- at least 24 credits in MAT and FIS.
Requirement 2:
1st cycle degree in class L-7 (Civil and Environmental Engineering) ex DM 270/2004 or class L-8 (Civil and Environmental Engineering) ex DM 509/1999 with a final degree score of at least 105/110. The same criteria apply also to 2nd cycle graduates in Italy under ex 270/2004 or ex DM 509/99 and gradates from five-year single cycle degree programmes in Italy:

Requirement 3:
university degree obtained abroad and deemed appropriate by the Degree Programme Board. Suitability is established according to the aforementioned criteria where it is possible to convert the degree score to the Italian system, and where the subject areas and number of credits obtained in each sector are easily identifiable. If conversion and/or identification are not possible, the students' career will be assessed by the Degree Programme Board.
Admission to students who do not meet the requirements indicated in points 1, 2 and 3 is subject to the assessment of the Degree Programme Board based on the students' academic career (obtained credits, scores, final degree scores).
2. Requirements concerning personal competencies and skills
Personal competencies and skills are deemed acceptable for graduates who satisfy at least one of the following requirements:
1) final degree score of at least 88/110 (or 80/100);
2) minimum number of credits obtained in specific subjects, as shown below:
subject: ICAR/01, ICAR/02; ICAR/03; ICAR/06, ICAR/07; ICAR/08, ICAR/09
At least 15 CFU.
subject: ING-IND/22; ING-IND/24; ING-IND/25; ING-IND/27; ING-IND/28, ING-IND/29; ING-IND/30; ING-IND/35:
At least 15 CFU
subject: MAT/03, MAT/05, MAT/07:
At least 15 CFU
subject: FIS/01
At least 9 CFU
Admission to the 2nd cycle degree in Environmental Engineering for students who do not meet the requirements indicated in points 1 and 2 is subject to the specific assessment by the Degree Programme Board of the students' academic career.
A special Admissions session may be held for international students, with a Board appointed to assess the candidates' personal competencies and skills; this session will be compatible with the schedule established in the call for applications for study grants (which indicatively expires in May). International students who pass the above-mentioned assessment are exempted from the following assessment of their personal competencies and skills required for students generally.
3. Language requirements
Students registering for the international curriculum in Earth Resources Engineering must produce a certificate
demonstrating their English language skills to a suitable level to be able to communicate appropriately with the teaching staff for both learning activities and assessment of the acquired competences. English language proficiency should therefore be certified to at least level B2. If this skill is not certified in the student's career, the language skills will be assessed by the Degree Programme Board. Students are in any case not permitted to enrol in the second year of the international curriculum without certification of their English language skills to at least B2, issued by the University Linguistic Centre or equivalent certifying body.
