Admission assessment
For academic year 2022/2023, admission to the degree programme in Biological Sciences is capped in order to meet high-quality teaching standards relative to available resources. Therefore, applicants will be required to sit a TOLC (Test On Line CISIA) admission test. There are 250 places available for the first year of the programme. You may sit for the TOLC test at the University of Milan or any other member university of CISIA (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems). You can register for the TOLC test on the CISIA website (www.cisiaonline.it). The test providing access to the degree programme in Biological Sciences is TOLC-B, consisting of the following sections: Basic mathematics (20 questions - 50 minutes), Biology (10 questions - 20 minutes), Physics (10 questions - 20 minutes), Chemistry (10 questions - 20 minutes). Each question has 5 answer options, of which only one is correct. Score: +1 for a correct answer, -0.25 for a wrong answer, 0 for a no answer. The TOLC test includes an additional English section, consisting of 30 questions to be answered in 15 minutes. This section does not count toward the overall test score.
Ranking criteria for the purpose of admission to the programme will be based on the outcome of the test. If you take the TOLC-B test and apply for admission to the degree programme in Biological Sciences, you will be included in a merit ranking based on the test score.

Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities First-year students who have not achieved at least 10 points in the Mathematics module will have to fulfil additional learning requirements (OFA) by attending remedial activities organized by the University and passing the final test.
Students who fail the remedial test will be deemed to have met their OFA upon passing the "General Mathematics and Computer Laboratory" exam. However, students may sit the exam only if they have attended the OFA remedial course and taken the final test. The "General Mathematics and Computer Laboratory" exam is a prerequisite for all second-year exams.
