If you are already a graduate student or have completed your exams and plan to graduate by the autumn session, and you intend to enroll for the a.y. 2023-24 master's degree in Language Technologies and Digital Humanities, you must submit the Preliminary Application for Admission as a first step. The Preliminary Application for Admission does not replace the enrollment process, but is an essential part of it and must be submitted directly on the www.unito.it portal from June 1 to December 31, 2023.
If you have graduated or are about to graduate at the University of Turin, you will be able to use the UNITO credentials. If you graduated from other universities, you will first need to register with the Unito portal
After logging in, you can access the SUM Preliminary Master's Admission Application procedure (Application Manual). Once you have filled the online form in with the exams you have taken specifying SSD- CFUs and grade, you will have to attach the self-certification with the passed exams and the documents proving that you meet the entry requirements (see dossier described, above, under point 4)
Attention. Classes for some subjects begin on September 18, 2023, and in some cases you may have to take classes even if you are conditionally admitted, pending graduation or an additional exam. Check the career plan of the first year of the master's degree program, the calendar and schedule of the teachings you have to/want to take in the first year, and arrange to start attending classes even before you have submitted your application for admission and received the final confirmation of admission.
If you meet the requirements indicated above and have applied for admission by the dates indicated below, you are summoned to an interview aimed at verifying the adequacy of personal preparation (item 5 of Admission Requirements according to the following schedule:
Applications submitted by the Colloquium Telematic mode
|
July 14th |
July 24th, 9 a.m. |
|
|
Oct. 28th |
Nov. 6th, 9 a.m. |

Dec. 31st |
Jan. 16th, 9 a.m |
Completing the application process (Sept. 1, 2023-Jan. 19, 2024)
Once you have received notification of approval by e-mail and on your MyUnito page, in the List of applications submitted through the SUM Preliminary Magistral Admission Application procedure, you can carry out the actual enrollment procedure (again on your MyUnito), which must be completed by January 19, 2024, as determined by the Academic Senate.
If you are not yet a graduate student, but you meet the admission requirements, you can proceed with the actual enrollment only after you have obtained your bachelor's degree and in any case no later than the deadline of January 19, 2024.
- If you are graduating from the University of Turin, your status will be updated automatically and you can proceed with enrollment on your MyUnito.
- If you are graduating from another university, you must re-enter through MyUnito in your Preliminary Application and update the Degree, indicating the date of graduation and grade. Do not add a Degree, but complete the data for the one you already entered before you earned it. Your status will be updated automatically and you can proceed to enrollment on your MyUnito.
If you intend to apply for a career shortening or validation of other educational activities (transitions, transfers, or single teaching), first you must finalize your enrollment in your chosen degree program. Then On the United Student Service Desk's Master's Degree Enrollment Information page, click No, I want to open a ticket, enter your United credentials and select Category: Humanities Cluster, Subject: Credit Recognition. See also the CFU Recognition page on the Graduate Program website.
If you are interested and intend to enroll in this master's degree program, please read carefully the admission requirements set by the Teaching Regulations (see item 3 above).
If you meet the requirements before you submit your preliminary application, the whole application process will be much easier. If, on the other hand, you are in the last year of a three-year degree program-or even earlier!-, in Turin or in any university, and you find that you are lacking CFUs in the SSDs (Scientific Disciplinary Sectors) required by the master's degree program in which you intend to enroll, try to include them in your career plan, possibly taking advantage of supernumerary credits, and pass the corresponding exam(s) before you graduate. This way you will not face additional costs.
If you are lacking CFUs in the required SSD(s) (Scientific Disciplinary Area) and cannot fit them into your career plan and take them, or if in an orientation interview you were told how many CFUs you need to take and in which SSD(s), you can register for individual exams.
Warning. Do it as soon as possible, even before you apply for preliminary admission!
- If you register for single exams by July 28 and make arrangements with the lecturer(s), you can take the exam in the first useful session, even in July or September, bringing the syllabus from the year before you enrolled in the master's program.
- If you register for single exams after July 28, on the other hand, you can take single exams in November, only on the condition that the lecturer agrees, the teaching is scheduled in the first (hemi)semester of your first year of the master's degree program, i.e., at the time you are submitting your preliminary application, and classes are finished by November.
Before you purchase the single exam, check whether the lecturer in charge of the teaching is available for you to take the exam in July, September or November and agree with her/him on the syllabus to bring to the exam.
To register for individual teachings:
- if you are a student of the University of Turin, on the United Student Service Desk's Master's degree enrollment information page, click No, I want to open a ticket, enter your United credentials and select Category: Humanities Cluster, Subject: Single teachings (single courses).
- if you are not a UU student, write to servizistudenti.scienzeumanistiche@unito.it, indicating in the subject line of the e-mail: SINGLE COURSES - MASTER'S DEGREE ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
If you have applied for preliminary admission, you can take the exams to obtain the missing CFUs by the November appeals window or by January 19 at another location. The result of exams taken at another location must be reported promptly and in any case by January 19, 2024 at 3 p.m. in the manner described below. You do not have to submit a new application in any case.
Once you have earned the required CFUs, write to a faculty member of the CdS Admissions Committee and attach self-certification of the exam(s) taken. Then, on the Master's degree admissions information page of the United Student Service Desk, click on No, I want to open a ticket, enter your United credentials, and select Category: Humanities Hub, Subject: Matriculation and Enrollment. Ask to close your preliminary application, indicating which exam(s) you passed, on what date, for how many CFUs, and in which SSD(s). If you passed them at another university, attach your self-certification.
