disciplinary sectors (SSD): AGR/01-04, AGR/07-09, AGR/11-13, AGR/16, AGR/17-20, BIO/03, CHIM/03, CHIM/06, FIS/01-08, ICAR/06, MAT/01-09. Of those 60 CFU, AT LEAST 30 CFU must fall in one or more of: AGR/01-04, AGR/07-09, AGR/11-13, AGR/16, AGR/17-20. In practice this means an agricultural / agronomy / agricultural-technology bachelor's; a purely biological, environmental or engineering bachelor's will normally NOT reach the 30 AGR-sector CFU threshold. Candidates must document this by attaching to the online application a self-certification of the qualification and of the exams taken and, for students coming from another university or department, copies of the syllabi of the courses taken. apply.unito.it summarises the same requirement as 'a sufficient number of exams in: mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, crop production and livestock farming'. SUBJECT SYLLABUS ASSESSED. Agricultural Microbiology (biology and physiology of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms of agricultural interest); Crop production (food and non-food ground crops and fruit trees of great interest for Italian agriculture); Plant Protection (most common plant pests and diseases and basic knowledge of the main pest-control strategies); Agricultural engineering (basic knowledge of agricultural machinery used across farm types and businesses); Animal science (basic knowledge of stock-farming techniques including livestock nutrition); English (comprehension and translation skills). GPA / MARK THRESHOLD. There is no published minimum GPA for foreign applicants. The only mark threshold in the regulation is an EXEMPTION rule for Italian qualifications: graduates of class L-25 with a final degree mark above 90/110 are automatically considered to have adequate personal preparation and skip the assessment. Everyone else - including all foreign-degree holders - must sit the assessment regardless of grades. PLACES AND NON-EU QUOTA. The degree is open access, so there is no overall cap on Italian/EU places. For non-EU applicants residing abroad there IS a quota: apply.unito.it 'Territory requirements' states 'This degree program has 50 available places for non-European applicants residing abroad. These places are shared among all the curricula of this degree program.' Note the wording carefully - the 50 places belong to the whole Agricultural Science (Scienze agrarie) master's degree and are SHARED across all its curricula (Sustainable Crop Management, Smart Agriculture, International Cooperation and the standard track); there is no separate quota reserved for Smart Agriculture alone. DOCUMENT LANGUAGES. 'The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / French / Italian / Spanish. If the document is issued in a different language from those listed above, you will have to upload both the original document and its certified translation.' [uncertain - the 60/30 CFU SSD breakdown and the L-25 >90/110 exemption come from the Italian 'Requisiti di ammissione' page (own last-update stamp 11/03/2025) retrieved via the Internet Archive; the 2026/27 Didactic Regulation may restate them. Also uncertain: exactly how a foreign (non-Italian) transcript is mapped onto Italian SSD codes - this is decided case by case by the Committee and no published conversion table was found.]Tümünü okuDaralt

Dil yeterliliği

ENGLISH. The Didactic Regulation treats English B2 as a prerequisite that is assumed/required rather than certified: 'Sono date per acquisite ... una capacita di utilizzo fluente, in forma scritta e orale, della lingua inglese, corrispondente almeno al livello B2' - fluent written and oral command of English corresponding to at least CEFR B2 is taken as acquired on entry. The course Syllabus separately lists 'English: comprehension and translation skills in English' among the knowledge areas assessed. Crucially, apply.unito.it does NOT list a mandatory English certificate (IELTS/TOEFL/Cambridge) with a minimum score for this course; instead the 'Language requirements' block names both English AND Italian and states: 'Your knowledge of the English and Italian languages will be verified during the admission interview.' So the English check is an oral/interview check, not a certificate threshold - although a certificate can be uploaded as supporting evidence and apply.unito.it's general guidance mentions 'English language certifications' as an example of documents some postgraduate programmes require. ITALIAN. Italian is a genuine requirement here, not optional, precisely because this is a pathway inside an Italian-taught degree: the first semester (Y1S1) and part of the final semester are delivered in Italian, so roughly half of the 120 ECTS is not available in English. apply.unito.it explicitly lists Italian alongside English under Language requirements and says both will be verified in the admission interview. The Italian regulation adds that non-EU students subject to the Italian language proficiency test have their personal-preparation assessment carried out during that same Italian-language interview, and that the interview may alternatively be conducted in English on the Syllabus subjects. ITALIAN CERTIFICATE (CLIQ B2) - DOES NOT APPLY AT THIS LEVEL. UNITO's rule is scoped to first-cycle and single-cycle degrees only: 'Non-EU applicants residing abroad (visa applicants) only. For undergraduate or 5-6-year postgraduate degree programs with free admission taught in Italian, an Italian language certificate at least at a B2 level, issued from 2023 onwards under the CLIQ quality system, is required. The certificate must be uploaded on Apply@UniTo and/or Universitaly by July 15, 2026.' Because Smart Agriculture sits inside a 2-year laurea magistrale, this CLIQ certificate obligation is NOT triggered; the Italian check is done by the departmental interview instead. Accepted CLIQ certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA, etc.) and the CISIA ITA-L2 test are nonetheless useful supporting evidence. [uncertain - no numeric certificate threshold (e.g. IELTS 6.0) is published anywhere for this course, so the English standard is enforced only through the interview and the B2 wording of the regulation; and the exact Italian level expected at interview is not quantified in any official document found. Applicants should e-mail the programme coordinator (Prof. Giorgio Borreani, giorgio.borreani@unito.it) or didattica.disafa@unito.it to confirm before applying.]Tümünü okuDaralt

Sınav / değerlendirme

No national/standardised entrance exam (no TOLC, no GRE/GMAT, no SAT). Instead there is a mandatory two-part departmental admission assessment. (1) Curricular check: 'A dedicated Committee appointed by the Degree programme Committee will assess curricular requirements and check the educational qualifications presented by each candidate, that have to include a sufficient number of exams in: mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, crop production and livestock farming.' (2) Assessment of personal preparation: 'The above mentioned Committee will also assess candidate's personal preparation through in-person and web interviews' - i.e. the interview can be held remotely, which matters for overseas applicants. Per the Italian regulation page, the assessment consists of a written test of 50 questions - 10 for each of the five Syllabus subjects, English excluded - passed with at least 25 correct answers out of 50, and IRRESPECTIVE of the written result there is always an oral interview (colloquio orale) that determines the final outcome. The five test subjects are: Agricultural Microbiology; Crop production; Plant Protection; Agricultural engineering; Animal science (a sixth Syllabus item, English comprehension and translation skills, is assessed but is not part of the 50-question test). Sessions are held periodically in rooms open to the public, before at least three lecturers of the Master's programme, with dates announced on the course website. A candidate may sit the admission test at most twice per academic year; a failed candidate may re-present at a later scheduled date. Exemption: graduates of Italian class L-25 with a final mark above 90/110 are deemed to have adequate personal preparation and are exempt from the test. For non-EU students who must also pass the Italian language proficiency check, the personal-preparation assessment takes place during the same interview as the Italian language test, and that interview may also be conducted in English on the same Syllabus subjects. Candidates lacking the curricular requirements may, on the indication of the Course Study Commission, take single courses (singoli insegnamenti) offered by the University and pass the related assessment before being allowed to sit the personal-preparation check. [uncertain - the 50-question / 25-correct structure and the two-attempts-per-year cap come from the Italian 'Requisiti di ammissione' page as archived on 10 April 2026 (page's own last-update stamp: 11/03/2025); the 2026/27 Didactic Regulation could adjust these figures, and the live page could not be fetched directly.]Tümünü okuDaralt
