Unverified. Not yet verified. A person has not opened the source for this cycle. Read off the institution own programme page on 13 September 2026 by a single research pass. It has NOT been independently re-checked: the verification stage of that run was stopped before it reached this record, so the record renders as unverified rather than claiming a receipt it does not have. The English requirement is held at unverified unless a per programme source URL was found. Figures here are a starting point for a reader, not a checked claim. Open questions: 1) The 2027/2028 admission notice is not published. Luiss states that the notices, with the full requirements, participation procedures and calendar, will be available from November 2026. Everything in this record comes from the preliminary pages Luiss has already put up for 2027/2028, so the documents list, the places and the scores can still move. 2) The number of places for Data Science and Management is not published anywhere I could reach. 3) No minimum grade, mark or GPA is published for this programme. The published bar is the degree class, the credit counts, B2 English, and on the certified route the GMAT or GRE score. 4) The 2027/2028 academic calendar is not published. September is read off the 2026/2027 calendar, where the first semester starts on Monday 7 September 2026 and the second on Monday 1 February 2027, with a note that midterms alone are restricted to bachelor's students. 5) The online application form for 2027/2028 is not live. It opens in December 2026, so applicationUrl points at the master's admissions hub rather than at a form. 6) The EU and Schengen route has its own calendar. The page for it says only that preliminary information is available and that the full notices come from November 2026, so the two dates in this record are the non-EU ones. 7) Luiss publishes an employment rate of 95% one year after graduation, one month average wait to first job, 70% offered a job before graduating and 12% working abroad. These are Luiss wide graduate figures on the programme page, not a placement rate measured on this degree, so they are deliberately left out of the structured fields.

The university’s exact wording
“Programme specific clause, under the heading "Master's Degree in Data Science and Management" in the minimum academic requirements for the 2027/2028 selection process: "In addition, students must have at least a B2 level of English, which will be assessed during the admission test." The same page states the rule for how the level is verified: "For degree programmes taught in English, in addition to meeting the minimum curricular requirements, applicants must have a level of English proficiency equivalent to at least B2. Depending on the admission route taken by applicants, proficiency at this language level is verified (for example, by passing the Admission Test in English or by submitting GMAT or GRE certificates)." The Admission Test can be taken in Italian or in English, and "If you choose to take the Test in English, you will be able to apply for courses in both Italian and English." On the non-EU selection with certifications, which lists Data Science and Management by name among the English taught courses, the actual minimum scores are: "GMAT with a minimum score of 515 (out of 805); GRE with a minimum score of 154 (out of 170) in the Quantitative and Verbal sections." No IELTS, TOEFL, PTE or Duolingo score is published for this degree, and no medium of instruction letter is accepted on either first year route.”

Entry requirements
What this call asks of you.
The admission model first, because it is the one that closes a degree for a year. Everything below it is quoted from the university's call for applications for this cycle, in its order.
How it admits
Restricted, entrance test
accesso programmato
The university's own wording
“Luiss does not print the words accesso libero or accesso programmato on these pages. It states the restriction as a ranking against a fixed number of places. Luiss Admission Test route: "Rankings are determined for each degree programme indicated as a first choice, based on the score obtained in the Test, expressed out of 100. The Committee sets a minimum admission threshold for each degree course or specialisation, taking into account the scores achieved by candidates, the allocated number of places, and the aim of fostering a diverse class composition." Selection with certifications route: "The Commission reviews the applications and decides whether to admit candidates based on their score, taking into account the number of places available for each degree programme." The Italian original of that second clause reads: "La Commissione esamina le candidature e determina l'ammissione o la non ammissione dei candidati in ordine di punteggio, tenendo conto dei posti disponibili per ciascun Corso di Laurea." The course choice is binding: "your course choice is binding for admission, ranking, and subsequent enrolment."”
Entrance tests
The university's own testGMATGRE
What the call asks for
Hold a bachelor's degree in one of these classes, or in the equivalent classes under Ministerial Decree 509/1999, or another qualification obtained abroad that is recognised as suitable under current legislation: L-8 Information Engineering; L-16 Administration and Organisation Sciences; L-18 Economics and Business Management; L-30 Physical Sciences and Technologies; L-31 Computer Science and Technology; L-33 Economics; L-35 Mathematical Sciences; L-41 Statistics.
"In addition, students must have at least a B2 level of English, which will be assessed during the admission test."
If your degree is in another class: "at least 48 university credits in total (either already earned or still to be earned) in at least two of the following subject areas": Economics; Economics and Business; Statistics and Mathematics; Law; Information Technology; Engineering.
Within those 48 credits: "at least 24 ECTS credits must be earned in the following scientific subject areas: ECON-01/A; ECON-06/A; ECON-07/A; ECON-08/A; STAT-01/A; INFO-01/A; IINF-01/A."
Missing curricular credits may be completed by a stated date. For the 2026/2027 cycle the page set that date as 9 November 2026, and only university credits count: "work experience and internships cannot be considered for this purpose." The equivalent 2027/2028 date sits in the admission notice, which is not published yet.
A foreign qualification must have been awarded on completion of a first level degree lasting at least 3 academic years (or 4, depending on the school system), must entitle the holder to enrol in graduate programmes in the awarding country, must come from an official university in that country's education system, and must not be a professional or vocational qualification.
On the non-EU selection with certifications route only: a GMAT score of at least 515 out of 805, or a GRE score of at least 154 out of 170 in the Quantitative and Verbal sections.
On either route the bachelor's degree must be obtained by 18 November 2027.
No minimum grade, mark or GPA is published for this programme.

