Programme enrolment: requirements, deadlines and methods

Admission Requirements

Admission to the degree programme is subject to the possession of a five-year secondary school diploma obtained in Italy or equivalent qualification obtained abroad, or a four-year secondary school diploma plus the related supplementary year, or, where no longer active, admitted students will be assigned additional learning requirements.

Restricted access

The programme has restricted access, according to the available resources. The number of places and selection methods, which may include scores obtained in nationally and internationally accredited tests, are published annually in the call for applications.

Knowledge required

Candidates shall possess the following knowledge:

• Basic mathematics and logical reasoning skills
• English Language skills (minimum level B2)

Assessment of basic knowledge required

All candidates must sit one of the selection tests - and follow the admission procedures - indicated yearly in the call for applications. Such tests will also serve to prove whether candidates possess the basic knowledge required to be admitted in the programme. Such basic knowledge is assessed by defining the minimum score for admission to the programme with restricted access, which aims exclusively to check the knowledge required for admission. Admitted students who scored less than the minimum threshold will be assigned additional learning requirements ("OFA – Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi").

Additional Learning Requirements

Candidates obtaining less than the minimum score in the entrance exam will be assigned additional learning requirements (OFA), and will be required to attend supplementary courses in mathematics or other related learning activities. The additional learning requirements will be considered accomplished for students who pass the exam in Calculus and Linear Algebra by the due date. Students with OFA who do not complete their additional learning requirements within the year will need to repeat year I of the programme in the following academic year, and, anyway, to meet their additional learning requirements. Students passing the exam in Calculus and Linear Algebra will be deemed to have satisfied the Additional Learning Requirements.

Assessment of knowledge and of language skills

Admission to the degree programme is subject to the assessment of knowledge and skills in the English language. The minimum required level is B2. The evaluation methods and documents needed will be published annually in the call for applications and might indicate a level higher than the minimum required.
