Artificial Intelligence for Science and Technology

Bachelor diploma (or higher)

Open access with entry requirements.

Basic knowledge of Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics and Physics is required. The following is therefore required possession of a total of at least 30 CFUs in the following academic disciplines: INF/01, ING-INF/05, ING-INF/03, MAT/01 to MAT/09, SECS-S/01 to SECS-S/06, FIS/01 to FIS/08.

The interview will focus on ascertaining basic knowledge in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics and Physics. In particular, basic knowledge of the following subjects will be tested:

• Computer Science: Programming, Algorithms, Data Structures, Artificial Intelligence;
• Mathematics: Linear Algebra, Differential and Integral Calculus in one or more variables, Series, Numerical Series;
• Statistics: Descriptive Statistics, Probability, Random Variables, Inference, Linear Model;
• Physics: elements of Statics, Dynamics, Energy, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism and Optics.

I. Candidates meeting the curricular requirements (at least 30 CFUs in total in the following fields scientific disciplines INF/01, ING-INF/05, ING-INF/03, MAT/01 to MAT/09, SECS-S/01 to SECS-S/06, FIS/01 to FIS/08) are exempt from the interview if:

• Hold a bachelor’s degree with a mark of 100/110 or higher, or with a average cumulative/comprehensive equal to or above 3.55 (on the scale of 0 to 4);

OR:

• Hold a master’s degree in one of the following classes: LM-17, LM-18, LM-21, LM-25, LM-27, LM-32, LM-35, LM-40, LM-44, LM-66, LM-82, LM-91, or a master’s degree earned abroad and recognized as eligible by the Commission.

II. Students who meet all of the following four conditions are also exempt from the interview:

1. Hold a bachelor’s degree awarded with a mark of 95/110 or higher and less than 100/110, or with a cumulative/comprehensive average of 3.32 or higher (on the 0 to 4 scale) and lower than 3.55 (on the 0 to 4 scale);
2. The CFUs in Computer Science (CFU/equivalent hours) obtained in the previous university career are at least 20 (INF/01 and/or ING-INF/05);
3. The CFUs in Mathematics (CFU/equivalent hours) obtained in the previous university career are at least 15 (MAT/01, MAT/02, MAT/03, MAT/04, MAT/05, MAT/07, MAT/08, MAT/09);
4. The CFUs in Statistics and Probability (CFU/equivalent hours) obtained in the previous university career are at least 5 (SECS-S/01 to SECS-S/06 or MAT/06).

If the knowledge relating to one of the previous conditions 2, 3 and 4 for exemption from interview was acquired, as part of a teaching activity classified in an academic discipline (i.e. settori scientifico-disciplinari or SSD) other than those indicated, it is necessary to attach the syllabus of that teaching to enable it to be assessed.

III. Students who meet the curricular requirements (at least 30 CFU in total in the following academic disciplines: INF/01, ING-INF/05, ING-INF/03, MAT/01 to MAT/09, SECS-S/01 to SECS-S/06, FIS/01 to FIS/08) but don’t fall under the cases of exemption from the interview are admitted to interview if they meet all 4 of the following conditions:

1. Hold a bachelor’s degree awarded with a mark of 85/110 or higher, or with a cumulative/overall average equal to or greater than 3.2 (on the 0 to 4 scale);
2. The CFUs in Computer Science (CFU/equivalent hours) obtained in the previous university career are at least 6 (INF/01, ING-INF/05);
3. The CFUs in Mathematics (CFU/equivalent hours) obtained in the previous university career are at least 6 (MAT/01, MAT/02, MAT/03, MAT/04, MAT/05, MAT/07, MAT/08, MAT/09);
4. The CFUs in Statistics and Probability (CFU/equivalent hours) obtained in the previous university career are at least 4 (SECS-S/01 to SECS-S/06 or MAT/06).

If the knowledge relating to one of the previous conditions 2, 3 and 4 for exemption from interview was acquired, as part of a teaching activity classified in an academic discipline (i.e. settori scientifico-disciplinari or SSD) other than those indicated, it is necessary to attach the syllabus of that teaching to enable it to be assessed.

IV. For graduand candidates, will be taken into account those teaching activities that have been successfully passed as reported in the documentation submitted and will be considered the average of the grades obtained, weighted with the respective CFUs.

V. Students who do not fall into one of the above cases will not be admitted to the Master’s degree course.

The interviews will be held remotely.

The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / Italian.

Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original.

You must take the original entry qualification documents along with you when you finally go to the university.
