The following are also considered admission requirements:

► Exemptions

You meet the above requirements and may therefore proceed directly to the assessment of the adequacy of your personal preparation, unless exempted, if you hold a Bachelor’s degree with a standard study plan in Maritime, Logistics and Transport Economics and Business (CLEAMLT), degree class L-18, or in Maritime Science and Technology, degree class L-28, Deck Officer curriculum, from the University of Genoa.

You may therefore move on to step 2 to complete the registration and pre-enrolment procedure.

In all other cases you must apply for verification of curricular requirements as explained below.

► How to submit your application 

If you hold an Italian degree, you must request an assessment of whether you meet the curricular requirements by completing the application form and sending it to valutazionedeirequisiti@economia.unige.it.

Please note that you may also apply for the assessment of curricular requirements if you are about to graduate and only have the final degree examination pending.

► Verification outcomes

Once you have received the outcome of the verification of your curricular requirements, normally sent by email within one month of receipt of your application, please proceed to step 2 to complete your registration and pre-enrolment.

► Identification of curricular requirements in the case of a foreign qualification

If your foreign degree does not allow the curricular requirements listed above to be assessed directly, your previous studies and acquired skills will be evaluated to determine whether they are consistent with the learning objectives of EMMP. This assessment may also include individual interviews with the Coordinator or a delegate.

Where deemed necessary, you may be required to enrol in individual training activities.

Recovery of missing requirements

Following the result of the verification you can acquire the missing CFU through the so-called "carriera ponte". See the web page Enrolling in individual training activities, particularly the section Enrolment in individual educational activities aimed at admission to Master's degree courses (so-called "bridging career").

We recommend that you contact the professor responsible for the individual training activities and, for any questions of a more general nature, the Coordinator by e.mail at coordinatore.emmp@unige.it.
