From 20 May and until 11:59 p.m. on 1 September 2025 , it is possible to register for the admission competition by paying the participation fee ( € 120.00).

Payment of the participation fee - to be made by 1 September 2025 - constitutes the completion of the registration without which it is not  allowed to take the exam.

The admission tests are held remotely ( home-based) on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 September 2025 at 2:30 pm.

When registering for the test, each candidate selects the session they wish to participate in, subject to availability of places.

When enrolling, it is necessary to indicate 2 degree courses among all those in Offer25/26 (see table below) specifying the order of preference (first choice and second choice) with the exception of the courses active at the Claudiana teaching centre in Bolzano, for which it is necessary to consult the website https://www.claudiana.bz.it/it).

The chosen degree programmes and the order of preference can be changed no later than 1 September 2025 by using the "edit competition registration" function of your enrolment profile.

Preferences and the order of preference are binding in the preparation of the merit rankings, therefore a careful reading of art. 10 of the competition notice.

The rankings will be drawn up taking into consideration as a matter of priority:

1. the choices and order of preference expressed by each candidate (first and second choice);
2. the score obtained.

Therefore, the final ranking of each degree course will be composed first of all of the candidates who have indicated the degree course as "first choice" ordered on the basis of merit, and then of those who have indicated the course as "second choice" in turn ordered on the basis of merit.

Each candidate will therefore be placed in the ranking list for both chosen degree courses: if he/she is "admitted" to the programme indicated as "first choice", his/her position in the ranking list of the degree programme indicated as "second choice" will be cancelled.

On the contrary, if he/she is "admitted" to the programme indicated as "second choice", he/she will maintain his/her position in the ranking list in the programme indicated as "first choice", based on his/her score, and may be called upon to enrol in the event of a subsequent transfer.

The exam is delivered REMOTELY (via online web testing platform with remote control system).

It is essential to have:

• A PC (Windows 8 operating system, or later, or LINUX) or MAC (MAC-OS 10.14 or later) equipped with a working webcam and microphone ;

• GOOGLE CHROME browser (min. version 81.0) to be used as the only browser provided;

• Internet connectivity with minimum upload and download speed of 1.5 Mbps;

• A smartphone or tablet (Android min 4.1 – IOs min v.8) equipped with a webcam. We also recommend the use of wi-fi, during the procedure you will be asked to download an APP on your smartphone/tablet (34MB) from Google Play or from the AppStore (depending on whether you are using a smartphone with Android or IoS operating system).

(n.b.: The tablet can ONLY be used as a replacement for the Smartphone, not the PC/Mac).

In the days leading up to the test, each candidate will receive instructions via e-mail for the verification of the technical requirements (check requirement) to be carried out within 24 hours before the test.

At the end of the check requirement, a second e-mail is sent containing the link to access the exam with confirmation of the date and time of convocation.

It is necessary to carefully check that you meet all the technical requirements indicated in art. 9 of the competition notice.

In the event of technical problems with the required equipment, the candidate will be held responsible for any problems that may occur during the admission examination.

All candidates are invited to pay the utmost attention to the General  and Behavioural Rules for the correct conduct of the tests in home-based mode (art. 8) in order not to engage in unlawful conduct or in any case not permitted by the regulations that lead to exclusion.

The test consists of 60 multiple-choice questions (max 60 points) distributed as follows:

• 20 questions of logical reasoning

• 30 questions of scientific culture: n. 10 of chemistry, n. 10 of biology, n. 5 of physics and n. 5 of mathematics (with elements of logic)

• 5 general knowledge questions

• 5 questions of ethical-religious culture

At the end of the exam, each candidate must answer further 8 questions in 8 minutes (so-called "reserve questions"), one for each subject, automatically assigned by the platform.

• The "reserve" questions do not count towards the determination of the final score

• they will only be used in the event that an anomaly emerges in one or more questions of the test that leads to their cancellation, replacing only the one relating to the same subject

The test lasts 60 minutes (plus an additional 8 minutes for the "reserve questions").
