Master in Business Administration, Economics and Finance at University of L’Aquila

Detailed entry requirements

Business Administration, Economics and Finance admission depends on the prior qualification, the subject preparation specified below and the applicable language/enrolment route. The programme rules are verified against the official 2026/27 regulation. Eligibility assessment and final enrolment are separate stages.

Degree and 90-CFU alternative-background guideline

• The 2026/27 LM-77 regulation requires a university degree, or a suitable recognised foreign qualification, in L-18 Business Administration or another class with adequate credits in the listed L-18 subject sectors.
• For a degree outside L-18, the regulation gives an indicative criterion of at least 90 CFU in the prescribed subject table, with at least 18 CFU in at least three of its four areas. The business-area 18 CFU are explicitly compulsory.
• The four areas are business, economics, law and statistics/mathematics. Business subjects include the specified accounting, management, corporate finance, organisation, financial-intermediary economics, commodity studies and agricultural economics fields. Economics includes the listed political/public/applied economics, econometrics and economic-history sectors.
• Law includes the specified private, commercial, economic, maritime, labour, public, administrative, tax, international and EU-law sectors. The quantitative area includes the listed operations-research, statistics, economic-statistics, demographic and mathematical-methods fields. Exact disciplinary mapping is assessed by the university rather than inferred from a broad degree title.

Administrative check and preparation interview

• The student registry checks full compliance and can proceed directly with enrolment when the listed requirements are fully met. Where the curriculum does not fully correspond, it forwards the dossier to the CAD.
• The CAD may decide adequacy itself or appoint a commission, which can interview the applicant. The 90-CFU criterion is described as indicative in the regulation; an applicant should obtain the council’s assessment rather than treat it as an unconditional offer or automatic rejection rule.

Teaching language and separate Twente double-degree route

• The current official course listing identifies Italian and English. The main degree must not be described as an entirely English programme for every student. The department separately describes an English double-degree route with the University of Twente.
• The double-degree webpage limits participation to qualifying first-year students in the Management curriculum and uses a separate annual selection. Before definitive access to the partner route, selected students must have at least 30 CFU at L’Aquila, including B2 English eligibility.
• The page describes 15 annual double-degree places, but its attached call is labelled 2024/25 and parts of the page remain historical. Use the applicable new annual call to confirm current places, ranking and mobility dates. Admission to the main LM-77 degree does not automatically admit the student to Twente.

Foreign qualifications and final enrolment documents

• A foreign qualification must be recognised as suitable for second-cycle study. Prepare the final bachelor’s certificate, official transcript in English or Italian, and the qualification-recognition evidence applicable to your case: CIMEA comparability/verification statements, a Declaration of Value, or an accepted English Diploma Supplement.
• The university permits its documented direct-verification procedure in qualifying cases. This needs confirmation in the acceptance letter and communication to the student registry; an applicant cannot simply declare that recognition evidence is unnecessary.
• Applicants who require an Italian study visa also complete Universitaly pre-enrolment. The university’s checklist includes passport photograph, passport, motivation letter, CV, transcript, degree or permitted temporary certificate, and B2 evidence in the teaching language. The academic offer and visa decision are separate steps.
• Match language evidence to the selected curriculum. The international enrolment webpage contains some older dates alongside its 2026 application information, so an older enrolment deadline should not be used as a newly confirmed 2026/27 deadline. Follow the applicable annual notice and registry instructions.
