Physics (Classe L-30)-Enrolled from 2012/2013 Academic Year

Qualifications and knowledge required for admission
Applicants to the Bachelor's degree programme in Physics must hold an upper secondary-school diploma or an equivalent qualification obtained abroad.
Admission to the programme is open, subject to a mandatory, non-selective assessment test before enrolment. The test is aimed at ascertaining the candidate's educational background, in terms of baseline knowledge and understanding of scientific disciplines, especially mathematics and elementary logic. The test syllabus is available at:
https://www.cisiaonline.it/area-tematica-tolc-scienze/struttura-della-prova-e-syllabus/

Admission assessment
Candidates are usually assessed through the TOLC CISIA Online Test, to be taken at the University of Milan or any other universities belonging to the Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems (CISIA). You can register for the TOLC test on the CISIA website (www.cisiaonline.it).

Admission of transfer or graduate students
Transfer students from a degree programme of the University of Milan, or another university, and graduate students will be waived from the test requirement only if they are admitted to years subsequent to the first.
To this end, they will have to submit a specific request for prior assessment of their academic career using the online service as shown in the call for applications.
These candidates must provide a full transcript of records (listing exams, subject areas, credits, grades) and attach the course syllabi. For more details, please refer to the call for applications.
The request for career assessment must be submitted by 10 June 2021.
The outcome will be notified via e-mail by 15 July 2021.
Students admitted to the first year will be required to take the test.

The TOLC tests providing access to the degree programme in Physics are TOLC-S and TOLC-I.
Only after taking one of these tests, will you be able to enrol, WHATEVER THE RESULT:
- TOLC-S, divided into 4 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)
- TOLC-I, divided into 4 sections: Mathematics (20 questions - 50 minutes), Logic (10 questions - 20 minutes), Science (10 questions - 20 minutes), Verbal comprehension (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.

Each TOLC test includes an additional English section, consisting of 30 questions to be answered in 15 minutes. It does not replace the for-credit English proficiency assessment required by the degree programme (see "Language assessments" in the programme description), but it is a self-assessment for the student.

Other equivalent tests may be accepted on a case-by-case basis, with the prior approval of the Academic Board.

Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
First-year students who have not achieved at least 10 points in the Basic mathematics module will have to fulfil additional learning requirements (OFA) for this subject within the first year of the programme.
Remedial activities and tests: Students with additional learning requirements will have to carry out remedial activities in the period October-December, and then take a test to prove they have filled their gaps. Otherwise, they may not take any second-year exams before passing the Mechanics exam (https://fisica.cdl.unimi.it/it/studiare/le-matricole).
