THE 2026/2027 CYCLE IS CLOSED — every deadline below has already passed as of the research date (30 Ağustos 2026), so a reader planning to apply must target A.Y. 2027/2028, whose call is expected around December 2026 by analogy with this cycle. Unlike most Federico II master's degrees, DIGISOC has NO rolling enrolment window and does NOT follow the University's ordinary 16 July - 2 November immatriculation calendar: it is a numero programmato locale competition with one single annual application window, and missing it means waiting a full year. THE OFFICIAL 2026/2027 TIMELINE, published by the Department of Social Sciences and fixed by the call (R.D. No. 5467 of 19/12/2025), applies IDENTICALLY to EU and EU-equivalent candidates up to the ranking stage and then diverges only at the document-submission step: — 22 Aralık 2025: applications open ("December 22, 2025: Applications open"); — 27 Şubat 2026, 14:00 CET: APPLICATIONS CLOSE — the hard deadline. "The online application procedure will strictly close at 2.00 p.m. on February 27, 2026, after which no further applications will be accepted. Failure to submit the application by the deadline and according to the specified procedures will result in exclusion from the admission process."; — 13 Mart 2026: admission test, online; — 20 Mart 2026: publication of results ("The anonymised results of the admission test will be announced no later than March 20, 2026"), in fact issued that day as DR/2026/1111; — 3 Nisan 2026: ACCEPTANCE CONFIRMATION DEADLINE — "By April 03, 2026, eligible candidates must confirm their acceptance of the offered place by sending an email to info@digisoc.eu from the email address provided in their application. Candidates who fail to react within the specified deadline will be deemed to have tacitly renounced their place and will permanently forfeit their right to enrolment."; — 31 Temmuz 2026: DOCUMENT DEADLINE FOR EU AND EU-EQUIVALENT CANDIDATES — "EU and EU-equivalent candidates must submit the required documentation no later than July 31, 2026." This same date is the backstop for EU candidates admitted sub conditione, who must by then have obtained both the bachelor degree and the English certificate; — then payment: "Upon receipt of the payment notice, candidates shall have 30 days to complete the required abovementioned payments", with automatic forfeiture on late payment. (For comparison, the 2025/26 first edition ran on a completely different, much later calendar: applications 14 April - 20 June 2025, test 2 July 2025, results by 10 July, acceptance by 17 July, payment instructions by 1 August and payment by 1 September 2025 at 12:00, with a second allocation round publishing eligible candidates by 8 September and closing 15 September 2025. The shift of roughly four months earlier between the first and second editions is the reason a prospective applicant must not plan on summer deadlines.) WHO COUNTS AS EU-EQUIVALENT: candidates "who reside in a EU country with a residence permit" — so a non-EU national already legally resident in the EU applies in the EU ranking on the EU timeline, not in the far more competitive non-EU one. PRACTICAL ADVICE: watch https://www.scienzesociali.unina.it and https://digitalsociety4innovation.eu from late November 2026, and budget for a Feb/March 2027 test.
