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) No application deadline is published for a cycle you can still enter. The 2026-2027 pre-selection closed on 15 May 2026 for non-EU candidates who need a visa and on 31 July 2026 for everyone else. Sapienza has not yet published the 2027-2028 pre-selection dates. The previous cycle opened on 22 December 2025, so watch the admissions page from December. 2) Whether a Pakistani GCE O Level certificate counts as GCSE or comparable for the English waiver line. The sheet does not define comparable, and the answer is worth an email to ee_admissions@uniroma1.it before paying for a test. 3) The 2026-2027 tuition amounts are not published yet.

The university’s exact wording
“The admission requirements sheet prints this for MSc Electronics Engineering. MINIMUM ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS. Upper Intermediate - Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) Level B2. The following test scores are accepted: IELTS 5.5 or higher; TOEFL iBT 80 or higher; Cambridge English B2 First or higher; Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English - ISE II or higher. Please note that the above English language requirements are waived for: Native speakers of English; Students holding an English-taught diploma/degree from an accredited institution in the EU/EEA/Schengen or Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States; Students holding an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable diplomas/certificates. Read that waiver carefully. The medium of instruction line is limited by country and Pakistan is not on the list, so a Pakistani degree taught in English does not waive the requirement. The third line, for an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable diplomas or certificates, carries no country limit. Duolingo is not on the accepted list. The official call for this programme states the same floor in one sentence: a good, certified command of written and spoken English is also required, at a level certified as at least B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.”

Why this figure, and not a lower one
Italian state fees usually scale with an assessed household indicator. Where the call states one figure it appears above; where it states a scale, this page says so rather than averaging it.

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
Open access
accesso libero
The university's own wording
“The Italian catalogue page prints the access mode as: Modalità di accesso: Verifica dei requisiti e della preparazione personale. The official call is titled Modalità di ammissione al Corso di laurea magistrale con verifica dei requisiti e della preparazione personale, which Sapienza publishes in English as: Admission procedure for the Master's degree programme with assessment of entry requirements and personal knowledge. There is no quota, no ranked list and no written admission test. The call adds that enrolment is granted upon payment of the course enrolment fees, following the successful completion of the assessment of entry requirements and personal knowledge. One caution sits on the international side: the admission requirements sheet states that possession of the academic and language requirements indicated in this document is NOT a guarantee of admission, and that each application is assessed individually.”

The English rule
IELTS required
“The admission requirements sheet prints this for MSc Electronics Engineering. MINIMUM ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS. Upper Intermediate - Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) Level B2. The following test scores are accepted: IELTS 5.5 or higher; TOEFL iBT 80 or higher; Cambridge English B2 First or higher; Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English - ISE II or higher. Please note that the above English language requirements are waived for: Native speakers of English; Students holding an English-taught diploma/degree from an accredited institution in the EU/EEA/Schengen or Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States; Students holding an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable diplomas/certificates. Read that waiver carefully. The medium of instruction line is limited by country and Pakistan is not on the list, so a Pakistani degree taught in English does not waive the requirement. The third line, for an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable diplomas or certificates, carries no country limit. Duolingo is not on the accepted list. The official call for this programme states the same floor in one sentence: a good, certified command of written and spoken English is also required, at a level certified as at least B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.”

