The interview takes place in Italian, online via Microsoft Teams.

It is aimed at verifying basic skills and reading comprehension, as well as providing information on the course and the profession.

To access the interview, an e-mail will be sent with time and instructions, you will be asked for a valid identity document. To be eligible, you must obtain at least 12 points out of 20 (5 points from the average of the penultimate year, 15 from the interview).

The result is published in the dedicated section of the website. In the event of a negative result, it is not possible to repeat the interview. 

If you are eligible, you can reserve your place by paying the first instalment of the tuition fees (€ 1,470).  It is possible to do so even before you have graduated.

Reservations are accepted in chronological order until 15 December 2025.

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 Initial Preparation Test (VPI) is a compulsory test, included in the admission interview, which serves to assess your starting level and help you better cope with university studies. 

Those who do not correctly answer at least 2 out of 3 questions relating to the Reading comprehension part during the oral interview, receive an OFA (Additional Educational Obligation) in Knowledge of the Italian language and reading comprehension. 

The OFA provides:

  • a compulsory course with required attendance,
  • a final skills test.

The course and assessment must be completed and passed within the first year. 

Any OFA assignment is communicated after enrolment on the personal iCatt page.

Income Statement

Finally, don't forget to enter your income data by the end of November 2025, using the "Income Statement" application, accessible from your personal iCatt page.
