Data Science

Akademik geçmiş

• Seats (total): NO SEAT CAP — the programme is accesso libero ("Admission: Libero" on the orientation portal fact sheet), so no total number of places is set or published, and there is no ranking list. only in the sense that a null is being reported rather than a number: no unina.it page for the Data Science LM publishes any figure for total places, and no bando di ammissione exists for it. This is the normal situation for Federico II's open-access two-year master's degrees (the published seat numbers on unina.it — e.g. 93 places for Building Engineering-Architecture, 120 for Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology — belong to numero programmato courses only). Practical consequence for applicants: there is no competitive cut-off to beat and no risk of being ranked out; the only gate is the curricular prerequisite check plus, for non-EU applicants, the visa/pre-enrolment pipeline. | Seats (non-EU reserved): NONE PUBLISHED — because the course has no seat cap, there is no reserved sub-quota for non-EU applicants residing abroad on any unina.it page. with one caveat: Italian universities must still declare an annual contingent of places for non-EU visa students on the ministerial UNIVERSITALY portal even for open-access courses, and that per-course figure is published on universitaly.it rather than on unina.it, so it could not be verified within the unina.it-only source restriction imposed by this research task. What unina.it does say is a soft capacity constraint rather than a numeric quota: after the 15 June 2026 pre-enrolment deadline, "pre-enrolment is allowed to the programmes with restricted access only" — i.e. an open-access programme like Data Science stops accepting new non-EU pre-enrolments after that date. For comparison, where Federico II does reserve non-EU seats it states them explicitly and numerically in the course's bando (e.g. "3 reserved for non-EU citizens residing abroad, of which 1 for Chinese citizens"); no such statement exists for Data Science. Applicants should check the Data Science entry on universitaly.it for the current academic year, or write to pre-enrolment@unina.it.
• A first-cycle degree (Laurea triennale / Bachelor) in a SCIENTIFIC OR ECONOMIC discipline, plus a minimum credit threshold and — for foreign-degree holders — a minimum grade. THE THREE PUBLISHED PREREQUISITES (from the programme's 'Info for foreign students' page): "1. A Bachelor Degree with at least 30 CFUs (Credits) in engineering, computer sciences, mathematics, statistics or physics. Of these at least 6 CFU must be in computer sciences-related topics
• 2. The score of your bachelor must be above 7 in a 10 scale

ENGLISH B2 OR HIGHER, BY CERTIFICATE ONLY — this is a hard, non-negotiable admission requirement and is unusually strictly worded for Federico II. The programme states: "A good knowledge (certified B2 or higher) of English both written and spoken is also a necessary condition to be admitted", and, in the prerequisites list, "A certification for the English proficiency (level B2 or higher) released by an official certification institute (University declarations are not sufficient)." THE PARENTHETICAL IS THE CRITICAL DETAIL: a letter or declaration from your home university stating that your degree was taught in English is expressly NOT accepted; you need a certificate from a recognised examination body. The programme names no closed list of accepted certificates; the University's admission regulation refers generically to "an international certificate attesting to the level of English language skills (IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge, etc.)". Preparation courses are offered by the University Language Centre: "Foreign and Italian courses for foreign students are provided by the CLA (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo / Atheneum Language Center)" — https://www.cla.unina.it/en/home . ITALIAN: NOT REQUIRED AT ADMISSION. Because Data Science is an English-taught degree, the University-wide rule applies: "If you choose a three-year, five-year or single-cycle degree course in ENGLISH, level B2 Italian language proficiency is not required." No Italian certificate and no Italian language test are needed to be admitted or to get the visa validated. BUT ITALIAN IS REQUIRED TO GRADUATE. The 2026/2027 official Study Program attaches the Italian requirement to the 6-CFU "Additional knowledge" slot in the second year: "For foreign students only, these credits will be awarded after obtaining a certificate of knowledge of the Italian language (courses provided by the University Language Center - CLA)." The course website confirms: "Foreign students must obtain these credits by (i) following a course in the Italian language at the Linguistic Center of the Atheneum, and (ii) by following the Picariello lectures". No CEFR level is specified for this graduation-side Italian certificate — plan on taking a CLA course during the programme. VISA-SIDE NOTE: the University advises that an English certificate is "useful for the issue of the visa by the diplomatic/consular Representation", so the same B2 certificate should be uploaded to Universitaly. OUTPUT-LANGUAGE RULES: internship reports "must be in English"; the thesis "must be written in English, and must be exhaustive, i.e. it must be understandable also by a competent person who is not an expert of the specific field"; the final exam is a 30-40 minute presentation plus Q&A.