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 master's degree in electronics engineering at Sapienza, with a curriculum taught in English, covering microwave circuits, integrated electronic devices, digital architectures, photonics and radiofrequency systems. It suits an engineering graduate with a strong mathematics, physics and electronics background who wants hardware and system design work.
Electronics Engineering is programme code 33511 at Sapienza University of Rome. It is a Laurea Magistrale in degree class LM-29. It runs for two years and is taught in person in Rome. The faculty is Ingegneria dell'informazione, informatica e statistica. The department is INGEGNERIA DELL'INFORMAZIONE, ELETTRONICA E TELECOMUNICAZIONI. The catalogue lists the language as Italian and English. The published study plan holds two curricula for 2026: one in Italian, and one named Electronics Engineering (percorso valido anche ai fini del conseguimento del doppio titolo italo-statunitense o italo-francese) - in lingua inglese. This record describes the English curriculum. The catalogue also records an international path: Doppio titolo: italo-francese o italo-statunitense.
The university's full description
The English curriculum sets these taught modules in the first year: MICROWAVES, INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC DEVICES, OPTOELECTRONICS AND PHOTONIC APPLICATIONS, COMMUNICATION THEORY AND ENGINEERING, DIGITAL INTEGRATED SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES, RADIOFREQUENCY ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS and ELEMENTS OF TECHNICAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION. The second year sets MULTIDISCIPLINARY LABORATORY OF ELECTRONICS, worth 12 CFU. The final work is AAF2182 PROVA FINALE - TESI DI LAUREA MAGISTRALE, worth 20 CFU.
The student must also take 24 CFU from an optional group. That group is published in full and it is large. It includes Embedded Systems, NANOELECTRONICS LABORATORY, MACHINE LEARNING FOR SIGNAL PROCESSING, COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, Pattern Recognition, DESIGN OF MICROPROCESSORS AND ACCELERATORS, DIGITAL SYSTEM PROGRAMMING, Advanced Antenna Engineering, ADVANCED ELECTROMAGNETICS AND SCATTERING, RADAR SYSTEMS, GROUND PENETRATING RADAR, ULTRA WIDE BAND RADIO FUNDAMENTALS, WIRELESS ACCESS NETWORKS, EARTH OBSERVATION, REMOTE SENSING, LASER FUNDAMENTALS, OPTICS, OPTICAL QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY, SMART SENSORS AND TRANSDUCERS FOR ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SYSTEM, THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS OF LOW FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS, Artificial materials - metamaterials and plasmonics for electromagnetic applications, ACCELERATOR PHYSICS AND RELATIVISTIC ELECTRODYNAMICS, DISCRETE MATHEMATICS and MATHEMATICAL METHODS FOR INFORMATION ENGINEERING. Every module in the English curriculum is tagged ENG in the plan, apart from the final thesis and one 12 CFU slot that the catalogue prints without a name.
Admission is not a competition for places. Sapienza checks that you hold the entry requirements, then a committee inside the Area Educational Board assesses your previous academic record. The committee may ask for an online interview. If it finds gaps, it arranges a Personalised Training Programme, which can mean extra exams. The call states that this tailored approach runs to a maximum of 12 credits inside the master's degree, or catch up examinations in specific subjects.
An international applicant who needs a student visa does not apply to the programme directly. The first step is a pre-selection application on MoveIn, which costs 30 euro and which Sapienza limits to two programmes per student per academic year. A successful pre-selection produces a letter of pre-acceptance. Sapienza states that pre-acceptance letters are only issued through the MoveIn portal and that it does not work with any agency. After that comes the eligibility check on Infostud, which costs 10 euro, and then enrolment.
Where it leads
As the university states it on its own page. Not a placement rate and not a promise.
- Electronics engineer. Sapienza names three roles for the graduate: analyst, designer, and research and development specialist.

- Public bodies: central and local public administration and public security, regulatory and supervisory bodies, standards bodies and public authorities, certification bodies, and laboratories that assess electronic processes, products and systems.
- Research and development centres, both academic and industrial.
- Sapienza lists the sectors as consumer electronics, electronic and photonic micro and nanotechnology, aeronautical and aerospace electronic systems, information processing systems, telecommunications systems, biomedical systems, environmental systems, energy management systems, and industrial automation and control.
- The programme foresees external placements for carrying out the master thesis.
Asked about this programme
The questions this one gets.
Can I use the medium of instruction rule instead of IELTS?
Not from Pakistan. The waiver on this programme's entry covers native speakers of English and holders of an English-taught diploma or degree from an accredited institution in the EU, EEA or Schengen area, or in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Pakistan is not on that list. A separate line waives the requirement for holders of an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable diplomas or certificates, and that line carries no country limit.
What English score does this programme ask for?
IELTS 5.5 or higher, or TOEFL iBT 80 or higher, or Cambridge English B2 First or higher, or Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English at ISE II or higher. The level is CEFR B2. Duolingo is not accepted.
Is there a minimum grade?
Yes. The admission requirements sheet sets a minimum GPA of 80 out of 100 for this programme.
How much is tuition?
Sapienza states that full tuition for its bachelor's and master's programmes is 300 to 1500 euro a year, according to country of residence. If you earn your income abroad and so cannot file an Italian ISEE, you pay a fixed amount set by country band. Pakistan is listed in Band A, which is 300 euro a year, paid in three instalments of 90, 105 and 105 euro. A student assessed under the Italian ISEE system pays instead the standard rate for this faculty's contribution bracket, which is 2,924 euro a year. If you pay a flat rate band amount you cannot also claim an ISEE reduction.
Is there an admission test?
No written test. A committee assesses your academic record and may ask for an online interview. If it finds gaps in your background it arranges a Personalised Training Programme of extra exams.
When does teaching start?
The faculty academic calendar for 2026-2027 sets the first lecture series from Wednesday 23 September 2026 to Tuesday 22 December 2026, and the second from Monday 22 February 2027 to Friday 28 May 2027.
Which fee is which?
Two different payments come before enrolment. The MoveIn pre-selection application fee is 30 euro per application and is never refunded or waived. The eligibility check on Infostud is a separate 10 euro fee set by this programme's own call.
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.
