  • You can apply for admission if the academic qualification you obtained abroad is comparable in duration and content to the Italian academic qualification required for access to the Programs. Enrolment, however, remains subject to the validation of the qualification, for admission purposes only, by the Master’s Management Board, as well as passing the selection evaluation. Please visit this page for further information.
  • If your current academic qualification does not meet the requirements, i.e. if you hold a Bachelor’s degree, do not worry, you can still come to study in Pavia by enrolling in the ROSE Graduate Program. Through this program, you will take several courses that are also part of the second-level ROSE Master’s. If you later decide to enrol in the ROSE Master’s as well, those courses will be recognised.
  • Pavia is a university city with many apartments and rooms available for rent. Check this page for more information.
