Preparing for university entrance exams

Versione italiana

1, To access bachelor's and single-cycle master's degree programs, it is necessary to take an admission or assessment test:

For programs with limited enrollment (local and national), a limited number of spots are available, so only those who pass the test and rank high enough in the list can enroll. Failing to achieve a minimum score can result in additional educational obligations (it is necessary to carefully read the academic regulations, in italian, of the program);
For programs with open enrollment, a negative test result does not prevent enrollment. Failing to achieve a minimum score can result in additional educational obligations to be fulfilled within the first year of the course (it is necessary to carefully read the academic regulations, in italian, of the program).
For information regarding the topics and dates of the exam, it is necessary to consult the page related to the Admission Notices of the courses of interest. The admission notice is the document that explains how to enroll in the University and provides useful information about the test.
