Enrollment

For admission to the Master Degree Program in Mechanical Engineering for Sustainability a student has to comply with both curricular and personal preparation requirements. The compliance with aforementioned requirements will be verified by a Commission appointed by the Council of Industrial Engineering Degrees (i.e. Consiglio Unico dei Corsi di Studio di Area Industriale), which will release a clearance for the enrollment.

To satisfy the curricular requirements the student must hold a Bachelor Degree in one of the following Italian Bachelor Classes (or an equivalent degree awarded abroad):

• Civil and Environmental Engineering (L-7 Class)
• Information Engineering (L-8 Class)
• Industrial Engineering (L-9 Class)

For the verification of personal preparation requirements the Commission will call you up for an interview. The interview will cover subjects related to mechanical design, applied mechanics, industrial design, machines, and energy systems. The list of Commission meetings and the deadlines for filing the clearance request can be found in the Scheduling & Calendar section of this website.

You may be exempted from the interview if you hold a degree in Class L-9 (or another degree acquired abroad and recognized as equivalent) obtained with a minimum graduation mark of 102/110, if graduating within the bachelor course duration, or 105/110, if graduating one year beyond the bachelor course duration. In case of Bachelor Degrees awarded abroad, an equivalence of the marks will be applied.

Applicants must also hold at least a B2 certification for English language in reading and listening, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Certification must have been awarded no later than 5 years prior to the enrollment date by the Language Centre of the University of Florence (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo - CLA) or by other internationally recognized organizations. The certificate is not required in case of previous academic degree in English language, or in case the applicant is a native English speaker.

At the official Language center of the University of Florence (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo - CLA), the applicant can test knowledge in English Language and acquire the requested certificate. To have access to B2 level English laboratories and/or test sessions, the applicant has to present the official document issued by the Council of Industrial Engineering Degrees stating the need to acquire a B2 level of English language for the enrollment.
