Chances of admission to Master's Programme in Electronics and Nanotechnology (Microelectronic circuit design major) with a CS background?

Hi everyone,

I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Sapienza University (Italy), and I'm considering applying to a Master’s Programme in Electronics and Nanotechnology**, specifically the Microelectronic Circuit Design major.

The admission requirements state that applicants should have:

A high-quality Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or a related field. Excellent candidates with degrees in other fields (such as information systems, engineering, natural sciences, or mathematics) may also be considered if they can demonstrate sufficient skills and knowledge.

They also mention that the recommended background includes skills in:

• electronics
• physics (especially for Photonics and Nanotechnology)
• mathematics
• basic programming

With a CS degree, I clearly meet the math and programming requirements, but I'm unsure about the physics and electronics part. In my program I didn’t take any physics courses, and the only somewhat related class I had was digital circuits, which didn’t really cover electronics from a physics perspective.

So my questions are:

1. Would a CS background like mine realistically be considered for this type of program, or would the lack of physics/electronics courses make my application uncompetitive?
2. Is this generally a very competitive program to get into?
3. Is there any way to check in advance whether my background would meet the requirements (for example by contacting admissions), or is it better to just apply and see what happens?

P.S.: I also have 1 YOE in embedded programming, which might be somewhat relevant.

Thanks in advance!
