Italian Students

Admission to the Master’s degree programme in Ancient Egypt and Western Asia: archaeology, history and languages is ALSO open to holders of an Italian Laurea degree.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that all the courses available in the English programme are also part of the two Italian curricula (‘Egittologico’ and ‘Vicino e Medio Oriente’), where they are taught in English as well. The Italian curricula offer a wider range of courses and more flexibility for the Italian students. The title provided by the English degree programme is totally equivalent to the Italian master degree (Laurea Magistrale) and cannot be considered an international title.

The application requires two steps:
