Video preparation exercises
The topics required in the TIEC admission test in the mathematics area are:
- Elementary notions of set theory.
- Number sets and their representation: natural, rational, real numbers, inequalities. Percentages.
- Powers and their properties. Exponentials and logarithms and their properties. Sorting of real numbers.
- Literal calculus: monomials, polynomials. Operations between monomials and polynomials: algebraic sum, product. Remarkable products. Prime factorizations. gcd and mcm of monomials and polynomials.
- Algebraic fractions. Equations of the first degree and second degree integers and fractions. Integer and fractional inequalities of the first and second degree. Systems of equations and inequalities of the first and second degree.
- Basic exponential and logarithmic equations and inequalities.
- Analytical geometry: Cartesian coordinates, distance between two points, midpoint of a segment, equations of line, circumference and parabola, parallel and perpendicular lines, belonging of a point to a curve. Outline of trigonometry.
A preparation book is available to practice for the Mathematics area:
- "Mathematics Notes: Preliminary Notions" - Educatt (2023)
by Ballerio Augusto Carlo, Braggion Francesca, Dettoni Maurizio, Gazzaniga Agradi Piercarla, Mainini Alessandra, Messineo Grazia Caterina, Ubiali Gianandrea, Vassallo Salvatore Flavio
(the volume is also available in digital format that can be purchased here)
In addition, the following is also available for practice:
The online mathematics precourse Theorem. At the first access, explicit consent to the processing of personal data will be requested from all students, even those already registered. Consent, required only once, is mandatory to continue using the platform. To use Teorema, all you need is a valid e-mail address and register at the https://elearning.teorema.cineca.it/login/index.php address , from Create an account, and entering the following code: 123Teorema. At the end of the registration procedure, a registration message will be sent containing instructions on how to access the Teorema course.
Reserve your place by paying the first instalment of university fees (€1,470) via the Enrolment Portal. It is possible to do this even before graduating
After graduating, complete your enrolment by the deadlines:
- If you have reserved your place by 12 August 2025, the deadline is 12 September 2025
- if you reserve your place after 12 August: within 30 days of the reserve date
At this stage you will be asked for your baptismal certificate. If you do not have one, you can submit replacement documentation by choosing from these possibilities:
If you've been baptized but can't find your original certificate, you can fill out a self-certification.
If you have not been baptized, you can make an appointment for an interview with the pastoral assistant on campus. After the interview, you will receive a valid certificate as replacement documentation. In case you have already made an appointment but are still waiting for the interview, you can temporarily submit a self-certification attesting to this situation.
Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI)
The Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI) is a compulsory test, included in the Tiec online admission test and serves to assess your starting level and support you in the beginning of your university career.
Passing the VPI is achieved with a score equal to or greater than 7 in the mathematics area.
In the event of failure to pass the VPI through the ADMISSION TEST (TIEC) or in the event of a negative result, an Additional Training Obligation (OFA) is assigned to fill the gaps found.
Any OFA assignment is communicated after enrolment on the personal iCatt page.

To register for the admission test to the programme, you must declare in the Enrolment Portal the average obtained in the penultimate year of secondary school.
If you are about to obtain or have obtained an Italian diploma and have attended the entire penultimate year of secondary school abroad, in order to register for the admission test you must declare in the Enrolment Portal the average converted according to the Italian grade system and upload the report card issued to you by the Italian school.
If you are unable to retrieve the converted report card, but you have the average in tenths relating to the year spent abroad, you can upload an official document issued by the school certifying this information.
If, on the other hand, you only have a document indicating the school credits assigned, you must upload it and take into account that the average obtained is defined according to the following table:
| School credits fourth year | Grade point average assigned |
|---|---|
8 |
6 |

6,5 |

If you do not have one of the documents indicated above, declare the average obtained in the third to last year and upload, in a single file, the relative report card and the transcript of the penultimate year carried out abroad.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you have only spent the 1st semester abroad , declare the average obtained in the second semester, expressed in tenths and upload the report card of the penultimate year showing the average obtained in the final examination in tenths.
If you have only completed the 2nd semester abroad , declare the converted average according to the Italian grade system and upload the report card with the marks of the final scrutiny issued by the Italian school.
If you are unable to find the report card with the converted final exam grades or a document showing the average or credits obtained at the end of the penultimate year, declare the average obtained at the end of the 1st semester spent in Italy and upload, in a single file, the transcript of the semester spent abroad and the report card of the first semester attended in Italy.
ATTENTION: under no circumstances will translations of foreign transcripts or self-certifications of conversion of grades be accepted.
