Master's · Part B: Am I eligible?

Do my subjects have to match the master's?

Short answer: Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons Italian master's programs reject applicants from Bangladesh. Many courses ask for a minimum number of credits in specific subject areas, for example maths and statistics for economics, or programming for computer science.

  • Find the "admission requirements" or "curricular requirements" on the course page.
  • Map your transcript subject by subject against them. Count credit hours honestly.
  • Some courses also check your "personal preparation" with an interview or a short test.
  • A course outside your field is possible only if your transcript shows the required basics.

This page explains official rules in plain language. I am not an immigration adviser and I do not give visa advice. For that, always use official government sources. Rules change: confirm with your university, the embassy and VFS before you act.
