Letters of Recommendation
Applicants without any significant professional experience may submit two academic letters of recommendation, while those who are returning to university from the workforce may submit two professional letters of recommendation instead. Professional letters are meant to demonstrate an applicant's maturity and work ethic. There is no requirement for applicants听to have professional experience in their chosen field of study.听
GRE results
GRE results are not required for admission into AUR's M.A programs.
Admissions Deadlines
The Graduate admission cycle is run on a rolling basis with five distinct application rounds.听The earlier you apply, the earlier you receive an admissions decision and notification of your scholarship status, so we encourage you to submit your application as soon as听possible.听For an application to be considered complete, the听online application form听and all supporting documents (including letters of recommendation) must be received by the relevant application deadline, otherwise the candidacy will be rolled over to the next round. The timeline of application and notification deadlines for all application rounds can be found here.
Student Visa听
Non-EU/EEA citizens and residents must apply for a student visa upon acceptance. The necessary documentation will be provided to each accepted student once the deposit has been paid. It is the student's responsibility to ensure the student visa is obtained before arriving in Italy. As it may take several weeks to obtain an appointment with the local Italian Consulate, we recommend that appointments be scheduled as soon as possible for a date no more than 90 days prior to arrival. Please contact your admissions counselor if any issues arise during the process.
Deferred Admission
A student who has been accepted to 星空传媒 but cannot enroll immediately may request a deferral. Students who wish to defer are required to pay the (non-refundable) tuition deposit of 500 Euros or 500 US Dollars. Enrollment can be deferred for up to one academic year, after which the student loses their deposit and must re-apply for admission to the University.
The University reserves the right not to run an M.A. program if it does not enroll sufficient numbers of students. Acceptance to an M.A. program does not automatically guarantee that the program will run.
