    1) Entry requirements:

    Admission to the master's degree programme in Data Science (LM Data) is subject to the possession of specific curricular requirements and to the adequacy of personal preparation verified by an Evaluation Committee in accordance with the procedures defined in the degree programme's Didactic Regulation (A.Y. 2024/2025).
    To be admitted to the Master's degree programme it is necessary to hold a Bachelor’s degree (or three-year university diploma) or a degree awarded abroad and recognised as suitable.
    The possession of at least 30 total CFUs (i.e. ECTS) in the following academic disciplines (i.e. Settori ScientificoDisciplinari or SSD) is required:
    INF/01 (Computer Science - Informatics);
    ING-INF/05 (Information processing systems);
    SECS-S/01 to SECS-S/06 (Statistics, Statistics for Experimental and Technological Research, Economic Statistics, Demography, Social Statistics, Mathematical Methods of Economy, Finance and Actuarial Sciences);
    MAT/01 to MAT/09 MAT/09 (Mathematical Logic, Algebra, Geometry, Complementary Mathematics, Mathematical Analysis, Probability and Mathematical Statistics, Mathematical Physics, Numerical Analysis, Operational Research);
    FIS/01 to FIS/08 (Experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics, Mathematical Models and Methods, Physics of Matter, Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics of the Earth and of the Circumterrestrial Medium, Applied Physics);

    An English language level of B2 or higher is also required for admission to enable understanding and participation in the training activities.


    2) Assessment of adequacy of personal preparation:

    Once the curricular requirements have been verified, admission to the course is conditional on an assessment of background knowledge.
