Chemistry (Classe L-27)-Students Enrolled from the Academic Year 2022-2023

Qualifications and knowledge required for admission
Applicants to the Bachelor's degree programme in Chemistry must hold a high-school diploma or an equivalent international qualification pursuant to Ministerial Decree no. 270 of 22 October 2004.
Other requirements include basic knowledge of mathematics and chemistry, as well as the ability to make simple logical deductions according to levels of competence not higher than those achieved through upper secondary-school education.
Admission assessment
Admission into the Bachelor's degree programme in Chemistry is capped at the local level in order to meet high-quality teaching standards relative to the available resources. There are 130 places available for the first year of the programme. You may sit for the entrance test (TOLC -Test On Line CISIA) at the University of Milan or any other member university of CISIA (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems). Register to the TOLC test on the CISIA website (www.cisiaonline.it).
The test required for admission to the degree programme in Chemistry is TOLC-S, consisting of the following sections: Basic mathematics (20 questions - 50 minutes), Reasoning and Problems (10 questions - 20 minutes), Reading comprehension (10 questions - 20 minutes), Basic sciences (chemistry, physics and geology - 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. The score in this section does not affect the merit ranking, nor does it replace the for-credit assessment of English language proficiency required by the degree programme (see the language assessment section). However, it is a student self-assessment.
Students who have taken the TOLC-S test and intend to access the Bachelor's degree programme in Chemistry of the University of Milan MUST ALSO enrol in the selection process to be included in the merit ranking based on the test score. Winners may enrol by the deadlines set out in the call for applications.
The selection is divided into several time windows beginning in spring and ending in early September. For more details on calls, deadlines and rankings, visit https://www.unimi.it/en/study/bachelor-and-master-study/degree-programme-enrolment/enrolment-first-degree-programme
Admission of transfer or graduate students
Students already enrolled in a degree programme at the University of Milan, or another University, as well as graduate students, can only be waived from the test requirement if they meet the requirements for admission to years following Year I (of the programme edition for students who first enrolled up to A.Y. 2021-2022), i.e. they have earned at least 30 CFU for first-year exams, of which 9 available as transfer credits for the Fundamentals of Mathematics exam.
To this end, they will have to submit a specific request for prior assessment of their academic records using the online service as shown in the call for applications. Applicants must submit their transcript of records
(including subject areas, credits and grades, course syllabi). For more details, please refer to the call for applications.
The application will be reviewed by the degree programme's Transfer Board. Any applicants who cannot be admitted to years following the first will have to take the test and rank high enough to be admitted to the programme.
The assessment application, with the transcript of records, must be submitted by the date that will be stated in the call and posted to the programme website.
The outcome will be notified via e-mail.
Students admitted to years subsequent to the first may enrol in compliance with the deadlines and procedures specified in the call for applications.
Students admitted to the first year will have to take the test and apply for admission, as per the call.
Similarly, all applications for exam equivalence/transfer credits must attach exam syllabi in order to expedite procedures.
Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
Students who have not achieved at least 10 points in the basic mathematics module of TOLC-S will have to fulfil additional learning requirements (OFA).
Students with additional learning requirements will have to carry out remedial activities organised by the University in the period October-December, and then take a test to prove they have filled their gaps. Otherwise, they may not sit any first-year exams before passing the Fundamentals of Calculus exam, with the exclusion of the 3 credits for English language proficiency.
