A successful applicant for admission to the second cycle degree course must hold a first cycle/Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification that guarantees: essential skills on agricultural and environmental sciences; existing skills in investigating research techniques as well as the ability to apply research findings to real problems. Proficiency in English at B2 level or equivalent (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL) according to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is required. If the applicant is an English native speaker or has completed his/her High School and/or Bachelor/first cycle degree in English, no language certification is required. Admission to the course is subject to an assessment by the Teaching committee that verifies, possibly also through an on line interview, the applicant’s motivations, knowledge and skills. The Teaching committee takes into account the applicant’s skills in agricultural and environmental sciences. Should there be difficulty in establishing the equivalent Italian First Cycle degree classification of the applicant’s foreign degree and the final degree grade, and in identifying the specific required skills the Teaching committee will evaluate the applicant’s overall curriculum.
