Notice of public competition a.y. 2024/25

Sign up for the competition

Participation in the competition is subject to the completion of the online registration procedure, the booking of the chosen session(s ) and the payment of the participation fee of € 250.00 through the PayPal circuit accessible only from the registration platform.

It is possible to take up to two tests. In fact, there will be two exam sessions according to the following schedule:

FIRST ROUND: from 29 FEBRUARY to 2 MARCH 2024;

SECOND ROUND: from 18 to 20 APRIL 2024.

Those who, in the manner set forth in art. 3 of the competition notice, apply from 18 December 2023 and until 14 February 2024 will be able to participate in both rounds of examinations.

Those who apply from 4 March 2024 and no later than 4 April 2024 will only be able to participate in the exam round from 18 to 20 April 2024.

The final merit list of each integrated degree programme will be drawn up according to the criteria set out in art. 8 of the call for applications, always preserving the choice of the degree course or the order of preference expressed during enrolment (first and possible second choice) and then the best score obtained in the tests taken, if more than one, or in the only test taken.

You can participate if:

  • in possession of an Italian or foreign diploma;
  • enrolled in the last year of secondary school in Italy or abroad, provided that they graduate from high school by 31 July 2024.

Students enrolled in the PENULTIMATE year of high school may NOT take the test or "keep" their score for admission to the academic year 2025/26.

The admission tests will be delivered in multi-session computer-based mode in presence at qualified test centers in the cities of Rome, Milan, Naples, Bari, Reggio Calabria, Catania, Palermo, Cagliari.

Places at each venue/exam session are allocated on a filling basis, taking into consideration only registrations completed according to the criteria expressed in art. 3 of the Notice of Competition.

The general list of the calls, with indication of the location, date and time of the test of each candidate, for the aforementioned examination rounds will be published respectively:

  • From 21 February 2024 for the shift from 29 February to 2 March 2024;
  • From 11 April 2024 for the shift from 18 to 20 April 2024.

If, due to contingencies or for organisational reasons, it is necessary to make changes to the calendar of the admission test or to the methods of administering the test, all those registered for the competition will be notified by means of notices on this page.

Carry out the on-line registration procedure and from the Competition Registration Summary page click on "Make payment and booking". You will be able to choose the VENUE and the SESSION of the exam from the list proposed by the University until availability for each location/session is exhausted.

Once you have selected your choice of venue/session for each reference round, you will have to pay the participation fee of € 250.00.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Payment must be made within 60 minutes of booking:

  • if the payment is NOT made within the 60 minutes provided, the seat reservation will be cancelled and the candidate, if interested in taking the test, will have to repeat the booking operation - choosing from the sessions available at the time of accessing the platform - and always pay within 60 minutes;
  • Once the payment has been completed, you will receive an e-mail confirming your booking and payment of the fee. Only then will the procedure have been successfully concluded.

Information regarding registration for the competition and payment made is always available in the candidate's reserved area under the "Log" menu item of the portal and is the only official source for confirmation of registration and the choices expressed by the candidate (shift, venue, date, time and payment).

Any change of venue/session must be carried out directly by the candidate by switching back on the booking platform. The request for a change of venue/session is allowed only within the registration deadlines of each shift (i.e. by 14 February 2024 for the shift from 29 February to 2 March 2024 and by 4 April 2024 for the shift from 18 to 20 April 2024).

After this deadline, no change of venue and/or session will be allowed.

It is possible to apply for one or both single-cycle degree programmes, indicating, if necessary, the order of preference (first choice and second choice). The order of preference, if expressed, is binding for the purposes of drawing up the final rankings of the two degree courses.

The degree programme to be applied for or the order of reference expressed can be changed before the deadline for submitting applications for the first round in which the candidate has enrolled (i.e. by 14 February if you have registered for both rounds of tests or by 4 April if you have registered exclusively for the second round of the examination. In any case, if the candidate has already taken the test in the first round, he/she may NOT change the degree programme or order of preference for the second round of the examination.

Each ranking will be drawn up taking into account

  1. first of all , the choice of the degree course or the order of preference, where expressed;
  2. secondly , the best score obtained in the written test.

Therefore, each ranking will be composed first of all of the candidates who have indicated the degree course as their "first" or "only" choice, respectively ordered on the basis of merit, then of the candidates who have indicated the degree course as their possible "second" choice respectively ordered on the basis of merit.

The candidate who is "admitted" to the course of the best choice (first choice) will automatically have their position in the ranking in the degree course of the worst choice (second choice) cancelled.

On the contrary, if you are "admitted" to a course of worse preference (i.e. to the second choice course, where indicated) you will always maintain your position in the ranking in the course of the best preference (first and choice).

For further details on the preparation of the rankings, please consult the competition notice.

The entrance examination consists of a written test of sixty (60) multiple-choice questions, which present five answer options, among which the candidate must identify only one by discarding the incorrect, arbitrary or less probable conclusions, distributed as follows:

  • 32 logical and logical-mathematical reasoning questions;
  • 20 questions on scientific culture (10 on chemistry and 10 on biology);
  • 3 general knowledge questions
  • 5 questions of ethical-religious culture

A maximum time of 60 minutes is allocated for the test. A maximum score of 60 (sixty) points is awarded for the evaluation of the test according to the following criteria:

  • 1 point for each correct answer
  • minus 0.25 points for each wrong answer
  • 0 points for each answer not given (omitted)

In consideration of the need to carry out several exam sessions and in order to preserve par condicio, transparency, impartiality and the smooth running of the selection, separate exams will be prepared for each session in compliance with the criteria of balancing the various types of questions. At the end of the exam (whether it coincides with the expiry of the maximum time allowed or with the voluntary early closure) each candidate must answer a further 6 questions in 6 minutes automatically assigned by the exam platform (one for each subject).

These so-called "reserve" questions will NOT count towards the ordinary assessment of the test unless, after the scheduled sessions have been held, an anomaly emerges in one or more questions such as to lead to their cancellation. Only in this case, once the criticality has been ascertained, will the University consider neutralising it and replacing the question with the reserve question relating to the same subject, in order to guarantee the objectivity of the assessments and equal treatment of candidates.

Once you have paid the entrance exam fee, you will have free and unlimited access to the online simulation platform made available by the University. On the summary page you will find the link to the simulation platform (you will not receive the link by email but you will have to re-enter your subscription profile).

The candidate who is "admitted" to the course of the best choice (first choice) will automatically have their position in the ranking in the degree course of the worst choice (second choice) cancelled. On the contrary, if you are "admitted" to a course of worse preference (i.e. to the second choice course, where indicated) you will always maintain your position in the ranking in the course of the best preference (first and choice). For further details on the preparation of the rankings, please consult the competition notice.

 

When will the merit rankings be published?

The final merit rankings of each degree programme will be published on this page only once both rounds of the exam have been concluded, i.e. from 6 May 2024 automatically taking into account the best score obtained in the two tests, or the only final score achieved if you have participated in only one of the two exam sessions.
