Master in Electronic Engineering for Industry at University of Messina

Detailed entry requirements

Messina’s Electronic Engineering for Industry is an open-access LM-29 master. The official programme guidance lists Italian and English, with mandatory English-taught units, rather than a fully English course. The latest regulation currently linked by the programme is the 2025/26 version issued on 24 July 2025. Reviewed 6 October 2026. [1][2][3]

First qualification and direct curricular route

Applicants require a three-year university degree or diploma, or a suitable recognised foreign qualification. Italian L-8 Information Engineering or predecessor class 9 degrees satisfy the direct curricular route. Direct curricular recognition does not remove the language and preparation conditions in the regulation. [1][2]

Credit framework for other qualifications

Other degree classes and suitable foreign qualifications must show at least 36 CFU in the regulation’s listed basic sectors, at least 9 in electronics, and another 36 in the listed information/electrical-engineering sectors. These are three separate groups with a total of at least 81 CFU, subject to the university’s content-equivalence review. [1]

The first group includes algebra, geometry, mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, the specified fundamental/matter physics sectors, chemistry for technology and computing. The current codes include MATH-02/A, 02/B, 03/A and 04/A; PHYS-01/A, 03/A and 04/A; CHEM-06/A; and INFO-01/A. The dedicated 9-CFU group is IINF-01/A Electronics. [1]

The third group covers IINF-02/A Electromagnetic Fields, IINF-03/A Telecommunications, IINF-04/A Automatic Control, IINF-05/A Computer Systems, IBIO-01/A Bioengineering, IMIS-01/B Electrical/Electronic Measurement, IIET-01/A Electrical Engineering and IIND-08/A Electrical Converters/Machines/Drives. Provide transcript and subject descriptions for the committee to evaluate foreign content. [1]

Preparation review and 85/110 condition

A programme commission checks personal preparation before enrolment once curricular requirements are established. The check is considered passed with a bachelor’s mark at least 85/110 and B1 English evidenced by university examinations/proficiency assessments or recognised European/international documentation. Both conditions apply. [1]

The regulation does not state that every mark below 85/110 leads to automatic rejection. If preparation deficiencies are identified, the Council can prescribe an integrated pathway within the master’s standard 120 CFU, without extra activities beyond that total. This provision concerns personal-preparation deficiencies, not a blanket waiver of required entry credits. [1]

Programme English B1 and teaching language

English B1 is the course admission requirement. The programme guidance describes at least 18 CFU of mandatory units taught in English and a 3-CFU language activity intended to bring students to B2 before those units. The official teaching and assessment languages are Italian and English. [1][2]

A student needing a fully English pathway should not assume this mixed-language course meets that need. Non-EU visa applicants for the Italian-taught route follow UniME’s Italian B2 certification or ITA-Test procedure unless exempt. Accepted Italian certificates include the listed PLIDA, CILS, CELI, Certit and Cecol formats at B2 or higher; the current page says CISIA ITA-L2 certificates are no longer accepted. [2][4]

International qualification and document review

The central master’s pre-assessment checklist requests the school qualification, bachelor’s award or accepted official provisional certificate, prior-degree transcript, passport with at least 18 months’ validity remaining and applicable language evidence. It requires at least 15 years of education overall. Translated documents must be accompanied by their original-language counterparts. Use the Italian-course application channel for the applicable programme route. [3]

Final enrolment includes the university’s recognition and authenticity checks on the foreign qualification. Academic admission and Universitaly validation are distinct steps; use the documents and intake instructions assigned to your applicant category. [3]

Current intake notices and source dates

The international page has published the 2027/28 visa rounds. Early Bird runs from 1 to 20 December 2026, the second round from 2 February to 19 March 2027 and the third from 8 April to 8 May 2027, and rounds may close early. Early Bird requires final academic documents and a Declaration of Value or CIMEA comparability already obtained. One application covers up to two programmes. [3]

The course regulation was issued by Rector’s Decree 1925 on 24 July 2025 and is linked as the 2025/26 cohort regulation. No newer linked programme regulation was located during this review. The university’s newer 2027/28 application calendar does not itself change the course-specific 36/9/36-CFU or B1 rules. [1][3]
