Master in Public and Health Economics at University of Molise

Detailed entry requirements

Molise’s English Public and Health Economics master requires a suitable bachelor’s and English B2. The current 2026/27 student guide names five degree classes or an alternative with 18 economics/policy plus nine statistics/demography credits. It narrows direct English recognition to the stated international certificates or formal MOI; other candidates take a university language assessment. [1, 2]

Named degree classes and suitable foreign bachelor’s

The current guide accepts L-33 Economics, L-18 Business Administration, L-41 Statistics, L-16 Public Administration/Organisation and L-36 Political Science/International Relations. Foreign first-cycle qualifications are assessed by the Department of Economics committee for the content/level of courses completed and examinations passed. The international brochure requires a recognised bachelor’s comparable to at least three years/180 ECTS, allowing postgraduate study in its awarding system. [1, 3]

The programme expects adequate economics and quantitative foundations. No universal GPA or bachelor’s final-mark cutoff is published in these reviewed admission provisions. A degree class that meets the named route does not dispense with English clearance, suitability verification or any requested personal-preparation assessment. [1, 2]

Other degrees: 18 economics plus nine quantitative credits

For another degree class, obtain at least 18 CFU/ECTS in ECON-01/A Economics and/or ECON-02/A Economic Policy, formerly SECS-P/01 and /02; and at least nine in STAT-01/A Statistics and/or STAT-03/A Demography, formerly SECS-S/01 and /04. These are two separate minima totalling 27, not an interchangeable 27-credit general STEM pool. Foreign examinations are mapped by their actual contents. [1]

Any missing credits must be acquired through individual courses before enrolment. Molise’s guide does not provide the permission to recover missing admission credits during year one that Catanzaro publishes for its different master. We map your official records and syllabi so the committee can identify the recognised subjects and any deficit. [1]

Current direct English B2 recognition: certificates or MOI

The 2026/27 guide accepts recognised Cambridge English, TOEFL or IELTS evidence attesting at least B2, or an official MOI certificate showing a previous university degree was taught entirely in English. It explicitly identifies these as the only documentation forms accepted for direct recognition. It does not publish a universal numerical IELTS/TOEFL score or certificate age in this section. [1]

The standing Access webpage lists broader examples, including PTE/university examinations and placement/interview options. The newer year-specific guide’s narrower direct-document rule is the basis used here. Applicants unable to provide the accepted certificate or appropriate MOI must undergo the designated university English assessment before the programme begins. A certificate omitted from the current guide does not give direct exemption. [1, 2]

Italian B2 is required before the final qualification

The current guide requires international students to establish Italian B2 before receiving the final degree. It accepts the stated recognised Italian certificates, including CILS, CELI, PLIDA or CERTIT, or the university’s interview/placement test where appropriate. This requirement is distinct from English B2 for entry to the English-taught programme. [1]

The central non-EU brochure’s pre-entry Italian-test requirement is expressly for Italian-taught programmes. Its generic final checklist does not turn this English master’s before-graduation Italian condition into an automatic Italian B2 admission barrier. We follow the course-specific guide and the university’s applicable administrative instruction. [1, 3]

Personal preparation and possible subject assessment

A department-appointed committee reviews curricular eligibility and personal preparation. It may examine the transcript, conduct an individual interview including online, and administer specific disciplinary tests. Foreign qualifications receive content/level review. No compulsory uniform timed test, published pass score or unconditional grade-based interview exemption is specified in the current course guide. [1, 2]

Foreign qualification file: documents and authenticity

The overseas brochure requests the qualifying bachelor’s or the allowed provisional graduation evidence, full transcript, Declaration of Value, official course syllabi and institutional confirmation of their authenticity/correspondence. Where a thesis was part of the award, supply the applicable copy/translation/legalisation. Identity/passport evidence is required. Final eligibility still requires the actual qualifying award; provisional submission does not waive it. [3]

We follow the prescribed official translation/authentication requirements. The course admission webpage says English-issued documents need no translation, whereas the central overseas checklist describes Italian translations; we confirm the university’s applicable language instruction for your file instead of treating either generic phrase as an unconditional waiver. The EU/equivalent brochure separately lists award/transcript, DOV or Diploma Supplement and any applicable valid Italian residence permit. [2, 3, 4]

Applicant route, Universitaly and deadline status

Overseas non-EU visa applicants pre-enrol in Universitaly with passport/ID, bachelor’s and transcript/Diploma Supplement, then complete the programme’s academic checks. University validation forwards the application to the consulate; it is not itself a decision on admission or the study visa. After arrival, apply for the study residence permit within eight working days and complete the university’s document/original checks. [3]

EU and qualifying non-EU residents follow their separate profile/enrolment procedure, with foreign records referred to the teaching committee. The reviewed programme guide and brochures do not establish a course-specific open application window, exact interview appointment or 2027/28 deadline. We follow the university’s current selection/enrolment notice for those dates; no open round is inferred from standing eligibility guidance. [1, 3, 4]

Can someone handle my whole application to Public and Health Economics at Molise?

Yes. ApplyAZ, an Italy-based consultancy that works only with public universities, checks your transcript against Molise's rules for this programme, handles the application and Universitaly pre-enrolment, helps you file the regional DSU 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 Public and Health Economics?

The department committee reviews Indian degrees by content. A B.Com, BBA, BA or B.Sc. transcript is checked for at least 18 economics or economic policy credits and nine statistics or demography credits. [1] English B2 comes from Cambridge, TOEFL or IELTS evidence or a full-English MOI, otherwise a university assessment. [1] We map your syllabi, then handle Universitaly pre-enrolment and the eligibility review. 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 Public and Health Economics are the same whatever your nationality. Applicants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka follow the same steps as India: Universitaly pre-enrolment and the department's academic eligibility review, then a type D study visa from the Italian mission for their country of residence.

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.

I'm applying from the UK, US, Canada, Singapore or Malaysia. Is anything different?

The academic rules are identical. Non-EU applicants who live abroad, including citizens of these countries, follow the same route: Universitaly pre-enrolment and the department's academic eligibility review, then a type D study visa. Read our guides for London, New York, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
