University of Turin
Business Administration is a two-year, 120 ECTS master's degree (class LM-77-R) taught in English by the University of Turin's Department of Management in Turin, with curricula in Finance and Accounting or Business Management and International Marketing. Places are limited and there is an admission test. Fees combine a country-based contribution with this degree's additional contribution.
Entry requirements
Detailed entry requirements
Business Administration has restricted access and different selection routes for applicants in Italy/EU-equivalent categories and non-EU applicants abroad. The current departmental 2026/27 rules and central procedures were reviewed on 6 October 2026. [1-8]
A first degree and a restricted-access selection
This is the two-year Business Administration master’s degree with capped places. It requires a first-cycle degree earned after at least three years of university education, or a recognised suitable foreign equivalent. The admission method depends on the university’s applicant category. The separate Business Administration bachelor’s entry and its TOLC-E rules are not the requirements for this master’s programme. [1, 2, 6]
The university distinguishes category 990, comprising Italian applicants, EU/equivalent applicants wherever resident and non-EU applicants legally resident in Italy, from category 989 non-EU applicants residing abroad and category 988 Chinese Marco Polo applicants. We follow the applicable category’s academic, application, ranking and enrolment instructions. A successful initial foreign-qualification check is not the same as obtaining a place in the relevant ranking. [1]
Category 990: the English admission test or permitted GMAT/GRE route
The 2026/27 departmental page provides an English admission test in person at the School of Management and Economics, Corso Unione Sovietica 218 bis, Turin. It consists of 30 multiple-choice subject questions, each with four answers and one correct answer, in 40 minutes. We prepare you with the programme’s English test syllabus. Candidates may alternatively submit a GMAT/GRE certificate under the formal call’s instructions; this is a permitted alternative route, rather than an additional certificate universally required of every test-taker. [1]
We register you in MyUniTo under Enrolment → Pre-enrolment to courses with a restricted number of places, complete the application, attach the GMAT/GRE certificate if you use that route, and keep the application/pre-registration number. The formal regulation determines eligibility, accepted certificate conditions, score calculation and minimum thresholds. The readable summary does not supply all of these numerical rules. [1, 8]
The first category-990 session had 60 places, described as 80% of the category’s allocation; the second had 15, described as 20%. Additional places may be reallocated from vacant allocations/earlier rounds under the rules. These session figures are not a universal worldwide programme quota. Meeting a threshold can still leave a candidate outside the admitted ranking. [1]
Categories 989/988: foreign curriculum and academic-file evaluation
For non-EU applicants residing abroad, the department requires a foreign-qualification application through Apply@UniTo submitted by 29 January 2026 for the 2026/27 selection. Non-EU applicants abroad who hold an Italian first-level university degree are directed to the department’s international-degree office rather than submitting a foreign-qualification Apply application. We follow that published qualification-specific route. [1]
The departmental 2026/27 summary considers the curricular requirement fulfilled where the applicant holds, or is completing, a bachelor’s/foreign first-cycle degree in Business Administration or Economics from a university in the top 100 of the Shanghai Management subject ranking identified in the call, and/or an institution in the top 12.5% of RePEc’s economics-department ranking. Alternatively, the summary accepts a GMAT/GRE certification obtained from 2018 onward as the curricular route. An unrelated general ranking or an applicant’s informal assessment of institutional reputation is not the stated criterion. [1]
Adequate personal preparation is separately verified by evaluating the prior academic career and the qualifications submitted with the application. Meeting the curricular route alone does not secure admission. The international category therefore does not require every applicant to travel to Turin for the category-990 written test. We work to the applicable formal regulation and committee decision, including any specific certificate scoring/validity requirements. [1, 8]
English evidence and the portal’s update limitation
The international portal lists English at least B2 and names Cambridge qualifications, IELTS, TOEFL and GMAT/GRE evidence in its language guidance. However, that same 2026/27 listing still says the year’s admission requirements have yet to be published. The departmental page now provides the 2026/27 category-specific rules and takes precedence for the procedure. We confirm accepted English evidence, certificate validity and score allocation against the formal current regulation and your category checklist; the portal’s older numeric examples are not newly verified 2026/27 cutoffs. [1, 2, 8]
The category-990 written test is conducted in English. The international file must satisfy the appropriate language evidence as well as curricular and preparation assessment. A GMAT/GRE certificate’s role in curriculum/evaluation is not necessarily identical to its role as English evidence; the call determines each use. [1, 2, 8]
2026/27 category-990 dates, rankings and enrolment
First-session registration ran from 18 February 2026 at 15:00 to 16 March 2026 at 15:00, with the test on 2 April. Admitted first-session applicants enrolled from 28 July at 09:30 to 30 July 2026 at 15:00, provided the qualifying degree was obtained by 24 July. A candidate who did not take up a first-session place had to re-enter the second selection through the test or permitted certificate route. [1, 7]