Sınav / değerlendirme

NO ENTRY EXAM, NO ADMISSION TEST, NO TOLC, NO SAT, NO INTERVIEW, NO PORTFOLIO. Admission is 'Libero' (open) on the orientation portal, and no unina.it page for this programme mentions any written test, oral test, motivational interview or ranked selection. What replaces a test is a DOCUMENTARY EVALUATION of the applicant's academic record: for Italian non-UNINA graduates "at the moment of enrollment, students must present a complete record of their academic achievements. The document will then be passed by the secretariat to a committee of professors who will evaluate the CV and — when it is the case — will decide whether the student has the minimum amount of competencies."; for UNINA graduates from outside the listed fields "the student should first submit to the enrollment office (secretary) a complete academic CV (with the list of the exams). The CV will then be evaluated. In some cases, the applicants can be required to acquire missing CFU's prior admission." For foreign applicants the equivalent step is the coordinator's issue of a PRE-ACCEPTANCE LETTER: the University's 2026/27 non-EU information booklet explains "A pre-acceptance letter certifies your eligibility for the selected degree programme. It is issued by the Programme Coordinator following an evaluation of the documents you have submitted" and "The University will validate your application once the course coordinator has issued your pre-acceptance letter." Note the University-level caution that this evaluation is not a formality: "Pre-enrolment alone does not grant admission to degree programmes. Applicants must meet all academic and admission requirements" and "The issuance of a visa does not automatically guarantee enrolment at the University." ENGLISH IS CERTIFIED BY DOCUMENT, NOT BY TEST — the programme requires a B2+ certificate from an official certification body and explicitly refuses university self-declarations (see language_requirements). ITALIAN LANGUAGE TEST: not applicable at admission, because the University waives the B2 Italian requirement for English-taught degrees; but note that an Italian-language certificate from the CLA is needed later to earn the 6-CFU 'other activities' credits.

• THERE IS NO PROGRAMME-SPECIFIC DOCUMENT CHECKLIST ON THE COURSE SITE — the FAQ simply says "Needed documents. Look here" and points to the University pages. The applicable University-level lists are: (1) FOR NON-EU PRE-ENROLMENT ON UNIVERSITALY (uploaded as PDF), master's-degree track: Transcript of Records (ToR); final degree certificate; detailed course descriptions (syllabi); additional documents such as language certificates, motivation letter, reference letters; a PRE-ACCEPTANCE LETTER FROM THE PROGRAMME COORDINATOR; and Declaration of Value (DoV) or the CIMEA Statement of Comparability AND Statement of Verification (both, jointly). Plus, in the application itself, personal data exactly as on the passport and the Embassy/Consulate where the visa will be requested. (2) QUALIFICATION-RECOGNITION DOCUMENTS (mandatory at enrolment): Declaration of Value issued by an Italian Embassy/Consulate — or, as an alternative, CIMEA Statement of Comparability + Statement of Verification (https://cimea-diplome.it/). If the qualification comes from a European Higher Education Area / Bologna Process country, submit a DIPLOMA SUPPLEMENT accompanied by a CIMEA Statement of Verification. Holders of qualifications from Lisbon Recognition Convention signatory countries may use CIMEA's ARDI platform to obtain a Statement of Correspondence plus a Statement of Verification. "At the enrolment stage, the above-mentioned documents are mandatory and must accompany the submitted/declared academic qualifications." (3) TO TAKE TO THE ITALIAN EMBASSY: the Universitaly pre-enrolment summary validated by the University; any language competence certificates; the visa-application documents including a health insurance policy; the foreign-qualification documents. Visa financial requirement: proof of means of subsistence of EUR 10,179.85 per year, funds for repatriation, suitable accommodation and medical insurance. (4) FOR ENROLMENT (MATRICULATION) AT THE STUDENT OFFICE — international students: copy of passport; application form; 1 passport photo; Italian tax code (codice fiscale — mandatory to complete enrolment, obtainable from Agenzia delle Entrate or an Italian embassy); residence permit or proof of having applied for it; Declaration of Value or ENIC-NARIC/CIMEA certificate. Note that "Coloro che presentano una cittadinanza straniera dovranno effettuare l'iscrizione presso gli sportelli delle Segreterie Studenti, non potranno usare la procedura on-line" — foreign-citizenship students must enrol in person at the student office counter, not online. (5) FOR ITALIAN/EU ENROLMENT VIA SEGREPASS (www.segrepass.unina.it), per the University FAQ for open-access two-year master's degrees, the packet to hand in within 10 days of receiving the matriculation number is: the printed plico (summary of the data entered in the matriculation procedure); one passport-size photo (unless already uploaded); a photocopy of a valid identity document; and — if the bachelor was obtained at a university other than Federico II — a self-certification of the degree under D.P.R. 445/2000 stating the awarding university, the exact title obtained, the date and the final grade, and the full list of exams passed with, for each exam, the date, grade, number of CFU and SSD (scientific-disciplinary sector). (6) DE FACTO PROGRAMME-SPECIFIC ITEMS: the B2+ English certificate from an official certification body (a university declaration is not accepted), and — for applicants who do NOT meet all three published prerequisites — a completed pre-evaluation Google Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8xMmFHTLpQYA6hVC3APSgZnFICosYleWLrI8EOWO6vgs_0g/viewform); applicants who DO meet all prerequisites are instructed not to submit that form. Enquiries: cdsm.datascience@unina.it; non-EU pre-enrolment: pre-enrolment@unina.it (put the programme name and your pre-application number in the subject line).
