Master in Information Engineering for Digital Medicine at University of Salerno

Detailed entry requirements

Information Engineering for Digital Medicine requires three specific credit blocks, English B2 and verification of personal preparation. Its 2026/27 regulations and current international procedure distinguish academic test alternatives from the certificate demanded of ordinary abroad applicants. Sources were reviewed on 6 October 2026. [1, 2]

Qualifying degree and three curricular conditions

A recognised bachelor’s/three-year diploma or suitable foreign equivalent is required. Computer engineering and related information-engineering backgrounds are the normal fit; a computer-science degree without enough engineering subjects may not meet the requirements. The committee maps the actual examination record, rather than admitting every graduate with an IT-related degree title. [1, 2]

Exact current credit blocks

• At least 36 CFU in the foundation groups. Foundation subjects comprise physical disciplines in Area 02; mathematical/computing disciplines in Area 01 excluding MATH-01/A and MATH-01/B; CHEM-03/A, CHEM-05/A and CHEM-06/A; and STAT-01/A and STAT-01/B. This block also includes IINF-05/A. [1]
• At least 36 CFU in IINF-05/A or INFO-01/A. [1]
• At least 12 CFU in IBIO-01/A, IIET-01/A, IINF-01/A, -02/A, -03/A and -04/A, or IMIS-01/B. [1]

Committee mapping and preparation exemptions

IINF-05/A appears in two listed blocks. The regulation states the three conditions separately; it sets no 84-unique-credit total and does not say that credits can be double counted. We obtain the committee’s mapping of your transcript. Any missing curricular requirements must be fulfilled before the preparation assessment and enrolment; no incoming credit deficit is permitted. [1]

The current admission annex exempts graduates of Salerno’s specified L-8 Computer Engineering or Information Engineering for Digital Medicine bachelor’s route from the preparation test. Other candidates are exempt only when all stated conditions hold: weighted examination average at least 24/30; degree completed by the first year beyond its normal duration; qualification awarded no more than two calendar years before enrolment; and correspondence with the master’s specified certification standard. Foreign-grade equivalence is assessed by the university. These are exemption conditions, not a universal GPA minimum for every applicant. Academic-credit and English requirements still apply. [1]

Detailed preparation-test syllabus

• Mathematics and physics: calculus, linear algebra, complex numbers and eigenvalue methods; mechanics and electromagnetism. [1, 2]
• Control and electronics: continuous/discrete linear time-invariant systems; electrical circuits; combinational/sequential logic and hardware-description methods such as VHDL. [1, 2]
• Telecommunications: probability and random variables; continuous/discrete signals and systems; digital-signal and communication fundamentals. [1, 2]
• Programming/computing: data structures, algorithms, object orientation, concurrency and complexity; processor architecture and networks/TCP; relational data models, SQL and transactions; operating-system scheduling, memory and files. [1, 2]

English B2 and the international certificate rule

The academic regulation recognises at least English B2 through a Ministry-recognised certifier, the university language-centre assessment, or at least 28/30 in the English section of TOLC-I. In exceptional cases the committee can perform the specified language assessment. These are language-evidence routes, not substitutes for subject credits or the admission assessment. [1]

The department’s international checklist is stricter in its ordinary abroad-applicant procedure: it requires a B2 certificate from a listed Ministry-accredited institution and explicitly rejects Medium of Instruction letters and Duolingo. In that route, applicants abroad supply the stated certificate; a generic MOI or an academic-regulation alternative is not automatically accepted. Any individual exceptional assessment needs the committee’s express decision. [1, 2]

Assessment score, attempts and validity

For candidates who are not exempt, the assessment totals 100 points: up to 20 for prior academic qualifications and up to 80 for the test. The pass mark is 60/100. The course assesses curricular suitability before personal preparation, and missing academic requirements must be completed first. Participation is requested at least 10 days before the scheduled test, with the degree/transcript showing credits, grades, subject classifications and any other requested qualification records. We send that request for you. [1, 2]

The current admission-procedure annex allows candidates still completing the first-cycle degree to take the preparation test after obtaining at least 150 credits. Passing remains valid for 12 months from the month of the test, and candidates may attempt it no more than twice in a calendar year. Pending-degree test access does not remove the requirement to obtain the qualifying award and satisfy all enrolment conditions. [1]

Current test dates and applicant location

The published in-person sessions are 17 July, 25 September and 11 December 2026 and 19 February 2027. As of this review, the December and February sessions remain future dates. The remote sessions, reserved exclusively for residents abroad, were 22 June, 3 July and 11 September 2026; all have passed. We request a place through the prescribed participation procedure at least 10 days before a session. An upcoming in-person test is not proof that a new visa intake or remote session is open. [2]

Foreign records and Universitaly-first procedure

The file holds your passport, CV, final bachelor’s qualification and a transcript listing each examination, grade and credit/credit-hour amount, together with the accepted English certificate. We add course descriptions where needed to establish subject equivalence. The international instructions request a Declaration of Value or CIMEA comparability for the foreign bachelor’s. The stated procedure permits transmitting the qualification-value evidence at its later specified stage; we start obtaining it in time for the consular and final-registration checks. [1, 2]

The department explicitly requires Universitaly pre-enrolment first and says no pre-check is performed before that step. The programme then examines the file and arranges the required assessment; after a positive university outcome, the applicant proceeds with the visa and final registration. Universitaly comes first and the test follows. Admission, visa issuance and final qualification verification remain separate decisions. The optional UNISA scholarship call is a separate selection, and its deadline is not the programme’s general admission deadline. No 2027/28 admission calendar is established by these sources. [2]

Is any computer-science bachelor’s automatically eligible?

No. The committee checks all three subject-credit blocks; a computer-science record lacking the required engineering subjects may fail curricular evaluation. [1, 2]

What are the three credit conditions?

At least 36 foundation credits, 36 computing/information-processing credits and 12 in the listed engineering sectors. The committee decides the mapping where sector lists overlap. [1]

Is a 24/30 average a universal admission minimum?

No. It is one condition of the stated preparation-test exemption for other-degree applicants, together with completion timing, award recency and certification correspondence. [1]

What score passes the assessment?

At least 60/100 overall, with up to 20 points for academic qualifications and up to 80 for the test. [1, 2]

Is an MOI letter accepted for the ordinary abroad route?

No. The department requires a Ministry-accredited B2 certificate and rejects MOI letters and Duolingo in its international checklist. [2]

Should I pass the test before submitting Universitaly?

The department requires Universitaly pre-enrolment first and performs no pre-check before that step. File evaluation and the required assessment follow. [2]

I'm applying from India. What is the route into Information Engineering for Digital Medicine?

If you hold a B.Tech or B.E., computer engineering and related information-engineering backgrounds are the normal fit, and we map your exams against three credit blocks: 36 foundation, 36 computing and 12 engineering credits [1]. You need a Ministry-accredited B2 English certificate, as MOI letters and Duolingo are not accepted [2]. The steps are Universitaly pre-enrolment, file evaluation and the preparation assessment unless you are exempt [2]. 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 Information Engineering for Digital Medicine are the same whatever your nationality. Applicants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka follow the same steps as India: Universitaly pre-enrolment, the department's file evaluation and the preparation assessment unless an exemption applies, then a type D study visa from the Italian mission for their country of residence.
