Master in Transportation Engineering and Mobility at University of Naples Federico II

Detailed entry requirements

Transportation Engineering and Mobility evaluates the qualifying degree, documented subject preparation and English B2 evidence. The current degree-specific webpages and the latest located linked regulations were reviewed on 6 October 2026; inconsistent calendar entries are identified below. [1-5]

Qualifying bachelor’s and the non-engineering route

The programme normally accepts an engineering bachelor’s corresponding to Italian L-7 Civil/Environmental, L-8 Information/ICT or L-9 Industrial Engineering, with the foreign degree recognised as suitable. The current admission page expects at least EQF level 6. A non-engineering applicant can be considered after the committee examines a transcript showing at least 36 ECTS in basic sciences and at least 39 ECTS in the eligible engineering fields. These are separate blocks. [1, 4]

The linked 2024/25 regulations specify the 36-credit block as INF/01, MAT/01-MAT/09, SECS-S/02, CHIM/03 or /07, and FIS/01 or /07. The 39-credit block comprises ICAR/01-ICAR/09, ING-INF/01-/05 or /07, and ING-IND/10, /11, /13-/16, /22, /31-/33 or /35, with at least 18 CFU in the ICAR group. The current admission page summarises the blocks more broadly; we confirm the detailed mapping with the committee under the applicable regulations, rather than assuming any 75 science/engineering credits qualify. [1, 4]

Academic preparation and assessment exemptions

The linked regulations make personal-preparation assessment compulsory after curricular eligibility. They describe automatic verification for a qualifying credit-weighted examination average of at least 27/30, with foreign marking systems assessed after conversion. Below that route the committee can evaluate relevant grades and arrange interviews/tests or suggest curricular supplementation. Thus 27/30 is an assessment-exemption route, not a blanket published rejection cutoff for every lower-average applicant. The current website’s document review remains the actual pre-admission procedure. [1, 4]

The older linked regulations provide for an annually set access limit and an initial limit of 100, carried forward unless reset. A newly confirmed 2026/27 overall cap was not located in the reviewed pages; the historical figure is not a newly published annual allocation. A positive academic file also does not complete visa issuance or enrolment. [1, 4]

English B2: certificate required and MOI not accepted

The current programme page asks for evidence of English at B2 or higher. It identifies Cambridge, BEC, Trinity, IELTS, TOEFL and other accepted evidence, including Duolingo, subject to recognised/accepted certification. Native-English-country citizens are exempt under its wording. It explicitly states that medium-of-instruction certificates are no longer accepted. [1]

Visa-requiring non-EU pre-admission is not processed without the English certificate. The reviewed page does not publish universal IELTS/TOEFL/Duolingo numerical cutoffs or certificate-age limits, and we do not infer them from another degree. English testing after enrolment does not complete the pre-admission/visa file. [1]

Required documents for non-EU pre-admission

We prepare your passport, final bachelor’s degree certificate, full transcript identifying courses and examinations, detailed course programmes/syllabi, B2-or-higher English certificate, CV and motivation letter/statement of purpose. The admission page says applicants should already have attained final bachelor’s graduation. The transcript and syllabi must demonstrate the relevant degree route and quantitative/engineering preparation. [1]

Recommendation letters; a Declaration of Value or both CIMEA Comparability and Verification; sponsor/private-accommodation statements; and proof-of-funds statements are described as optional but helpful at selection. They are not mandatory initial uploads. The page’s optional financial-document example of €6,500/year is not a verified current embassy visa-funding minimum. Final recognition and consular documents follow their separate rules. [1, 5]

The applicant must control the intake account

You register on the programme’s intake website, activate the account, complete the profile and all requested declarations/documents, then await assessment by successive waves. Results can be selection, refusal or deferral for deeper consideration. The registered email cannot be changed without invalidating results. Applicants must personally access the account; the programme discourages applications controlled by agencies/third parties. ApplyAZ therefore supports you while you keep direct control of and access to your account. [2]

2026 dates and the inconsistencies that need confirmation

The 2026 intake page gives registration from 23 February to 30 May, but its profile-completion paragraph says 23 May, earlier than registration closes. Its selection-wave table still prints 2025 dates. The general admission page also uses differing May/June descriptions. Because of these inconsistencies, we confirm the dates directly with the programme, and the wave table is not a reliable 2026 or future timetable. [1, 2]

