- disciplines from the area of law; - disciplines from the area of sociology and social service; - disciplines from the area of psychology The assessment is carried out by a committee of professors/instructors appointed by the Course Council.

Students who do not pass this test will be directed to fulfil additional educational obligations (OFAs) by attending supplementary and tutorial activities in November, for a minimum of 6 hours, aimed at filling the gaps revealed by the entrance test.
The same training activities will be repeated before the December examination session for students who did not take part in the cycle of activities organised in November. Prior to the summer examination session, if necessary, an additional repetition of these training activities will be reserved for any students who have finalised their enrolment in the second-cycle degree by March and have not passed the above-mentioned entrance test.
Students who have not fulfilled the additional educational obligations will not be allowed to take examinations. In addition, students who have not fulfilled their additional educational obligations by September of the year following enrolment will be able to enrol in the second year of the course, but will not be able to sit examinations before the additional training obligations have been fulfilled.
