Application for admission

30/5/2023 - 12:00 to 22/11/2023 - 23:59

To enroll in the Master's degree program in Mathematics, you must submit the online "Evaluation for admission to Master of Science in Mathematics - a.y. 2023/2024," even if you are a student or graduate in a UniTrento degree program.

You can submit the application even if you have not yet obtained the degree, provided you graduate by December 31, 2023.

If you want to apply for admission to more than one curriculum, you must complete an application for each curriculum.

You may apply for admission and apply for the personal background evaluation only once a year, unless otherwise decided by the Admissions Committee.

Go to: Evaluation for admission to Master of Science in Mathematics - a.y. 2023/2024

Written exam

The written exam covers fundamentals of Analysis, Linear Algebra (document "Syllabus for every Curriculum") and other subjects according to the chosen Track (document "Syllabi for the various Curricula").

Passing the written exam is a compulsory requirement for taking the interview and being admitted to the Master’s Degree.

You do not have to take the written exam if:

  • you have or are pursuing a degree in the L-35 class and at the time of application you have a weighted average higher than 24/30 (for this purpose 30 cum laude counts as 31)
  • you have already applied for admission in previous years and have agreed on a specific course of study with the Commission.

 

Interview

The Admission Committee may require you to be interviewed to assess your personal preparation, even if you are waived from the written exam. The Committee may also offer you an orientation interview.

For the Cryptography curriculum, the interview is always scheduled.

Date, time and interview arrangements will be communicated by the Secretary of the Department after the written exam has been evaluated (or, if you do not have to take it, after the deadline for applications for that session).

If you do not receive any communication, it means that you do not have to take the interview and can wait for the final evaluation outcome.

 

Evaluation outcome

The final evaluation outcome may be:

  • unconditional admission to one or more tracks
  • admission to a specific track, with an individual study plan agreed with the Commission, based on your initial preparation and specific interests
  • non admission.

If you cannot be admitted due to lack of curricular requirements, the Commission may indicate a course of study to acquire them, for example by enrolling in single courses for Master's Degrees.

The Commission may give you the opportunity to apply for the evaluation of admission requirements for a.y. 2023/24 a second time. 

Once you have all curricular requirements and the Bachelor’s degree, notify the Student Support office by email: you will receive the enrollment’s instructions.

If you do not meet the language requirement

If you do not meet the language requirement, you can take an English proficiency test at the Language Centre (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo - CLA).