The explicit Universitaly deadline is 15 June 2026. The 2026 EU recruitment page states recruitment remains open until December 2026, with March extensions in past years only. A past extension does not mean there will be one this year, and for the general admission page’s different November/December statements we follow the relevant secretariat’s current instructions. No confirmed 2027/28 application calendar was found. [1-3]

Offer letter, Universitaly and the visa stage

A successfully selected visa applicant must follow the offer-letter request, declare the intention to pursue the Federico II visa route, register on Universitaly and give the programme the demand ID. We use the same email as the intake application, choose Transportation Engineering and Mobility (LM-23), and follow the offer-letter upload/validation instructions. Direct Universitaly registration does not substitute for completing the degree’s earlier selection stages. The consulate handles the visa application and appointments. [1, 2]

Final registration and attending before the visa is complete

The degree page requires foreign candidates’ final enrolment in person at the Engineering Student Secretariat, Piazzale Tecchio 80, Naples; Italian candidates can use the online route. The current EU recruitment page refers applicants to an online platform, so for non-Italian EU applicants we confirm whether any preliminary online step still requires final in-person completion. Required final records include identity/passport, payment proof, photo, relevant visa/residence documents, offer letter/Universitaly summary where applicable, bachelor’s degree and language evidence. [1, 3]

For final qualification recognition the degree page lists a Declaration of Value or both CIMEA Comparability and Verification, with its stated ARDI/Lisbon-system alternative where applicable. We use the current secretariat form, as the page still links an old 2025/26 form. Delayed-visa candidates may attend first-semester lectures online, but examinations are in person after final enrolment. Temporary attendance does not create student status or a right to exams if enrolment fails. [1]

Which engineering bachelor’s is accepted?

The usual routes correspond to L-7 civil/environmental, L-8 information/ICT or L-9 industrial engineering, with a suitable foreign equivalent recognised by the committee. [1, 4]

Can a non-engineering graduate apply?

Yes, subject to assessment of at least 36 basic-science credits and 39 eligible engineering credits. The linked regulations add an 18-credit ICAR subset, and we confirm the applicable detailed mapping with the committee. [1, 4]

Is an English MOI certificate accepted?

No. The current admission page expressly says medium-of-instruction certificates are no longer accepted. Visa-requiring non-EU pre-admission needs an accepted B2-or-higher certificate. [1]

When is the deadline for non-EU students?

For the 2026 intake, registration on the programme's intake site ran from 23 February to 30 May, and the Universitaly deadline was 15 June 2026. Some programme pages gave conflicting dates, and no 2027/28 calendar was published when we reviewed it, so we confirm the dates directly with the programme. [1][2]

Are recommendation letters compulsory?

The degree page describes recommendation letters as optional but helpful. Its mandatory selection file includes degree, transcript, syllabi, English certificate, passport, CV and motivation letter. [1]

Does an offer letter complete enrolment?

No. It supports the Universitaly/visa stage after successful selection. Final registration and the required qualification, payment and identity/residence checks are separate. [1, 2]

Can I take exams while attending online?

Only after final enrolment, with examinations in person. Temporary online first-semester attendance while awaiting the visa does not itself confer student status or examination rights. [1]

Can someone handle my whole application to Transportation Engineering and Mobility at Federico II?

Yes. ApplyAZ, an Italy-based consultancy that works only with public universities, checks your transcript against Federico II's rules for this programme, handles the application and Universitaly pre-enrolment, helps you file the ADISURC Campania 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 Transportation Engineering and Mobility?

An Indian B.Tech or B.E. in civil, environmental, information or industrial engineering can fit the usual L-7, L-8 or L-9 routes if the committee recognises it as suitable. Other graduates need at least 36 basic-science and 39 engineering credits. You need a B2 English certificate, as MOI is not accepted. The steps are the intake application, the offer letter and Universitaly pre-enrolment. [1][4] 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 Transportation Engineering and Mobility are the same whatever your nationality. Applicants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka follow the same steps as India: the programme's intake application, an offer letter 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 Transportation Engineering and Mobility are the same whatever your nationality, and Gulf residents follow the same steps: the programme's intake application, an offer letter and Universitaly pre-enrolment. Read our guides for Dubai, Riyadh and Doha.

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: the programme's intake application, an offer letter and Universitaly pre-enrolment, then a type D study visa.
