Eligibility Criteria

An undergraduate degree/BA (for Italian applicants: Diploma di Laurea Triennale or equivalent Diploma) in the area of Cultural Heritage and Restauration, Arts and Humanities, Architecture and Design, History, Communication Studies, Learning and Education Sciences, Philosophy, Modern Languages and Cultures, Geography, etc., in which the applicant must demonstrate experience, knowledge, or have completed coursework/classes/exams in the field of Art History.

-IMPORTANT- This is a Master of arts in Art history: The MA programme application process will require you to eventually attend an evaluative interview as part of your application to assess further your academic and personal achievements and your commitment to a MA in Art History.

A degree in Art history or related is strongly recommended. Our Master of Arts in Art History program is designed for students with a strong background in art historical studies, including knowledge of Medieval, Early Modern, and Contemporary Art. This advanced program is academically rigorous and has limited enrollment capacity. 

Please consider your previous academic and professional experiences in Art History before applying, as our selection process is highly competitive and aims to admit students who have demonstrably engaged with the field at an advanced level.

The decisions made by the Evaluation Committee are final. Given the high volume of applications, preference will be given to candidates who have a background in Art History.

The International Students Office will check the authenticity of the documents provided. In the event that the documents requested are not provided or are deemed incomplete, students will not be admitted for enrollment.     

For non-EU citizens with residency abroad applying for a study visa: the admission letter does not substitute the official pre-enrolment procedures, which must be completed via Universitaly (www.universitaly.it) by 31 July. When submitting the pre-enrolment request, candidates must upload the complete required documentation. After pre-enrolment, each candidate is required to contact the Italian Diplomatic Representatives to present the requested documentation by the deadline indicated by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) available at the following link https://www.studiare-in-italia.it/studentistranieri/. 

Furthermore, the admission letter does not guarantee the automatic study visa issuance, which is the exclusive responsibility of the Italian Diplomatic Representatives and does not assure enrolment in the chosen study program. Official enrolment may be completed only after the study visa issuance, the verification of the authenticity of the documents submitted and the existence of all elements necessary for enrolment.

For EU and non-EU citizens already legally residing in Italy, the CIMEA Statement of Comparability must be uploaded in the enrollment phase on the Delphi website.

 TIMELINE:

After the application is submitted and the deadline has passed, the Admission Board will evaluate it within a few weeks (please wait for the result). Applicants will then be notified of the results via email**. Some applicants may be invited to attend an evaluative interview (this interview is not required for all applicants and is aimed at assessing their interest in the study program, proficiency in the English language, and their essential understanding and foundational knowledge of art history).

- The selected international applicants will first receive the Conditional Acceptance Letter. Later, after completing the pre-enrolment, they will receive the Formal Acceptance Letter.

- The Statement of Comparability issued by CIMEA is not mandatory for the application/evaluation process. Still, it is mandatory to be uploaded later on the Universitaly platform by 31 July, which is the deadline for submitting the VISA application. If in the evaluation notes of the certificate of comparability, it is stated that the qualification is suitable for enrollment in a master's degree in Italy, the International Students Office will proceed with the validation for the issuance of the VISA.

 **Please make sure to validate on Delphi the payment of the application fee you did via PagoPa, otherwise, it will result as not paid, and we cannot proceed with the evaluation.

Pre-preparation for the courses

The MA in Art History in Rome from Late Antiquity to the Present Programme starts from an advanced level, which requires students to have an adequate background.

In order to get such a common background all students who own a Bachelor degree in disciplinary sectors other than Cultural Heritage and Restauration, Arts and Humanities, Architecture and Design, etc. AFTER pre-assessment evaluation, might be required to consolidate their knowledge in Medieval, Early Modern and Contemporary Art through the individual study of a selected bibliography.