Second-session registration ran from 13 July 2026 at 15:00 to 7 August 2026 at 15:00, with the test on 10 September. Final rankings are scheduled by 23 October at 09:30, and admitted applicants enrol from 27 October at 09:30 to 29 October 2026 at 15:00 with the qualifying degree already obtained. Thus the October enrolment window is for successful existing applicants, rather than a new application/test registration opportunity. [1, 7]
The department lists second-session repechage enrolment periods on 2 to 3 November, 5 to 6 November, 10 to 11 November and 13 to 16 November 2026. We monitor your MyUniTo status and the call’s deadline: eligible-but-not-admitted applicants wait for a released place, while rejected applicants are excluded under the minimum-score rules. The general open-access master’s January deadline does not replace these restricted-access deadlines. [1]
2026/27 categories-989/988 subsequent steps
Eligible international applicants were instructed to obtain UniTo credentials by 17 April 2026 and select the master’s restricted-access pre-enrolment in MyUniTo. The department’s final-ranking instructions set first enrolment for 8 to 12 June 2026. Subsequent repechage periods were 16 to 19 June, 23 to 26 June, 30 June to 3 July, 7 to 10 July and 14 to 17 July. These dates concern the existing international ranking and do not reopen the January application. We follow the department’s individual International Students Office instructions. [1]
The central 2026/27 Universitaly deadline for this master’s visa category was 15 July 2026. Admission, ranking, university enrolment and the consular visa decision are separate steps. No confirmed 2027/28 application calendar is provided in the reviewed Business Administration sources. [1, 4]
Qualification documents and final international clearance
The file needs the qualifying degree and complete transcript showing examinations, grades and credits/hours, CV, motivation letter and programme-specific certificate/ranking evidence. Central foreign-qualification rules assess first-cycle level, at least 15 total years of education, recognition/accreditation, academic rights and authenticity. Intermediate qualifications are included where required; a higher degree alone does not replace the qualifying first-cycle award. [2, 3]
The file also needs the applicable identity/passport and residence records. Central documents are accepted in English, Italian, French or Spanish; otherwise originals and certified translations are required. Pending graduates need official last-year and completed-semester records, then the final award by the category’s actual enrolment deadline. Degree/transcript authenticity requires an accepted verification method; comparability, translation and authenticity are separate checks. [3]
International students with foreign qualifications receive payment instructions after the International Students Office checks the request. Non-EU applicants abroad need the correct academic-year study visa, residence-permit application receipt, official Italian fiscal code and complete authenticated study file for final payment/enrolment. The central open-access documentation extension does not create a new ranked place or replace Business Administration’s category-specific dates. [1, 5]

About the programme
Business Administration is a two-year master's degree in class LM-77-R, economics and business sciences. It is worth 120 ECTS, taught in English and run in Turin by the Valter Cantino Department of Management of the University of Turin. Access is restricted, with category-specific academic assessment and the written-test or permitted certificate route. The detailed entry requirements identify each category’s procedure. [1]
The first year gives every student a shared grounding in corporate finance, international accounting standards, law and taxation, macroeconomics, quantitative methods, marketing and organisation. In the second year you specialise in one of two curricula: Finance and Accounting, or Business Management and International Marketing. The degree suits graduates in business or economics who want an advanced, internationally oriented management qualification.
What you will study
The first year is common to all students. The Finance and Accounting curriculum then adds insurance and financial risk management, with electives such as derivatives, mergers and acquisitions or business planning. The Business Management and International Marketing curriculum adds innovation management and business strategy, with electives such as brand management, digital transformation, entrepreneurship or international management. Units in the study plan include:
- Advanced Corporate Finance and Capital Markets (10 ECTS)
- International GAAP and Financial Statement Analysis (10 ECTS)
- International Law and Taxation (10 ECTS)
- Interpreting the Macroeconomic Scenario (12 ECTS)
- Quantitative Methods for Decision Making (10 ECTS)
- Business Organisation and Behaviour
- Insurance and Financial Risk Management (Finance and Accounting)
- Innovation Management and Business Strategy (Business Management and International Marketing)
How the programme is taught
The second year puts real weight on practice: both curricula include an internship worth 18 ECTS, followed by a final examination worth 12 ECTS. Electives are chosen from a list tied to your curriculum, and corporate sustainability is offered in both.
Career paths
The university's English course page does not publish a list of professional profiles for this degree. The two curricula point to different areas of work. Finance and Accounting covers financial reporting, corporate finance, capital markets, risk management and deals such as mergers and acquisitions. Business Management and International Marketing covers strategy, innovation, brand and international management and digital transformation.
