Whatever the Bachelor’s degree program you attended, we expect you to meet the entry requirements before you join the courses: this usually include basic concepts of solids mechanics, physics, chemistry and materials science.

Be aware that not meeting the department minimum academic requirements does not exclude, limit, or affect the possibility of attending the courses and undertaking the exams: all entry requirements listed in this prospectus reflect the minimum requirement we consider appropriate to participate in the programme fruitfully.

To check if you meet the entry requirements, you can undertake the Self assessment test.

The self-assessment tests will help you familiarize yourself with the disciplines you will go through during the MSC courses. Before undertaking the self-evaluation test, please consider the following:

• the test is not mandatory.
• The test reflects the entry requirements listed in the previous table.
• The test is a self-evaluation tool: it aims at helping you to autonomously assess your current academic level on the disciplines of the MSc.
• The results of the test are recorded anonymously and elaborated only for statistical purposes.

To bridge the gap between course requirements and your current academic level, the Department of Industrial Engineering has several tools. In particular:

• a list of the essential literature which is useful to meet the minimum entry, listed in the Document "Master's Degree in Materials Engineering enrollment prerequisites". If you need more detailed literature and/or clarifications on the entry requirements
• Tutorial activities during the semester on several disciplines (solid mechanics, metallurgy) that covers the basic academic knowledge to support you to meet the minimum entry requirements.
