Focuses on sustainable production, plant and animal systems, and management of soil, water and rural environments.

Academic and language preparation

For applicants with a non-Italian entry qualification: relevant bachelor's degree and agricultural/environmental preparation, assessed academically. Foreign qualifications must satisfy Padua's country-specific entry rules. For 2027/28, the entry qualification must be completed by 31 July 2027. At least B2 English: examples include IELTS 6.0 or PTE Academic 65. Valid evidence may follow the initial application but is due by 31 July 2027. English-medium study alone is not a universal exemption; use the current exemption list.

Application route and preparation

Foreign-degree applicants use apply.unipd.it. Padua announces its 2027/28 open-admission first call for 15 September–15 November 2026; confirm this programme's selectable round in the portal. Admission remains subject to academic assessment. Italian-degree applicants have a separate procedure.

A published programme does not mean every intake is open. Confirm the academic year, applicant category, required documents and submission deadline on the official application page.
