The admission test takes place online and is in English.
The test is psychometric and assesses logical reasoning, critical thinking and text comprehension. It is divided into three parts.
The first part consists of 50 questions covering analogies, classifications, general knowledge and series completion and lasts 25 minutes.
The second part consists of 10 questions that contain a variety of information and data against which the correctness of the answer options must be evaluated, and lasts 10 minutes.
The third part consists of 4 pieces of text with 3 comprehension questions each and lasts 15 minutes.
Each correct answer is assigned a score of 1; each not given or incorrect answer is assigned a score of 0.
We recommend that you consult the instructions and practice with simulations.
For each period, a ranking list of admitted candidates and any waiting list are drawn up.
Candidates who correctly answer at least 1 question for each part of the admission test can participate in the ranking. Candidates who do not answer correctly at least 1 question for each part of the admission test are considered ineligible.
The list of admitted candidates is drawn up on the basis of their school career and the outcome of the test.
The ranking list of admitted candidates and any waiting list will be published in the dedicated section.
If you are admitted, you can reserve your place by paying the first instalment of university fees via the Enrolment Portal, according to the deadlines indicated above.
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)
The Verification of Initial Preparation (VPI) is a compulsory test for all students enrolled in the first year of an undergraduate degree programme or an integrated degree programme.
For the Psychology programme, the VPI is included in the admission test.
The VPI serves to assess your initial level of preparation and offer you useful suggestions for approaching your university studies with greater awareness.
The VPI is passed with at least 6 correct answers in the third part of the admission test.
If you get fewer than 6 correct answers, you will be assigned an Additional Educational Obligation (OFA) to make up for the knowledge gaps identified.
Any assignment of OFA will be communicated with the publication of the admission test results and also after enrolment on your personal iCatt page.
Provide income data
Finally, don't forget to enter your income data by the end of November, using the "Compile income" application, accessible from your personal iCatt page.
