The test takes place online, lasts 40 minutes and includes 30 questions on knowledge of the Italian language, general culture and reading comprehension.

We recommend that you review the instructions and run the demo before the trial.

These materials will help you prepare in the best possible way: content, previous tests with and without solutions.

If you are among the admitted candidates, you can reserve your place by paying the first instalment of university fees (€1,500) via the Enrolment Portal. It is possible to do it even before graduating.  

Places are allocated according to the order of the ranking. In the event of a waiting list, any repechage is published in the dedicated section of the programme page. 

The result of the test also counts for admission to the Communication and Society course, if you also apply for that course.

After graduating, complete your enrolment.

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)

After completing your enrolment, you will find on your personal iCatt page the convocation with the date to carry out the Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI), a compulsory test.

The VPI does not limit access or attendance to the degree course, but it serves to understand your starting level of preparation and help you better cope with university studies.

The test takes place online and you will receive all the technical instructions to participate.

If you need to move the assigned date, you can request it directly from your iCatt page

Compile income

Finally, don't forget to enter your income data by the end of November, using the "Compila redditi" application, accessible from your personal iCatt page.

To register for the admission test for this course, 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 grading system and upload the report card issued 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:

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 grading system and upload the report card with the marks of the final scrutiny issued by the Italian school.

If you are unable to retrieve 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.

PLEASE NOTE: under no circumstances will translations of foreign transcripts or self-certifications of conversion of grades be accepted.

If you are a graduate candidate or enrolled in schools with a foreign qualification, follow the procedures set out by the International Admissions Office
