SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING: selection criteria and procedures

Selection Criteria: Schools of Engineering

Candidates will be evaluated by the relevant Degree Council (CCS), which will first assess their eligibility, applying the criteria and limitations laid down by each Degree Programme, taking into account the choices made by the students and discarding any unsuitable destinations. Subsequent assignments of destinations will be made

• n the basis of a single ranking list, which for students with an

Italian diploma will be drafted using a value known as grade, generated by a formula based on average marks, ECTS and time taken to complete academic courses.

where

Each grade is system- generated using the student's career data as at 31 December 2016.

Selection procedures: Schools of Engineering

The destination universities will be assigned automatically for all applicants -

first ranking.

If a student is assigned a university featured in his/her application as one of

the top 3 choices, the student will be required to either accept or reject the

assigned university by the deadline set out in the selection schedule. Refusal

• r non acceptance will exclude the student from further stages of the selection

process.

Selection procedures: Schools of Engineering

Students who are allocated an institute stated in their application as the

4th to the 10th choice may accept the allocated institute. If they do not,

they will automatically take part in the next phase of the selection process, envisaging a second and third ranking, based on the previously calculated grade and maintaining the order of preferences already expressed. This phase of the selection process will also involve eligible students who were not selected in the first phase, until all available places at the selected institutes are allocated.

Selection procedures: Schools of Engineering

With the third and last ranking, students who are allocated an institute stated in their application as the 4th to the 10th choice must accept the allocated institute by the deadline set out in the selection schedule (march 20th, 2017, midday). Refusal or non acceptance will exclude the student from taking part in a International Mobility Programme for a.y. 2017/18.

SCHOOL OF AUIC and SCHOOL OF DESIGN: selection criteria and procedures

SCHOOL OF AUIC and SCHOOL OF DESIGN Selection criteria: suitable destinations and final assessment

Throughtout each phase of the selection process, the promoting professors evaluate whether the chosen destinations are suitable. They may indeed discard destinations they think unsuitable for the student. Each candidate’s final assessment consists of a maximum of 50 points, distributed as follows:

• at most 10 points are awarded for the student's portfolio
• at most 10 points are awarded for the student's profile, the letter of motivation (or

statement of purpose), and his/her knowledge of languages).

SCHOOL OF AUIC and SCHOOL OF DESIGN Selection criteria: the grade

The grade is generated by a formula that takes into account the average marks, ECTS and the duration of the academic career. The formula gives greater chances to students who have obtained slightly lower average exam marks and ECTS than other colleagues, but in a shorter space of time. where

Each grade is system- generated using the student's career data as at 31 December 2016.

SCHOOL OF AUIC and SCHOOL OF DESIGN Selection criteria: incentives and penalties

Candidates who have never taken part in an international mobility programme lasting at least three months during their academic career will have 3 points added to their grade (mobility incentive). Students who have applied for a Double Degree programme for the academic year 2017/18 and who have rejected or not accepted the allocated institute, will be penalised by having 2 points subtracted from their grade.
