Admission procedures
For the academic year 2022-23, access to the degree course in Nature and Environmental Sciences is free. However, students registering for the degree course are required to take a test to assess their initial knowledge of Mathematics, which usually takes place before the start of classes. The test is compulsory but not selective, i.e. admission to the degree course is not conditional on passing the test.
Failure to meet the threshold set by the Degree Course entails the allocation of specific additional training obligations (OFAs) that must be met by the student within the first year of the course.
The calendar of dates on which the tests can be held, information on how to participate and the topics covered by the questions and marks will be available on the Degree Course webpage between late August and early September.
You do not need to be already enrolled in the Degree Course to take the test.
The following are exempt from taking the test:
- students enrolling on the Degree Course having already obtained a technical-scientific degree;
- students transferring from another degree course of our or another university having already passed a mathematics examination;
- students who have successfully taken an early test to verify their scientific knowledge in the two years prior to enrolment (e.g. tests that include a maths test such as the TOLC test, even if taken at another university, or the CORDA test), provided that they present documentation proving that they have passed the test.
