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 Global Business Management Laurea Magistrale is in the Italian degree class LM-77 R (Management) and is delivered entirely in English at the Piacenza campus by the Faculty of Economics and Law; it is positioned as Cattolica's 'most international' graduate programme and equips students to lead cross-border teams, manage M&A, and drive sustainable global business practices. The programme is part of the IPBS (International Partnership of Business Schools) consortium and offers Double Degree options with prestigious partner universities, including: Dublin (Ireland); NEOMA Business School Reims/Rouen (France); North Carolina State University in Raleigh (USA); Lancaster University (UK); Madrid (Spain); ESB Reutlingen (Germany); UPAEP Puebla (Mexico); and Brazil (São Paulo). The international.unicatt.it programme overview page does not enumerate programme-specific minimum-ECTS prerequisites verbatim, but Cattolica's standard Faculty of Economics MSc threshold (minimum 8 ECTS in Statistics, 14 ECTS in Mathematics, 17 ECTS in Management/Economics/Law/Industrial Engineering) applies to this programme as well. [uncertain on whether Global Business Management imposes additional/stricter prerequisites beyond the standard Faculty of Economics threshold, and on the specific GPA/ranking thresholds used for Double Degree selection]

Dil Koşulları

Global Business Management 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 85; Cambridge English: First (FCE) 180; Cambridge English: Advanced/Proficiency accepted (B2-C2); PTE Academic accepted at the standard B2 minimum; 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. Double Degree partners may impose their own additional language requirements at the year-2 selection stage. [uncertain on Duolingo and on whether partner universities require additional language certification]

Sınav / Test

No external entrance test (no GMAT/GRE required). Selection is based on review of academic record (with mandatory minimum-ECTS prerequisites in Statistics, Mathematics and Management/Economics), 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 round close. Selection for the Double Degree track requires a separate application step at the start of year 2.
