Akademik Koşullar

Applicants must hold a recognised first-cycle (Bachelor / Laurea Triennale) university degree obtained by 31 July 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, qualifying the holder to enrol in a related second-cycle programme in the country of award. Programme-specific curricular requirements: the LM-70 R degree class (Scienze e tecnologie alimentari) typically requires prior coursework in chemistry, biology/biochemistry, microbiology, food science/technology, mathematics/statistics and economics — applicants must complete the verification of curricular requirements on the iscrizioni.unicatt.it portal before submitting an application. The international.unicatt.it page states: 'Selection is based on a holistic assessment of the application profile, including academic performance, English language proficiency, and quality and alignment of the motivation letter.' The Faculty of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences evaluates the suitability of each applicant's academic degree for admission to the Laurea Magistrale. Enrolment is confirmed only after the Admissions Office verifies the validity of the qualification. The programme is also part of a double-degree partnership with ISARA Lyon (MSc in Sustainable Food Systems) — selection for the double-degree track is competitive and occurs after enrolment.
