The admission test, entirely in English, is scheduled for 25 March 2026 in multi-session home-based mode (at the candidate's PC terminals and through a remote surveillance platform). The University reserves the right to activate additional sessions on 26 March 2026 if the number of candidates exceeds the total number of places available for remote connection at each session.

A general convocation list with the date and time of the exam will be published from 11 March 2026. The time of the test will be communicated by e-mail at least 5 days before the day of the exam.

The indicated convocation time must be strictly observed.

Those who, for whatever reason, log on after the closing of the identification stages will not be admitted to the test.

The test consists of 65 multiple-choice questions divided in:

• 2 of general culture
• 20 of logical reasoning
• 18 of biology
• 12 of chemistry
• 4 of physics
• 4 of mathematics
• 5 of ethical-religious culture

At the end of the test, each candidate must answer further 7 questions in 7 minutes automatically assigned by the test platform (one for each subject). These "reserve" questions will NOT count towards the assessment of the test unless, after the scheduled test sessions have been held, an anomaly emerges in one or more questions in each subject that leads to their cancellation. Only in this case, once the criticality has been ascertained, the University will consider neutralising it and replacing it with the reserve question relating to the same subject, in order to guarantee the objectivity of the assessments and equal treatment among the candidates.

The test lasts maximum 65 minutes (plus 7 minutes for the reserve questions). A maximum score of 65 points is allocated 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

The minimum score required to be eligible for the degree programme must be no less than 20 points out of 65. Those who are placed in the corresponding ranking list in order of places available are admitted to the programme.

The test is administered on a special platform that allows remote control, both live and with review of the tests (audio-video recording of all stages of the procedure).

The room that the candidate chooses to take the test must be well lit, isolated, quiet and equipped with a single access door that must remain closed for the duration of the procedure. During the competition procedure, the candidate is held personally responsible for the correct configuration of the workstation according to the instructions given to him/her at the start and/or during the test and for the isolation of the room.
