Master in Mathematics and Applications at University of Camerino

Detailed entry requirements

Unicam's Mathematics and Applications master asks for a three-year bachelor's or recognised foreign equivalent with at least 30 CFU in algebra, geometry and mathematical analysis, a committee check with a preliminary interview for degrees outside Italian class L-35, and English at B2. Reviewed 8 October 2026. [1]

Degree requirement

You need a three-year bachelor's degree or university diploma, or a foreign qualification recognised as suitable. [1]

• Maths credits: in every case, at least 30 CFU in the core mathematics sectors of algebra, geometry and mathematical analysis (MAT/02, MAT/03 and MAT/05).
• Direct admission: Italian degrees in class L-35 (mathematical sciences) are automatically considered adequate.
• Other and foreign degrees: a committee appointed by the degree board checks your curricular requirements and preparation through a preliminary interview before enrolment, using your CV and, where needed, your course syllabuses. It can propose an individual study plan.

Whatever your background, the course expects you to know calculus in one and several variables, linear algebra and the fundamentals of mathematics, and to be able to read advanced mathematical texts and research articles. [1][2]

What this means for your transcript

Italian CFU and the credits on a foreign transcript are not the same unit, and the committee looks at the content of your maths papers, not just totals. As a guide, based on the rule above:

• Usually a fit: a B.Sc. (Hons) in Mathematics, or a B.Sc. with mathematics as a main subject that includes real analysis, abstract algebra and geometry.
• Check carefully: a B.Sc. in Statistics, Physics or Computer Science, or a B.Tech or B.E., where calculus and linear algebra are covered but algebra, geometry and analysis may not reach 30 credits.
• Often short: a BCA, B.Com, BBA or BA, or a B.Sc. in life sciences, with few university mathematics papers.

For graduates from outside mathematics, the course can set a personalised study plan. [1][2]

English

The regulations ask for B2 in a European Union language other than Italian, written and spoken, and the 2026/27 course description asks for English at B2, including subject vocabulary. The programme web page still lists B1; we work to the B2 level. [1][2][4]

Your level can be validated by a certificate or an equivalent test, and without either you cannot sit exams after the first year. At pre-admission, a Cambridge, IELTS or TOEFL certificate is optional and other certificates are not taken into account. No minimum test scores are published. [1][5]

Selection

No written entrance test is described. For degrees outside class L-35, including foreign degrees, a committee assesses your curriculum and preparation through a preliminary interview and may propose an individual study plan. [1]

For international applicants, Unicam's scientific committee evaluates the pre-admission file, usually within three to four weeks. It may set requirements beyond the ministerial rules: a final score above 75% (lower scores can still apply but may weigh on the outcome), a relevant study path and, if applications are very numerous, an age range. Applicants who already hold CIMEA statements or a declaration of value are given preference. [5]

2026/27 deadlines

For 2026/27, the pre-admission deadline was 31 March 2026, and the call is now closed for non-EU applicants. The Universitaly pre-enrolment portal is usually open from about the end of March to the end of November. The 2027/28 call sets the next dates. [5]

Documents and non-EU steps

• Pre-admission: register on Unicam's portal with your passport details and submit the preliminary evaluation application with the documents on Unicam's country-based list. A missing mandatory document leads to rejection. If you are still studying, provisional documents are accepted at this stage.
• After a positive outcome: Universitaly pre-enrolment, which Unicam validates with an acceptance letter for your visa application.
• In Italy: hand in your passport, your residence permit or proof of application, your original degree with its legal translation and the Italian mission's stamps, a declaration of value or a CIMEA or other ENIC-NARIC statement of comparability and verification, and the regional tax receipt.

A positive pre-admission outcome does not include a scholarship. [5]

What bachelor's degree do I need for Mathematics and Applications at Camerino?

A three-year bachelor's or recognised foreign equivalent with at least 30 credits in algebra, geometry and mathematical analysis. Italian maths graduates (class L-35) qualify directly, and other or foreign degrees are checked by a committee through a preliminary interview. [1][2]

Is there an entrance exam?

No written test. For degrees outside class L-35, including foreign degrees, a committee checks your curriculum and preparation through a preliminary interview before enrolment and can propose an individual study plan. [1]

What English level is required? Do I need IELTS?

B2. The 2026/27 course description asks for English at B2. A Cambridge, IELTS or TOEFL certificate is optional at pre-admission, but without B2 proof or an equivalent test you cannot sit exams after the first year. [1][2][5]

When is the deadline for non-EU students?

For 2026/27, Unicam's pre-admission deadline was 31 March 2026, and the call is now closed for non-EU applicants. The 2027/28 call sets the new dates, so we prepare your file before it opens. [5]

Can I apply before I graduate?

Yes. Unicam accepts provisional documents at pre-admission if you are still studying or waiting for your final qualification, but the official final documents are required at enrolment. [5]

I have a B.Tech or a B.Sc. in Physics. Can I apply?

Possibly. You need 30 credits in algebra, geometry and analysis, plus solid calculus and linear algebra. Engineering and physics degrees usually cover calculus but can be short on algebra and geometry. The committee may set a personalised study plan. We check your transcript first. [1][2]

Which curricula can I choose?

Three in 2026/27: Pure Mathematics, Mathematics for Industrial Engineering, and Mathematics for Analytics and Finance. All share an advanced core in algebra, geometry, analysis, applied mathematics and probability, include 12 free-choice credits and end with a 30-credit thesis. [2][3]

What careers does it lead to?

Building and developing mathematical models in science, environment, health, industry, finance and public administration, plus science communication and research. Unicam lists banks, insurance, consultancy, software and aerospace among outlets, and graduates can continue to a PhD. [2][3][4]

Start by checking your eligibility.

I'm applying from India. What is the route into Mathematics and Applications?

A three-year Indian B.Sc. in Mathematics, or a B.Sc. with maths as a main subject, can meet the rule if it includes at least 30 credits in algebra, geometry and analysis, and you need English at B2. A committee checks every foreign degree through a preliminary interview. The steps are online pre-admission, Universitaly pre-enrolment and the study visa. [1][2][5] 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 Mathematics and Applications are the same whatever your nationality. Applicants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka follow the same steps as India: online pre-admission, a positive committee evaluation 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 Mathematics and Applications are the same whatever your nationality, and Gulf residents follow the same steps: online pre-admission, a positive committee evaluation 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 Mathematics and Applications 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: online pre-admission, a positive committee evaluation and Universitaly pre-enrolment, then a type D study visa from the Italian mission for where they live.
