ADMISSION
PROCEDURES
Restricted enrolment
numbers
Every year the Free University of
Bozen/Bolzano establishes the maximum number of students who
can be admitted to the Bachelor’s Degree Course in Applied
Computer Science. For the academic year 2008/2009 the maximum
number of students who can be admitted is 100. In addition, 50
places are reserved for non-EU citizens.
Concurrent
enrolment at several universities or in several courses at the
same university is not allowed.
Qualifications
required for admission
Candidates are eligible to
enrol in the Bachelor’s Degree Course if they possess the
following qualifications:
a) diploma from a five-year high
school course;
b) diploma from a four-year high school
course, with or without a certificate attesting that they have
successfully completed a one-year complementary course;
c)
degree (irrespective of their secondary school
qualifications);
d) qualifications equivalent to those in
points a), b) and c).
Candidates must be in possession
of the relevant certificate by the time of enrolment at the
latest, otherwise they will be unable to finalise enrolment
procedures.
In addition, non-EU citizens resident
abroad will have to pass a compulsory Italian-language
assessment test. The exact date for the test in 2008 will
be announced by the Language Centre. Further information is
available at the Language
Centre of Free University of Bozen/Bolzano, e-mail language.centre@unibz.it.
Admission
requirements
Besides the aforementioned
qualifications, candidates must also have:
- adequate knowledge of at least one of the course’s
official teaching languages
- adequate general and specific knowledge.
These requirements must be declared by the
candidate in his/her "Dossier".
PRE-ENROLMENT
There are two
pre-enrolment sessions:
- February 18th – April 4th, 2008
- June 3rd - August 22th, 2008
Participation
in the first session is strongly advised, as it will allow the
candidate to have a better chance of obtaining a place on the
course - the vast majority of places (90%) will probably be
assigned in the first session - and to complete enrolment
procedures in plenty of time before the beginning of the
University year.
N.B.: those who pre-enrol for the BSc in
Applied Computer Science in the first session cannot pre-enrol
for the same course in the second session. They can, however,
pre-enrol for other undergraduate courses.
The
application for pre-enrolment – which is possible for more
than one degree – must be done through the Free University of
Bozen/Bolzano’s website http://www.unibz.it/students/secretariat/pre_enrolment_online_p1/introduction_pre-enrolment/index.html?LanguageID=EN.
Those
who do not have an Internet access can use the computers
provided for this purpose by the Free University of
Bozen/Bolzano (in Bolzano and Bressanone). The form must be
filled in online and must be printed out entirely and signed.
It must be handed in or sent by post to the Student
Secretariat of Bozen/Bolzano:
- by April 4th 2008, 12.00 a.m.
- by August 22th, 2008, 12.00 a.m.
Attention!
Non-EU citizens resident abroad must also pre-enroll trough
the Embassy:
- by May 2008 (exact date will be announced by the
Ministry)
Applications that arrive without a
signature, without all the necessary enclosures, after the
deadline, or by email or fax cannot be taken into
consideration.
The date of the postmark will not be
taken into consideration!
The following documents
must be enclosed with the pre-enrolment form:
- a passport-size colour photo;
- a photocopy of a valid identity card or passport
(front/back);
- a dossier written in Italian, German or English composed
as follows:
|
|
| |
 |
| Dossier |
Study curriculum
copy of the report cards
issued by the candidate's secondary school on plain paper with
marks for all subjects from the third-last and second-last
years of secondary school.
If these years were spent in a
school abroad, it is also necessary to enclose a document
issued by that secondary school detailing the range of marks
awarded and the mark from which is generally considered a
pass, as well as the highest mark available.
This can be
presented in the original language. |
Translation of the report card
Translation
of the report card into one of the three official teaching
languages of the University (this does not have to be
certified). |
Personal Statement Letter
A personal
statement letter that is no longer than one side of typed A4,
written in English, Italian or German, in which the candidate
explains why he/she would like to enrol for this degree
programme. |
Knowledge of Language
If the subjects taught
at the school do not include German, Italian or English, the
candidate must enclose a certificate attesting to knowledge of
at least one of these languages. | |
|
In the event that the
candidate wishes to pre-enrol for more than one programme, an
application form and accompanying documentation must be completed
for each faculty.
Non-EU candidates resident abroad
must carry out the enrolment procedures both through the Italian
authorities (Consulate or Embassy) in the country in which they
obtained or are to obtain their academic qualifications and directly
with the University. The deadlines imposed by the Italian Ministry
of Education, Universities and Research (Ministero dell’Istruzione,
dell’Università e della Ricerca (www.miur.it) must be respected:
this year the timespan is 19th May-14th June 2008, see Study
in Italy. Should candidates not follow this procedure with their
local Italian consulate, the application that they delivered direct
to the University will be declared null and void. The Italian
authorities abroad are the only ones able to accept and send
applications to the University.
Evaluation can then only take
place from the documentation presented with the application form by
the candidate. It is the candidate’s responsibility, therefore, to
make sure that the application is complete.
In order to avoid
long queues, it is recommended that the delivery of these documents
does not take place in the last few days before the
deadline.
SELECTION PROCEDURE AND
ADMISSION RANK LIST
The selection procedure consists
in the evaluation of a dossier by an application committee. This
dossier must be sent by every student together with their
pre-enrolment form.
The results of this selection procedure
will be published as rank lists for enrolment: one for EU citizens
and one for non-EU citizens.
The rank lists will be published on
the notice boards of the Faculty and of the Student Secretariat, as
well as on the web pages of the University.
First

Those candidates who have been admitted
through the rank lists will have to pay the first instalment of
university fees (€ 575) and deliver the receipt to the Student
Secretariat by no later than June 30st, 2008. The instructions for
the payment can be found here.
Once this receipt has been received, candidates are guaranteed a
place on the course.
Those who do not pay, or who do not deliver
the receipt to the Student Secretariat by the deadline, will
automatically lose their place and there will be a period where
candidates on the waiting list will be able to enrol.
Candidates
will then be able to enrol on the BSc course in Applied Computer
Science by presenting their application by September 26th, 2008 (see
section entitled “Enrolment”). Once the university fees have been
paid, there will be no refund unless the candidate does not pass
his/her secondary-school leaving exam.
Second

on September 08th, 2008.
The candidates who have been admitted
through the rank lists will be able to enrol on the BSc course in
