Additional admission requirements for students applying to the *double-degree programme*:
- English Language Proficiency Requirement: Students whose primary language is not English must submit official TOEFL or IELTS scores that are not more than two years old. If submitting the TOEFL: a minimum score of 550 (paper-based) or overall score of 80 on the Internet Based Test (IBT) with at least 20 on speaking and 20 on writing. If submitting the IELTS: a minimum overall band-width of 6.5, with no single band (score) below 6.0. Students who have received degrees from institutions in countries where English is the primary language usually are not required to submit the TOEFL (or IELTS) scores unless the degree was received more than two years prior to application to the Graduate School.
- Entrance Test Score GRE: Scores on the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the General Test of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required (minimum score 300). The general test of the GRE is offered year-round as a computer-based test at centers worldwide. Advance registration for tests is required.
Tuition fees are the same for all students, regardless of their nationality: up to 2,600 euros/year.
They are divided in 3 installments: the first one is 188 euros and it corresponds to the admission fee (i.e. the fee required to accept your place at the University).
The other two installments are due only if the student has not been awarded neither a scholarship nor a fee-waiver. Even in this case, the amount of the second and third installments can be significantly waived according to the student's financial situation (assessed through a specific document called "ISEE"). The basic concept is: the less you have, the less you pay.
