Part 3 – Relevant Individual Exams

Please list those individual exams in your degree program(s) that you judge to be the most relevant in qualifying you to join our Master program, for a minimum total of 36 credits (ECTS or equivalent). Give priority to exams inpolitics, history or law. Exams in sociology, demography, and economics (not including business studies) will also be considered relevant. (See “Minimal Entry Requirements” in the “How to Apply” web page).

The purpose of this list is primarily to ascertain that you meet the minimum formal entry requirement of 36 credits (ECTS or equivalent) in the above disciplines. It is not necessary to add exams that take the total beyond 36.

If your University uses the European credit system (ECTS, called “CFU” in Italy), fill in columns A and B. If your University uses an alternative system, fill in columns A and C. In estimating equivalences, bear in mind that 60 ECTS correspond officially to one year’s full-time study. Thus, if you take 10 exams in one year of full-time study, on average each exam is probably worth 6 ECTS; if you take 5, on average each is probably worth 12 ECTS; and so on.

Italian applicants should in addition fill in column D.
