2. To have gained at least 24 credits divided as follows in these scientific subjects:
MAT/01-09; INF/01, ING-INF/05, SECS-S/01-02, FIS/01-08, at least 6 credits
CHIM/01/02/03/06/12, at least 6 credits
BIO/01-19, GEO/01-12, at least 12 credits
Failing possession of the right degree and/or the credits mentioned above, admission to the Master's degree programme is conditional on the student possessing the necessary knowledge as ascertained by a special Committee perusing the CV and conducting an interview and/or written test according to criteria and a procedure set by the Degree Programme Board and posted on the University Portal.
As well as possessing the set curricular requirements, one may only join the Master's degree programme if one can demonstrate enough personal background knowledge. This may be ascertained from examination of one's CV, followed by an interview, the details and procedures of which will be established by the Degree Programme Board and made known via the University Portal.
The second-cycle degree programme may decide on a special session for international students and appoint a Committee to check the suitability of their background knowledge, if the Call for study grant allocation allows time (its deadline is usually in May).
If international students have been positively evaluated under the foregoing point, they are exempt from the next step foreseen for the majority of students, viz. a test of their personal knowledge.
