Entry requirements
Detailed entry requirements
Verona's Mathematics master asks for a three-year degree or a recognised foreign equivalent with at least 60 ECTS in mathematics, physics or computer science, including 36 in mathematics, a B2 English certificate, and an extra assessment for some applicants. Reviewed 8 October 2026. [1]
The 60-credit rule
You need a three-year degree or university diploma, or another qualification obtained in Italy or abroad and recognised as suitable. It must include at least 60 ECTS in the scientific areas MAT (mathematics), FIS (physics), INF/01 (computer science) and ING-INF/05 (information processing systems), of which: [1]
- At least 36 ECTS in mathematics (MAT sectors).
- At least 15 ECTS in physics or computer science (FIS, INF/01 and ING-INF/05 combined).
Italian degrees in class L-35 (mathematical sciences), the older class 32 or an old-system mathematics degree meet these rules automatically. Your eligibility request must list each exam with its credits, subject area and grade. [1][2]
What this means for your transcript
Credits on a foreign transcript are not the same unit as ECTS, and Verona looks at the subject area of each exam, not just your total. 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 alongside Physics or Computer Science.
- Check carefully: a B.Sc. in Physics, Computer Science or Statistics, or a B.Tech or B.E. in any branch. These often cover the 15 physics or computing credits, but the 36 credits must come from mathematics courses themselves.
- Often short: a BCA, B.Com, BBA or BA without mathematics as a main subject usually lacks the 36 mathematics credits.
English
A B2 English certificate is required. If your degree does not show your English level among its exams, you must attach a certificate proving the level with your eligibility request. Verona also lists cases in which the B2 requirement is met automatically, and we check whether your degree qualifies. The admission page does not list specific test scores. [1][2]
Assessment of your preparation
Verona does not list a general entrance exam. If you meet the credit rule, an additional assessment of your competences applies only if your degree mark was below 85/110 or you graduated more than 10 years ago, and the committee may in any case decide to hold an interview. [1] Only the outcome exempt (ESONERATO) on Verona's system allows enrolment. [3]
2026/27 timing
For 2026/27, eligibility requests on Verona's ESSE3 system opened in July 2026, and your degree had to be obtained by the last graduation session of academic year 2025/26. [1][3] Verona's 2026/27 call for students with foreign degrees applying to its international master's programmes, with 15 scholarships and 48 reduced flat-rate fees, closed on 31 March 2026. [4] The 2027/28 dates are not yet published.
Non-EU applicants living abroad
Non-EU applicants living abroad follow Verona's procedure for international students: an application through Universitaly to the Italian embassy or consulate, and a check of your foreign qualification through Verona's online ElixForms procedure, since foreign qualifications are not accepted automatically. You need: [4]
- Your degree certificate, authenticated and officially translated into Italian or English, with a declaration of value or a CIMEA statement of comparability.
- Your transcript, authenticated and officially translated into Italian or English, or a CIMEA statement of verification.
An Italian language test is not required for international programmes taught in English. [4]

About the programme
Mathematics is a two-year master's degree (laurea magistrale, class LM-40 R) taught in English at the University of Verona. It is run by the Department of Computer Science, with its administrative base in Verona. [3]
The degree builds advanced knowledge across pure and applied mathematics, from analysis, algebra and geometry to numerical methods, data analysis and mathematical finance. Its entry rule asks for a strong mathematics base plus some physics or computing, so it suits graduates in mathematics and in closely related science or engineering degrees. [1][3]
What you will study
For 2026/27 the programme offers four curricula: General, Applied, Education and Erasmus Mundus MATHS DISC. The 2026/27 study plan totals 120 ECTS: [3]
- Functional Analysis (12 ECTS) and Numerical Modelling and Optimization (6 ECTS) are compulsory.
- Two units (12 ECTS) in algebra, geometry and analysis, such as Algebraic Geometry, Differential Geometry, Homological Algebra and Partial Differential Equations.
- Three units (18 ECTS) in modelling and computational mathematics, such as Mathematical Finance, Statistical Learning, Stochastic Calculus and Numerical Methods for Science and Engineering.
- A further 24 ECTS from a wider list that includes Machine Learning for Data Science, Computational Game Theory and Mathematics Teaching and Workshop.
- 12 ECTS of free-choice activities and 6 ECTS of further activities.
The degree ends with a final exam worth 30 ECTS. [3]
International options
Students can earn a double degree with partner universities: Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble and Université Bourgogne in France, and the University of Stuttgart in Germany. For the Stuttgart double degree, the 2026/27 selection weighed exam averages, credits earned and a motivational interview. [3]
Fees and scholarships
Verona charges a first instalment at enrolment, and the second and third instalments vary according to its fees guide. Students who do not have an ISEE, the Italian family income indicator, can choose an all-inclusive flat fee. [3][4] For 2026/27, Verona also offered 15 scholarships and 48 reduced flat-rate fees to students with foreign degrees in its international master's programmes, through a call that closed on 31 March 2026. [4] The regional scholarship body for Verona is ESU Verona, and the region decides awards, so this programme can be tuition-free for eligible students.
How to apply from outside the EU
You first request a check of your entry requirements on Verona's ESSE3 system, listing each exam with its credits, subject area and grade, and adding proof of English if your degree does not show it. For 2026/27 these requests opened in July 2026, and only the outcome exempt (ESONERATO) allows enrolment. [2][3]
Non-EU applicants living abroad also apply through Universitaly to the Italian embassy or consulate, have their foreign qualification checked through Verona's ElixForms procedure, and provide a declaration of value or a CIMEA statement for their degree. Verona notes that pre-enrolment does not secure a visa appointment. The 2027/28 calendar is not yet published. [4]
