Akademik Koşullar

Applicants must hold a recognised first-cycle (Bachelor / Laurea Triennale) university degree obtained by July 31, 2026 from an officially accredited institution, equivalent to at least 3 years of academic studies (minimum 180 ECTS) and approximately 15 years of total schooling, that qualifies them to enrol in a related second-cycle programme in the country where the degree was awarded. The general 2-year Laurea Magistrale prerequisite framework published on the Cattolica International entry-requirements page lists minimum-ECTS thresholds in Statistics, Mathematics and Management/Economics/Law/Industrial Engineering (for example: 8 ECTS Statistics, 14 ECTS Mathematics, 17 ECTS Management/Economics/Law/Industrial Engineering as captured for related Brescia/Milan programmes). The international.unicatt.it page for AI for Banking and Finance does not publish a programme-specific ECTS table in its public content; the official enrolment-procedure PDFs (Procedure LM_AIBF_2026_BS.pdf, Italian and English versions) on www.unicatt.it state the binding prerequisites and must be consulted for final eligibility. The programme is delivered entirely in English at the Brescia campus and offers two curricula: (1) Data Science (informatics- and machine-learning-intensive, up to ~42 ECTS of informatics-related coursework) and (2) Financial Data Analysis (economics-, management- and quantitative-finance-oriented). Enrolment is confirmed only after the Admissions Office verifies the validity of the qualification. [uncertain on exact AIBF-specific minimum ECTS thresholds]

Dil Koşulları

Applicants must provide proof of English proficiency by submitting one of the accepted certificates. The certificate must be dated January 1, 2024 or later and must be uploaded at the time of application; incomplete or insufficient certificates result in automatic rejection with no second evaluation. Standard minimum scores accepted for English-taught 2-year MSc / Laurea Magistrale programmes (applicable to AI for Banking and Finance, which is not in the higher-threshold list of Banking and Finance, Global Business Management, or The Arts and Industry of Narration): Academic IELTS 6.0 (B2); TOEFL iBT 84 (B2); Cambridge English: First (FCE) 173 (B2-C1); Cambridge English: Advanced/Proficiency accepted (B2-C2); PTE Academic 46 (B2); Oxford Test of English Advanced B2. Applicants are exempt from submitting a language test if they completed their previous studies in Australia, Canada (except Quebec), Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, or the USA. Applicants who completed a full English-taught degree in an EU country must provide an official statement from the institution confirming that the degree was taught in English. Non-EU applicants from Iran, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal who require a study visa must submit a certificate regardless of prior English-taught studies. [uncertain on Duolingo English Test acceptance — it is not listed among accepted certificates]

Sınav / Test

No external entrance test (no GMAT/GRE/written exam). Selection is performed by the International Admissions Office and the programme committee on the basis of the academic record (with mandatory minimum-ECTS prerequisites in Mathematics, Statistics and Management/Economics/Law/Industrial Engineering — see academic_requirements), CV, motivation letter and English certificate. The Admissions Office may contact applicants for an additional interview if needed. Applications are evaluated on a rolling basis within each round, with results typically communicated within ~6 weeks of the round close.
