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 representing approximately 15 years of total prior schooling, that qualifies them to enrol in a related second-cycle programme in the country where the degree was awarded. The Banking and Finance Laurea Magistrale is in the Italian degree class LM-77 R (Management) and is delivered as a single English-taught curriculum 'Trading and Risk Management' at the Milan campus by the School of Banking, Finance and Insurance Sciences. The programme is accredited by the CFA Institute (Chartered Financial Analyst Institute) and benefits from an agreement with AIAF (Italian Association of Financial Analysts and Advisors). The Cattolica International programme overview page does not enumerate programme-specific minimum-ECTS prerequisites in Statistics, Mathematics, and Economics/Management for Banking and Finance verbatim, but Cattolica's standard practice for economics-faculty 2-year MSc programmes (Management, Innovation and Technology Management, Data Analytics for Business) is minimum 8 ECTS in Statistics, 14 ECTS in Mathematics and 17 ECTS in Management/Economics/Law/Industrial Engineering; this same threshold is expected to apply to Banking and Finance but is not separately published verbatim on the Banking and Finance page. [uncertain on the exact CFU prerequisite breakdown specific to Banking and Finance and on whether higher Mathematics/Statistics minimums apply for this quantitative programme]

Dil Koşulları

Banking and Finance is one of three 2-year Laurea Magistrale programmes that require a HIGHER English score than the standard MSc threshold. Applicants must provide proof of English proficiency by submitting one of the accepted certificates with the following minimums (B2 level): Academic IELTS 6.5; TOEFL iBT 84; Cambridge English: First (FCE) 173. PTE Academic and Oxford Test of English are accepted at standard B2 levels (PTE 46; Oxford Test of English Advanced B2). Duolingo English Test is not listed among accepted certificates. The certificate must be dated January 1, 2024 or later (Cattolica enforces a 2-year validity window relative to the 2026/2027 academic year) and must be uploaded at the time of application — late submissions are not accepted and incomplete applications are rejected. 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. Visa applicants from Iran, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, or Nepal must submit a language certificate regardless of degree origin. [uncertain on Duolingo and on mother-tongue exemption beyond the country list]

Sınav / Test

No external entrance test (no GMAT/GRE required).

The 2026/2027 intake closed before the standard Round 2 deadline; admission for 2027/2028 will reopen in Autumn 2026.
