Students interested in enrolling in the multidisciplinary MD in Cognitive Science and Theory of Communication (LM-55/92) must have in-depth knowledge of cognitive processes, the methodology of empirical sciences, and adequate notions of neuroscience and of philosophical, semiotic, communicative, pedagogical knowledge, as well as anthropological, linguistic, IT and socio-political fields. Enrolment in the course requires a three-year degree in the following classes: L-05 (Philosophy), L-19 (Education and training sciences), L-20 (Communication sciences), L-24 (Psychological sciences and techniques), L-15 (Cultural tourism), L-03 D.A.M.S., L-39 (Social service sciences), L-31 (Computer sciences and technologies) and equivalent, or another three-year degree obtained in Italy that ensures the acquisition of at least 30 CFU in the following SSDs: L-ART, L-LIN, M-DEA, M-PED, M-FIL, M-PSI, SPS, INF, ING-INF, or another degree obtained abroad, recognised as suitable. As this is an international course given in English, certification of a level of competence equal to at least B2 is required as an entry qualification.
The verification of the student's preparation (ex art. 6, par. 2 of D.M. 270/04) is carried out prior to enrolment, in accordance with the procedures indicated in the course regulations, by a special Commission appointed by the Board of the Master’s Degree.The test is considered successfully accomplished for those students who have reported a Bachelor's degree score higher than 85/110. If the assessment reveals shortcomings in the preparation, the Board of Master’s Degree, on the proposal of the Commission, identifies supplementary courses within the master's degree depending on the result of the verification of personal preparation, which must still lead to the achievement of the master's degree with 120 CFU, without additional training activities.
