Access requirements

The student must preliminarily request the enrollment clearance (nulla osta). A Commission, appointed by the President of the Courses of Studies in Industrial Engineering, reviews the request, both for verification of curricular requirements and personal preparation requirements.

For access to the course possession of level B2 for the English language is required, which can be demonstrated by means of a suitable certificate issued by the University Language Center CLA) or at other internationally accredited institutions.

 

Students must all enroll in the Smart Industry curriculum because access to the International curriculum requires participation in a selection process that takes place in February/March of the first year 

 

Curricular requirements

Curricular requirements for admission to the course consist of possession of a bachelor's degree in class L8 or L9 (or other degree acquired abroad and recognized as eligible) and the presence in the career of at least 155 ECTSs with a grade. The minimum number of ECTSs earned in the learning areas most specific to the training of the management engineer is listed below.

 

a) Mathematics for management engineering (SECS-S/01, SECS-S/03, MAT/06, MAT/09, ING-INF/04): minimum 15 ECTSs

b) Economics and business management (ING-IND/35, SECS-P/08, SECS-P/09): minimum 6 ECTS

c) Industrial plant management and production technologies (ING-IND/16, ING-IND/17): minimum 6 ECTS

(b) + (c): minimum 18 ECTSs

d) Energy engineering and energy management (ING-IND/10, ING-IND/11, ING-IND/09, ING-IND/08, ING-IND/32, ING-IND/31): minimum 6 ECTS.

 

Graduates who do not meet the above requirements for a difference of less than 30 CFUs, or who have done internship and apprenticeship activities that do not allow meeting the limit related to 155 ECTS with graduation grade, will be evaluated by a special committee that will identify compensatory examinations useful to make up for the existing deficiencies that the student must overcome to enroll.

 

Personal preparation requirements

The adequacy of personal preparation is verified by a special Commission through a written and/or oral test.

For EU citizens and, in any case, for those who have obtained the degree required for access to the master's degree in an institution based in the countries of the European Union (in addition to Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Republic of San Marino, Vatican City, Great Britain), the adequacy of personal preparation is verified by means of a written and/or oral test with the mentioned Commission.

Graduates in engineering management from the University of Florence with a career length of no more than 4 academic years and a weighted average greater than or equal to 23, or graduates with a career length of no more than 6 academic years but a weighted average greater than or equal to 25, are exempt from the interview test. In assessing career length, any academic years attended by the graduate as a part-time student shall be taken into account.

For those who have obtained the degree required for access to the master's degree at an institution that is not located in the countries of the European Union (or in Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Republic of San Marino, Vatican City, Great Britain), preparation will be evaluated on the basis of the weighted average of examination grades, which must be above a threshold value. These values will be published annually at https://www.ing-mme.unifi.it/vp-160-enrollment.html.