The application file
- Identity document or passport showing citizenship
- Certificate of enrollment, or degree with a transcript of records
- A valid, official GMAT or GRE certificate, attached with the corresponding score
- Authorisation for Luiss to receive the official score from the certifying body: gmac.com or mba.com for the GMAT, ets.org for the GRE
English, accepted proofs

Only what this call names. A proof another degree at the same university accepts is not on this list unless this call says so too.
Before any of it counts
Start the legalisation chain first
A degree awarded outside Europe has to be attested and legalised before an Italian university reads it. That chain is decided by the country you apply from, and no office on it publishes a turnaround.
The degree
About this degree.
A two year Laurea Magistrale at Luiss Guido Carli in Rome, taught entirely in English, that puts statistics, machine learning and computing infrastructure next to management, law and ethics. It suits a graduate in engineering, computer science, statistics, mathematics, economics or business who wants to work with data inside a company rather than in a research lab.
The Master's Degree in Data Science and Management is a two year programme at Luiss Guido Carli in Rome. It belongs to the Italian degree class LM-Data. It is taught entirely in English. It carries 120 ECTS credits and sits inside the Luiss Graduate School. The director is Blerina Sinaimeri, Associate Professor of Computer Science.
The university's full description
The first year covers data-driven management, data science practice, data visualisation, statistics, computing infrastructure, deep learning, ethics for AI, regulation for AI, data privacy and security, digital ecosystems and optimisation methods. The second year covers statistical learning and foundation models, then two elective courses worth 12 ECTS. The plan also holds two Certificates worth 6 ECTS each, an internship worth 6 ECTS, and a final thesis worth 16 ECTS. Luiss builds the Certificates with corporate and institutional partners and issues a digital micro-credential for each one.
Access is not open. Luiss ranks applicants by score and admits them against the number of places set for each degree programme. An applicant must hold a bachelor's degree in one of eight listed Italian degree classes, or a foreign qualification recognised as suitable under current legislation. An applicant from another degree class needs at least 48 university credits in at least two listed subject areas, and at least 24 of those credits in a shorter list of scientific areas.
Luiss does not ask for IELTS or TOEFL for this degree. English must be at B2 level and Luiss checks it itself. On the Luiss Admission Test route, English is assessed inside the test. On the route for non-EU applicants who apply with certificates, a GMAT score of at least 515 out of 805, or a GRE score of at least 154 out of 170 in the Quantitative and Verbal sections, is what verifies the level. There is no separate language certificate to buy.
The single annual contribution for the first year in 2027/2028 is 16,000 euro, paid in three instalments, plus the regional tax. The participation fee for the selection is 150 euro, and it is mandatory and not refunded. Applications from outside the EU and Schengen area open in December 2026. The Luiss Admission Test route closes on 8 April 2027, and the test runs from 19 to 22 April 2027. The route with a GMAT or GRE certificate closes on 31 March 2027. On both routes the bachelor's degree must be obtained by 18 November 2027. The full admission notices, which carry the complete rules and calendar, are published from November 2026.

Asked about this programme
The questions this one gets.
Do I need IELTS or TOEFL for this degree?
No. Luiss publishes no IELTS or TOEFL score for this programme. The requirement is B2 English, and Luiss verifies it itself: inside the Luiss Admission Test if you take that route, or through your GMAT or GRE certificate if you apply on the selection with certifications route.
What GMAT or GRE score do I need?
On the non-EU selection with certifications route, a GMAT of at least 515 out of 805, or a GRE of at least 154 out of 170 in the Quantitative and Verbal sections. That route covers Data Science and Management. You do not need either score if you take the Luiss Admission Test instead.
What is the deadline?
It depends on the route, and both are for applicants from outside the EU and Schengen area. Applications open in December 2026. The Luiss Admission Test route closes on 8 April 2027, with the test held from 19 to 22 April 2027 and registration by 22 June 2027. The route with a GMAT or GRE certificate closes on 31 March 2027, with registration by 18 May 2027.
What does it cost?
The single annual contribution for the first year in 2027/2028 is 16,000 euro, paid in three instalments, plus the regional tax. The selection itself costs a participation fee of 150 euro, which is mandatory and not refunded.
My bachelor's is not in one of the listed classes. Can I still apply?
Yes, if your transcript carries at least 48 university credits across at least two of the listed subject areas, and at least 24 of those credits sit in ECON-01/A, ECON-06/A, ECON-07/A, ECON-08/A, STAT-01/A, INFO-01/A or IINF-01/A. Credits can be already earned or still to be earned by the date the admission notice sets.
How many places are there?
Luiss does not publish the number. It states only that the commission admits candidates in score order, taking into account the places available for each degree programme, and that the course you choose is binding for admission, ranking and enrolment.
What does the second year look like?
Two taught courses, Statistical Learning and Foundation Models, worth 6 ECTS each, plus two elective courses worth 12 ECTS together, two Certificates worth 6 ECTS each, an internship worth 6 ECTS and a final thesis worth 16 ECTS.
One programme, one university, once a year.
That is what Universitaly allows. Three questions tell you where you stand before you spend that choice: the degree level, what the visa wants in the bank, and how much calendar is left.
