Which are the requirements for Transferring?

Students currently enrolled at another University may transfer to the Single-Cycle Master's Degree Program in Law only if they have obtained, with a weighted average of 26/30, at least

• 24 credits, for enrollment in the second year
• 60 credits, for enrollment in the third year
• 120 credits, for enrollment in the fourth year

as provided for in the degree program teaching regulations and calculated on the minimum number of credits required.

In case of a mismatch of credits, the Degree Program Coordinator may assess the suitability of the programs and, if necessary, request that an additional exam be taken, whose content will be determined by the adjunct professor holding the course, on a case-by-case basis.

Is it possible to transfer if I am enrolled at a foreign University?

Students who have carried out periods of study abroad and who have taken exams as part of an active career, in which the student is regularly enrolled in timeframe (without achieving the final qualification) can request a career assessment at the end of admission to a year following the first of a three-year or single-cycle degree course for credit recognition. The minimum access requirement is substantially equivalent to what has been approved for transfers from Italian universities. The following criteria will also be taken into consideration:

• they must have a (EU or non-EU) High School Diploma valid for admission to the first year at Luiss;
• the home university at which the exams were taken must be a recognised academic institution of the foreign system;
• the degree program of origin must be relevant with the Italian qualification and be consistent with the contents of the degree program in which one wishes to enroll.

It is reminded that only the applications which include the complete documentation will be taken into consideration: secondary school diploma with Declaration of Value or Certificate of Comparability of foreign qualifications compliant with current legislation on the subject, the official transcript of records (translated only if drawn up in a language other than English) legalized by the competent bodies and the syllabus of each teaching.

The Board Council assesses admission and the year of enrollment on a case-by-case basis, based on the documentation submitted (official Transcript of records, syllabi, High School Diploma).

When the exams are recognised, the number of credits foreseen by the Luiss degree program is attributed following the coherence criteria established by the Didactics' regulations. Regarding grades, given the different university systems, the exams will only be recognised as validated (without indicating the grade). Any validated exams will not be taken into account for the purposes of calculating the weighted average.

Wich documents must be accompanied to the pre-application form?

• an enrollment certificate showing the exams passed, the credits awarded for each such exam and the syllabi of the individual courses, which will be considered by the respective department boards - or a self-certification in accordance with Italian Presidential Decree n. 445/2000 to be delivered signed in original and containing all the data indicated above
• a double-sided copy of an identity document and tax code
• the certificate/self-certification of the High School Diploma

The High School Diploma must comply with current regulations regarding admission qualifications. For more information, visit the following page. Please be reminded that, as mentioned in the Call for Applications, the enrollment will be allowed only upon submission of the official documentation regarding the validity of your qualification (Declaration of Value or Statement of Comparability issued by CIMEA).
