Admission
Admission to NORISK is based on competency; students will be evaluated based on their previous academic record. To be admitted, applicants must:
- Have completed at least 240 ECTS in Civil Engineering, Industrial and/or Systems Engineering, Materials Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or related fields, and hold a recognized degree in any of these fields. For students who have a study period at UNIPD (either through courses or dissertation), a minimum of 300 ECTS in Civil Engineering, Industrial and/or Systems Engineering, Materials Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or related fields, and a recognized degree is required. The Consortium views this broad spectrum of prior education as an advantage of the Master's program, offering students opportunities for collaboration across specialties.
- Have a good command of English. Non-native English-speaking students must have passed one of the following tests: TOEFL (score of 525 – paper-based / 72 – internet-based or higher) or IELTS (score of 6.5 or higher) or equivalent qualifications.
- Students who have not yet completed their degree but expect to graduate before September 21 may apply for the Master's course and receive a scholarship. If selected, their admission will be conditional upon receipt of the degree certificate from the Master's Secretariat by July 31 (EM scholarships) and September 21 (other applicants).
When applying, students must provide:
- Motivation letter between 1500 and 5000 characters (including spaces)
- Detailed Curriculum Vitae in European format (https://europa.eu/europass/en/create-europass-cv)
- Certificates and diplomas from previous university studies
- Academic transcripts including grades and course syllabi from previous university studies
- English proficiency certificates
- Certificates of relevant work experience and other professional certificates, if applicable
- Two letters of recommendation (sent directly by the applicant through the application portal)
- Proof of residency (issued within the last 12 months prior to the application deadline) – only for the first call
- Accredited special educational needs by a specialist doctor's report and/or, in specific cases, describing the type of special educational need and its impact on the requirements of the NORISK partner environment.
Admission is subject to approval by the NORISK Board of Directors and is based on the applicant's capacity and motivation, recommendation letters, and language skills.
