Beasiswa MSc Scholarships in Computer Science – 2013/14 - Venice (Italy)

The pre-evaluation procedure to enroll in the two-year MSc program in "Informatica - Computer Science" (www.unive.it/msc-computer-science), offered by Università Ca' Foscari Venezia (Italy) for the academic year 2012/13, is open from Feb 1st to May 31st, 2013.

The program, which is taught in English and is suitable for students with diverse academic backgrounds, covers the theory and practice of a wide spectrum of fields in Computer Science and Information Technology, and allows students to pursue a minor in Statistics.

Three study plans, which include specific groups of related elective courses, are suggested: (1) Information Sciences and Intelligent Systems, (2) Software Dependability and IT Security, and (3) Information Systems and Statistical Analysis.

The requirements to apply are the following: Candidates must hold a university degree, equivalent to a tree-year (or four-year) Bachelor degree in Computer Science or related subjects (Computer/Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, etc.); Candidates must be proficient in English (a B1 certificate is required, or a certificate attesting that the medium of instruction of the bachelor was English).

Candidates can ask for an on-line pre-evaluation of their qualification and school career (www.unive.it/evaluation) before starting the official enrolment procedure. 
Only students who complete successfully the on-line pre-evaluation procedure by May 31st, 2013 can be awarded with the university international scholarships. Other regional scholarships are available, assigned on the basis of the family income.

This pre-evaluation procedure is particularly important for non-EU citizens residing abroad, who have to apply as early as possible (we suggest long before the deadline of May 31st, 2013). These students, once received a pre-acceptance letter, have to submit a further pre-enrolment application to an Italian Diplomatic Delegation in their countries, in order to pre-enroll and transmit us all the original documents, and to start as soon a possible a pretty long process to obtain an Italian Student Visa.
