The Statement of Comparability is a document containing the information relating to the academic qualification (such as the recognition/accreditation of the institution that issued it in the country of origin and the level of the qualification according to the Bologna Process and the European Qualifications Framework) to let it be evaluated by the competent bodies in the different national systems.

Candidates can apply to the IMPPM programme without this certificate, however, presenting the Statement of Comparability is a necessary part of the enrolment process and accepted candidates must submit this certification to the Master Secretariat in order to enrol as a student in the IMPPM programme.

Applicants who have received their acceptance letter from the University should immediately begin the process to obtain the Statement of Comparability issued by CIMEA: http://www.cimea.it/en/index.aspx and send the result to the Master Secretariat as soon as possible.

To access the service candidates must register on cimea.diplo-me.eu/cimea. Registration is free. (Please note that you need to put the check in the box close to the Italian sentence “non sono un robot” to complete the registration).

All the information regarding costs, service timeliness, required documentation (which depends on the country where the degree was awarded) and short guides can be found on CIMEA website. In most cases documents required are:

• Diploma (in original language)
• Diploma Supplement, if available
• Official Transcript of Records (in original language): a document that lists all the modules you have studied and the grades you have received throughout your degree and it is issued by your University
• Translation in English or Italian
