What are OFA (Additional Learning Requirements) and how to fulfil them

OFA - Additional Learning Requirements

In order to detect possible lacks in the subject Mathematics, additional learning requirements (known by the Italian acronym OFA - Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi) could be assigned.

Although TOLC-E test is not compulsory as admission procedure, all applicants to FINMA programme shall be aware that:

- based on TOLC-E results (obtained after 1 January 2025) in the Mathematics section, students will be NOT given Additional Learning Requirements in case of grading higher or equal than 3,5. 

- based on SAT results in the Mathematics section students will be NOT given Additional Learning Requirements in case of grading higher or equal than 400.

- based on CENT-S results in the Mathematics section students will be NOT given Additional Learning Requirements in case of grading higher or equal than 4,05.

Students possessing one of the above certificates with the scores indicated must send them to cdl.finma@unibo.it to prove they fulfill the requirement.

The OFA requirement is otherwise fulfilled by passing the specific OFA test, for which 4 exam dates will be set (October-November, December, February-March, June).
