Special Cases in DSU Toscana Applications: Conditional Admission (Single Course) Master's 🎓

Many students, after applying for a master's degree in Italy, may face the condition of completing some undergraduate courses to be admitted to the program. The first question that comes to mind in this situation is:

👉 "Can conditionally admitted (single course) students apply for the DSU Toscana scholarship?"

Recent official answers provide clarity on this matter. Here are the details 👇

What is Conditional Admission (Single Course)?

• You receive admission to a master's degree program (laurea magistrale) at a university.

• However, direct enrollment is not possible due to missing courses (debito formativo).

• To remedy these deficiencies, you can either take courses at a local university or complete the deficiencies by enrolling in "corsi singoli di transizione" (single course enrollment) at the University of Florence.

Is There a Right to Apply for DSU Toscana?

Yes ✅ According to official regulations (Bando 2025/2026, Art. 6.4):

• Single course students can also apply for the DSU scholarship.

• Applications are evaluated under a “sospesa” (suspended/pending) status.

• This means your right to the scholarship and accommodation appears on the lists, but it is not finalized.

When Does the Scholarship Become Active?

Your scholarship right becomes active when you complete the missing courses and register for your full-time master's degree.

• If you fail to pass the courses before reaching this stage → the scholarship will be canceled, and you may need to reimburse for services received (dormitory, meals, etc.) (Art. 17.3 & Art. 22 provisions).

Summary of the Official Reply 📜

According to the answer from DSU:

• Single course students can apply.

• You can effectively use the scholarship once you complete your deficiencies and register for the regular program.

• During this period, your scholarship will be "suspended."

• However, for single course enrollment, it is essential to consult with the university's segreteria (student affairs office).

Recommendations for Students ✅

• Definitely submit your application and get listed under "suspended" status.

• Prioritize completing the missing courses.

• Contact the segreteria to clarify the enrollment procedures.

• Remember that if you cannot clear the deficiencies, you will lose your scholarship.

👉 Conditionally admitted (single course) students can apply for the DSU Toscana scholarship. However, the right to the scholarship is only finalized upon full-time master's degree enrollment.

So, there's no need to worry; submit your application. Just remember to complete the necessary courses at the end of the process.
