The Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI) consists of a compulsory test for all students enrolled in the 1st year of a undergraduate or a integrated five-year/six-year degree programme, in order to be able to ascertain the basic knowledge to successfully attend the chosen degree programme.
The VPI is not a constraint for access to or attendance to the programme, but it is an opportunity for students to measure their knowledge and skills at the beginning of their university career.
For this programme of study there is an online WRITTEN TEST which also includes the VPI.
Passing the VPI is achieved with at least 8 correct answers out of 12 in the thematic area of Chemistry and Biology of the online WRITTEN TEST.
In case of failure to pass the VPI through the online WRITTEN TEST, an Additional Educational Obligation (OFA) is assigned to fill the gaps found.
Students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are invited to view the dedicated section by clicking here
For this degree profile, the Faculty has determined the following Additional Educational Obligation:
- "Chemistry and Biology": 11-hour online pre-course, with final exam.
Students are required to attend the OFA according to the scheduled calendar (consult the Newly Enrolled students' Kit of their Faculty). Students who have participated in at least 70% of the scheduled hours are admitted to the final examination of the OFA course. Passing the final exam entails the fulfilment of the OFA and the possibility of continuing in the university course without further Additional Educational Obligations. During the first year, there are up to 3 attempts to pass the final examination, without the need to attend the OFA course again.
In case of failure to pass the OFA final exam, the Group Tutor in charge will contact the student in order to support him/her in the process of accompanying him/her to the above test.
At the end of the early summer session and/or the summer session of the exams, the lecturer in charge of the course of study, having evaluated the results of the VPI and the final examinations of the aforementioned course, and taking into account the exams of the 1st year passed by the student, may consider the OFA to have been fulfilled.
Otherwise, the student is required to renew his/her enrolment in the first year of the programme as a repeating student.
