If you do not meet the minimum academic requirements, you must fulfill them before enrolment by successfully completing Bachelor's-level single courses at Ca' Foscari University or another accredited institution.

Personal preparation refers to the adequate knowledge in Mathematics, Computer science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology and Earth and Social Sciences.

Your personal preparation will be assessed through the evaluation of your curriculum vitae and studiorum.

Students who meet the following requirements are generally considered to have the necessary personal preparation:

• completed a bachelor's degree in: L-02 Biotechnologies, L- 13 Biology, L-25 Agriculture and Forestry, L-32 Environmental sciences, L-34 Earth Sciences; or an equivalent degree
• final grade: 80/110.

If you do not meet both of these requirements, your personal preparation will be assessed through an accurate evaluation of your curriculum vitae and studiorum. The Teaching Committee reserves the right to evaluate candidates' preparation with an additional interview.

In order to obtain a master's degree, a minimum B2 level knowledge of the English language is required: the list of recognised certifications and cases of exemption are available on the Language requirements webpage. Those who do not possess a minimum B2 level knowledge at the time of enrolment, will be required to acquire it to conclude their master's degree programme.

A minimum B1-level knowledge of English is mandatory for enrolment in the Monitoraggio e Risanamento dell’Ambiente and Capitale Naturale e Servizi Ecosistemici curricula. 

The Global Change and Sustainability curriculum, which is taught in English, requires a minimum B2-level knowledge of the English language.

You can demonstrate your English knowledge level by submitting one of the recognised certifications or if you fall within one of the exemption categories listed on the language requirements webpage. You can apply to this programme even if you have yet to obtain a language certification, but you will not be allowed to enrol if you do not meet the language requirement by the enrolment deadline.

In order to submit your entry requirements evaluation request, you need to upload your:

• signed self-certification of degree with exams; or, if you are still a bachelor's degree student, your signed self-certification of enrolment with exams. Please note that your self-certification must include: the University where you achieved the qualification, the class code, the name of the degree programme, your graduation date and mark, the list of the exams you have taken with their academic fields and disciplines sector and relative weight in CFU (ECTS);
• your curriculum vitae;
• any additional document useful for the evaluation of your personal preparation, for example the English language certification (or certificate of exemption) if you already obtained it.
• if possessed, the certificate of "Health and Safety in educational activities and research in scientific areas" D. Lgs. 81/2008 and smi and DM 363/1998.

Graduand candidates

If you participate in the entry requirements evaluation process as a graduand candidate, you need to indicate your weighted average instead of your bachelor's degree final grade. Your signed self-certification of enrolment with exams will replace the signed self-certification of degree with exams.

Once the course has been selected, you must fill out the enrolment form. While filling out the form, you can upload those documents that demonstrate your knowledge and experience  (e.g. recognised language certifications; credit recognition form; self-certification, etc). Once the documents have been uploaded, you must confirm all the data entered and proceed to the payment section. If you particpated in the entry requirements evalutation process as a graduand candidate you must upload your signed self-certification of enrolment with exams. Please note that your self-certification must include: the University where you achieved the qualification, the class code, the name of the degree programme, your graduation date and mark, the list of the exams you have taken with their academic fields and disciplines sector and relative weight in CFU (ECTS).

• Payment of the first instalment of the tuition fees: the payment must be carried out using the PagoPA system, by clicking on the “payment” button when finishing the pre-enrolment procedure.

Failure to comply with the deadline specified above results in the loss of the right to enrol: if you encounter any problems, please submit a request by accessing this link: www.unive.it/faqsforstudents before the deadline.

Submitting the enrolment application and paying the first instalment does not guarantee automatic enrolment. The Enrolment Unit will review each request and complete the process within 7 working days. Once finalised, newly enrolled students will be notified via email.

Exceptional cases

Remember that it is possible to enrol in a degree programme requesting:

• recognition of formative activities already carried out;
• status of part-time student;
• status of student-athlete;
• the economic treatment dedicated to students with a disability;
• simultaneous enrolment.

You are required to upload the following documents:

• a signed self-certification form listing exams. Please indicate for each exam: the name of the Course of study and class code, the name of the University, the name of the courses taken with their academic fields and disciplines sector and relative weight in CFU (ECTS), the mark and the exam date. This document might be available in your University Reserved Area: if it is not available or, if all the required data is not listed, you may use the forms on this page;
• any exam syllabus in your possession.

Requests for credit recognition are to be submitted to the Campus. The Teaching Committee will evaluate your request. Once approved, the credit recognition form will be sent to you via e-mail. Please remember to sign the form.

You can request credits recognition for the activites carried out in:

• Master's Degrees, or Master's Diplomas;
• incomplete University studies as a result of withdrawal or lapsed status;
• single courses;
• Internship/traineeships/previous employment;
• simultaneous enrolment.

Credits will be recognised according to the Linee guida per riconoscimento CFU [ITA] (CFU Recognition Guidelines).

Activities recognised through a completed Master's degrees or Master's diplomas will not affect the final grade. However, activities recognised from single courses or from an incomplete university career resulting from withdrawal, expiration, or transfer will be taken into account for grade point average.

Enrolment with credit recognition is subject to the fee payment of 300.00 euros: the payment invoice will be provided upon confirmation of enrolment.

You are not obliged to pay if you request credit recognition:

• from activities undertaken previously at Ca' Foscari (for example single courses) if the code of the lectures corresponds to that required by the study plan. In the case that some lectures do not fall among those included in the study plan, and consequently are listed among those that can be chosen by the student, you will have to pay the 300.00 euros fee;
• from inter-university transfer;
• from simultaneous enrolment.

Enrolment with credit recognition is not allowed to students concurrently enrolled in another University degree programme and for which suspension has been requested.