The 18 ECTS internship adds work experience before graduation, and the university's Career Development service supports students and graduates looking for work.
Fees and scholarships
Like the Business & Management bachelor, this degree carries an additional contribution set by economic situation, on top of the standard contribution for residents abroad. An EDISU Piemonte scholarship refunds standard fees but not the additional contribution.
How to apply from outside the EU
Business Administration uses restricted access with category-specific selection. Non-EU applicants abroad with a foreign qualification follow the departmental Apply@UniTo and academic-file assessment route; category 990 uses the English test or permitted GMAT/GRE alternative. The detailed requirements explain each category and its ranked enrolment deadlines. [1, 3-5]

Questions and answers
Does every applicant take the Turin written test?
No. Category 990 uses the English test or permitted GMAT/GRE alternative. Categories 989/988 have the departmental foreign-curriculum and academic-file evaluation route. We confirm which category applies to your file. [1]
How many questions are in the written test?
Thirty subject questions with four possible answers and one correct answer each, in 40 minutes. The category-990 test is held in person and in English. [1]
Can I submit GMAT or GRE instead?
The department permits GMAT/GRE under the call’s instructions. For categories 989/988, its summary identifies certification obtained from 2018 onward as an alternative curricular route. Accepted score, validity and evaluation conditions follow the formal regulation. [1, 8]
Are university rankings part of foreign admission?
For categories 989/988, the summary identifies specified Business Administration/Economics degrees from the top-100 Shanghai Management subject ranking and/or top-12.5% RePEc economics-department institutions, or its GMAT/GRE alternative. Preparation is assessed separately. [1]
I have a B.Com or BBA from India. Can I apply?
Only if it meets the curricular rule for non-EU applicants abroad: a Business Administration or Economics degree from an institution in the listed Shanghai or RePEc rankings, or a GMAT/GRE from 2018 onward. You also need at least 15 years of total education. We check your degree against these rules. [1, 3]
When is the deadline for non-EU students?
For 2026/27, non-EU applicants abroad had to submit the Apply@UniTo foreign-qualification application by 29 January 2026, and the Universitaly deadline was 15 July 2026. No 2027/28 calendar has been published yet. [1, 4]
Can I newly apply during October enrolment?
No. The 27 to 29 October 2026 window is for admitted second-session category-990 applicants; their test registration closed on 7 August. It does not reopen international applications, which closed in January. [1, 7]
Are the portal’s English scores fully updated?
The portal lists B2 guidance but retains a warning that 2026/27 admission requirements await publication. We work from the current department procedure and formal regulation for accepted evidence, certificate conditions and scoring. [1, 2, 8]
Can someone handle my whole application to Business Administration at Turin?
Yes. ApplyAZ, an Italy-based consultancy that works only with public universities, checks your transcript against Turin's rules for this programme, handles the application and Universitaly pre-enrolment, helps you file the EDISU Piemonte scholarship application at the right time and in the right format, and prepares your visa file, for eligible students. Start by checking your eligibility.
I'm applying from India. What is the route into Business Administration?
Indian applicants abroad fall in category 989. You need a first-cycle degree of at least three years [1], with at least 15 years of total education [2, 3]. The curricular rule is a Business Administration or Economics degree from a listed top-ranked institution, or a GMAT/GRE from 2018 onward [1]. English B2 is required [2]. Your academic file is then assessed and ranked [1]. We prepare the Apply@UniTo file and Universitaly. Indian students apply for the type D study visa at the Italian embassy or consulate that covers their state, such as New Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru.
Is the route different from Pakistan, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka?
No. The academic rules for Business Administration are the same whatever your nationality. Applicants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka follow the same steps as India: an Apply@UniTo application, the academic-file assessment and ranking, and Universitaly pre-enrolment, then a type D study visa from the Italian mission for their country of residence. Read our guide for students in Dhaka.
I live in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman or Bahrain. Where do I apply for the visa?
At the Italian embassy or consulate responsible for the country where you legally live, after Universitaly pre-enrolment. The academic rules for Business Administration are the same whatever your nationality, and Gulf residents follow the same steps: an Apply@UniTo application, the academic-file assessment and ranking, and Universitaly pre-enrolment. Read our guides for Dubai, Riyadh and Doha.
I studied or live in London, New York, Toronto, Vancouver, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. What is the route?
The academic rules for Business Administration are the same whatever your nationality, and your degree is assessed like any other foreign qualification. Non-EU applicants who live abroad follow the same route: an Apply@UniTo application, the academic-file assessment and ranking, and Universitaly pre-enrolment, then a type D study visa from the Italian mission for where they live. Read our guides for students in London, New York, Toronto, Vancouver, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
